Overview
Get an introduction to the genius of one of the world's most famous architects on a 2.5-hour walking tour of Antoni Gaudí’s Barcelona. Meet your guide on Plaça Reial, near the Rambla boulevard, the site of one of Gaudí's first commissions. Stroll over to Palau Güell to admire the impressive façade of the mansion he built for the industrial tycoon, Eusebi Güell. Next, take a short Metro ride to Passeig de Gràcia, and explore the façades of his 2 best-known houses: Casa Batlló and Casa Milà/La Pedrera. See some of Gaudi’s typical motifs, such as organic, undulating building styles, the use of mosaic tiles, and twisting balconies of wrought iron. Continue by Metro to Sagrada Familia. Learn all the intricacies of Gaudí’s basilica, which commenced in 1882 and left unfinished at the time of his death in 1926. The iconic monument is a masterclass in Gaudi’s radical and innovative work.
