Park Güell Guided Tour

Discover the magical charms of Park Güell, one of the seven works of Antoni Gaudi creations and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Like the iconic Sagrada Familia, the hilltop public park is a top Barcelona attraction that took Antoni Gaudi 15 years to design and build. Enjoy a guided tour of this magnificent site with its whimsical fountains, mosaic benches, pedestrian walkways, and gingerbread house and admire its Art Nouveau style, a form of art inspired by natural forms and structures, like the curved edges of flowers or other plants.

Explore over 100 years of history of the gorgeous park that came onto the scene in 1900 when Barcelona was a modern and cosmopolitan metropolis and the engineer Ildefons Cerdà studied in depth the difficulties of modern city growth. Barcelona expanded rapidly throughout the second half of the 19th century. Its central area began to take shape as a large bourgeois center. The Universal Exhibition of 1888 promoted the search for a new artistic language and urban representation. The park is the perfect representation of the city’s growth, and remains a popular icon within the city.
