Antoni Gaudi, the architect of Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, Casa Batllo, Casa Mila, etc., used to stay in what is now called the Gaudi House Museum.
Gaudi lived in this house from 1906 to 1925, and today, it houses objects and furniture he designed and other artifacts he used.
Since the Museum is inside Park Guell, visitors to the park tend to add this attraction to their day’s itinerary.

Is the Gaudi Museum worth it?
To realize the worth of the Gaudi House Museum, you must first know about him and his work.
That’s why we recommend visiting Park Guell and Sagrada Familia first and then the museum.
Once you have seen what amazing things architect Gaudi was capable of and then visited his house, you will understand its importance.
In short, the Museum is worth it.
But for you to see and understand its worth, you must first understand Gaudi himself.
How to reach

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, which is what the meter should say when you start your trip.
By Bus
You have two options if you want to reach Gaudi’s house in Barcelona by bus.
Bus numbers 24 and 92 can get you to the Carretera del Carmel entrance of Park Guell.
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 use Google Maps.
If you use the Barcelona hop-on, hop-off sightseeing bus to reach the 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 is 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 1.5 km (.9 miles) from the Lesseps subway station.
Even though the walk from Lesseps is also uphill, it is better than the walk from Vallcarca.
Signs pointing in the right direction will be posted throughout this 25-minute walk to the Gaudi house.
