This article explains everything you need to know before buying Gaudi House Museum tickets.

How to reach Gaudi House

Park Guell has two parts – the paid Park Guell Monumental Zone and the free-to-enter rest of the Park.

The Gaudi House is in the free access area.

If you are in Park Guell, you can easily walk to the Gaudi house. Get Directions

If you are in the city center, you have three choices – Taxi, Bus, and Metro.

By Taxi

Since services like Uber, Lyft, etc., aren’t available in Barcelona, you must hire a local taxi.

Some popular taxi services are Barna Taxi (933222222), Radio Taxi ‘033’ (933033033), Fono-Taxi (933001100).

You don’t always have to dial for them.

If you see a black and yellow taxi on the road with a green light on the roof, you can hail them.

The minimum fare of a taxi hailed on the street is 2.15 Euros, which is what the meter should say when you start your trip.

By Bus

If you want to reach Gaudi’s house in Barcelona by bus, you have two options.

Bus numbers 24 and 92 can get you to the Carretera del Carmel entrance of Park Guell.

While bus numbers 32 and H6 can drop you at the Carrer d’Olot entrance of Park Guell.

Once you get down, ask anyone for directions or fire your Google Map.

If you are using the Barcelona hop on hop off sightseeing bus to reach Gaudi Museum, get down at the ‘Park Guell’ stop.

By Metro

If you prefer the subway, you can board any Line 3 train and get down either at Vallcarca or Lesseps station.

Vallcarca station closest to Parc Guell, and you can’t miss the signs of the attraction. 

However, the walk is steep and can be daunting for some visitors. 

You can use outdoor escalators in some stretches, but it is still hard work, especially in the summer.

Gaudi House Museum is a kilometer and half away from the Lesseps subway station.

Even though the walk from Lesseps is also uphill, it is better than the walk from Vallcarca.

You will find signs pointing you in the right direction all along this 25 minutes’ walk to the Gaudi house.

History of Gaudi Museum

Gaudi house was a model house to be shown to prospective buyers of houses in Park Guell.

Back then, Park Guell was supposed to be a residential complex.

However, when not many buyers came to buy houses in the fancy residential complex, they converted it into a park.

Gaudi House was designed by Francesc d’Assís Berenguer i Mestres, Gaudí’s friend and right-hand-man.

Since his friend wasn’t a professional architect, Gaudi had to sign for the designs.

In 1963 – many years after Gaudí’s death, the house opened to the public as Gaudi House Museum.

It is also known as Casa Museu Gaudi.

This house gains significance because it was here that Gaudi designed some of his most famous works, such as Casa Mila, Park Guell, and the yet-to-be-completed Sagrada Família.
