Palau Guell Entry Tickets

Yes. An audio guide in multiple languages is included with the standard Palau Guell admission ticket. It is delivered as an app on your own smartphone.

The app covers all floors of the building including the basement stables, all residential levels, the central hall, and the rooftop. It is available in Catalan, Spanish, English, French, German, Italian, Korean, Dutch, and further languages.

The Palau Guell holds open days on the first Sundays of every month, February 12 (Santa Eulalia), April 23 (Sant Jordi), the Night of Museums in May, September 11 (Catalan national holiday), and September 24 (La Merce patron saint day).

Free tickets for other open days become available four days in advance.

Most visitors and architectural historians single out two spaces as the most spectacular in the Palau Guell. The central hall is a six-storey space topped by a parabolic dome pierced with openings that flood the interior with natural light in patterns suggesting a starlit sky, the most ambitious interior volume in any of Gaudi's early works. The rooftop features 20 individual chimneys each clad in a different ceramic mosaic pattern, collectively forming one of the most inventive and joyful rooftop gardens in European architectural history.

No. Palau Guell tickets are non-refundable. If you are unable to attend on your booked date, the ticket cannot be exchanged, refunded, or transferred. This makes planning carefully around the building's closure days (non-holiday Mondays, 25 and 26 December, 1 and 6 January, and the last week of January) particularly important before purchasing. Always check the official calendar at palauguell.cat before booking.

The Palau Guell is located at Carrer Nou de la Rambla 3-5, one block from Las Ramblas in the El Raval district. The most convenient Metro connection is Liceu on Line 3 or Drassanes on Line 3, both a short walk from the building. Buses V13, 59, 91, and 120 also serve the area. The building is easily walkable from Las Ramblas, the Gothic Quarter, and El Born, making it ideal to combine with a morning or afternoon in any of these adjacent neighbourhoods.

The Palau Guell is a UNESCO World Heritage palace designed by Antoni Gaudi and built between 1886 and 1890 at Carrer Nou de la Rambla 3-5 near Las Ramblas in Barcelona. Commissioned by the industrialist Eusebi Guell as a private city residence, it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984. It is notable for its six-storey parabolic dome central hall, its spiral basement stable ramp, and its rooftop of 20 uniquely decorated mosaic chimneys.
