Resellers: activity platforms and agencies also offer Casa Batlló, sometimes with a guide. Check that it is a dated admission ticket and not just a « reservation » to be exchanged, and compare with the official price for the same day. We do not give a price gap: official prices change by time slot.

Opening hours and closing days

Casa Batlló is « open every day of the year ». The overall range runs from 8:30 am to 10:30 pm, with last entry at 9:30 pm and a ticket office open until 9 pm. In practice, the time that matters is that of your package: 9 am–7:45 pm for the general visit, 8:30 pm–9:30 pm for the night visit. The website mentions no weekly closing day; occasional closures (private events) remain possible, which is why booking a time slot is worthwhile.

Best time to visit Casa Batlló

The visit is mostly indoors, but it ends on the terrace and the roof. In Barcelona, average maximum temperatures range from 14 °C (57 °F) in January to 28.9 °C (84 °F) in August, and the wettest months are September (86 mm / 3.4 in) and October (82 mm / 3.2 in), according to the AEMET 1991–2020 normals for El Prat airport taken from our page on the best time to visit Barcelona.

• To avoid the crowds: the early-morning « Be the First » package (8:30 am) or the night visit. The official website publishes no crowd figures by hour, so we give none.
• In summer: the night visit avoids the afternoon heat on the roof.

Gaudí plan in one day: Sagrada Família, Park Güell and Casa Batlló

All three sites require a time slot. Our decision tree starts from your slots, not the other way around:

• If you find an early slot at the Sagrada Família → Sagrada Família in the morning, Park Güell in the early afternoon, Casa Batlló at the end of the day or on the night visit (8:30 pm–9:30 pm).
• If only the afternoon is free at the Sagrada Família → Casa Batlló at 9 am (or « Be the First » at 8:30 am), Park Güell in late morning, Sagrada Família in the afternoon.
• If you are traveling with children under 12 → Casa Batlló is free for them and takes 1 hour 15 minutes: place it when they are still fresh, and do not stack more than two visits.
• If you only have half a day → Casa Batlló then La Pedrera, its neighbor on the same Passeig de Gràcia, rather than crossing the city.

Casa Batlló and the Sagrada Família are linked by metro (check the route on the TMB website). Allow margins: the slots are strict at each site.

What to see: suggested route

The visit follows a single route, from the entrance to the roof, with the audio guide of the official Gaudí App (augmented reality, in 15 languages). The highlights:

1. The vestibule and the staircase, shaped like a spine.
2. The noble floor: the main salon and its bays over the Passeig de Gràcia, the spiral ceilings, the curved woodwork.
3. The light well: blue tiles whose shade lightens toward the bottom to spread the light.
4. The attic with its catenary arches.
5. The roof and its « dragon’s back » of ceramic scales, with the chimneys.

Time needed: about 1 hour 15 minutes for the general visit; add time if you take the package with the exhibition.

Getting there

Address: Passeig de Gràcia, 43, Barcelona. Transport listed by the official website: metro Passeig de Gràcia (lines L3 and L4), Renfe train Passeig de Gràcia (R2 Nord, R2 Sud), bus stop Pg de Gràcia – Aragó (lines 7, 22, V15).

Accessibility, strollers and services

• Wheelchair users can visit all areas of the house (official website).
• Two priority elevators for people with disabilities, reduced mobility and pregnant women.
• For children under 2, the house lends a baby carrier and keeps the stroller.
• Tablet with subtitles available; free Wi-Fi.

Common mistakes

• Relying on the « from » price: the rate depends on the day and time slot.
• Forgetting proof for a discount (student card, disability certificate, age): it is asked for at the entrance.
• Believing that pass discounts apply online: the €7 discounts are valid only at the ticket office, for the general visit.
• Planning three Gaudí visits with no margin between slots.

Casa Batlló in brief: a little history

The house was built in the late 19th century and then entirely transformed by Antoni Gaudí between 1904 and 1906, at the request of the textile industrialist Josep Batlló. Gaudí kept the existing structure but redesigned the façade, the noble floor, the light well and the roof.

The façade combines Montjuïc stone, glass and crushed ceramic (trencadís); the balconies evoke masks or skulls, hence the nickname « house of bones ». The roof is often read as the back of a dragon slain by the cross of Saint George, patron saint of Catalonia. The house is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, together with other works by Gaudí.

Checklist before your visit

• Dated ticket bought on casabatllo.es (or at the ticket office), with a package suited to your preferred time.
• Proof for a discount (age, student card, disability).
• Headphones for the Gaudí App audio guide.
• A margin of at least 1 hour between Casa Batlló and another Gaudí slot.
• In summer: a water bottle for the roof.

What to see nearby

Casa Batlló is part of the « Manzana de la Discordia » (Block of Discord), with Casa Amatller and Casa Lleó Morera. La Pedrera (Casa Milà) is a little higher up the Passeig de Gràcia.
