Casa Batlló tickets Barcelona 2027: visiting Gaudí's house

Casa Batlló: from middle-class building to Gaudí icon

The original building was put up in 1877 by the architect Emilio Sala Cortés. In 1903 it was bought by the textile industrialist Josep Batlló, who commissioned Antoni Gaudí to renovate it; rather than knock it down, the architect reinvented it entirely between 1904 and 1906. He added floors, redesigned the façade, transformed the inner courtyard and crowned the whole thing with a roof that still astonishes visitors today.

The Casa Batlló renovation in numbers

• The building's height grew from about 21 to 32 metres.
• The built floor area rose from around 3,100 to 4,300 square metres.
• The façade features trencadís of glass and ceramics and iron balconies shaped like masquerade masks.

Casa Batlló today

In 1993 the Bernat family acquired the building, restored it and opened it to the public. Since 2005 it has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage List, within the Works of Antoni Gaudí. It is popularly known as the House of Bones because of the columns on the ground floor, and many see in its roof the legend of Saint George and the dragon, Catalonia's patron saint.

What you see at Casa Batlló with the standard ticket

The route climbs floor by floor from the entrance hall to the rooftop. The standard ticket includes a handheld digital guide that explains each space with images and reconstructions.

The Casa Batlló noble floor

This was the Batlló family's home. The great window overlooking Passeig de Gràcia, the curving wooden doors and the mushroom-shaped fireplace show Gaudí's attention to light, ventilation and ergonomics, long before those words became fashionable.

The light well

Lined with tiles that shade from deep blue at the top to white at the bottom, it spreads light evenly through the whole building. The windows also change size with height: a simple yet brilliant trick.

Casa Batlló loft and rooftop

The loft, once a service area, is made up of white catenary arches that recall an animal's ribcage. Above, the rooftop reveals the dragon's back covered in ceramic scales, the tower with its four-armed cross and the clusters of decorated chimneys.

Immersive experiences at Casa Batlló

The route includes digital spaces: the Gaudí Cube, a cube-shaped room of LED screens, and the Gaudí Dome, a dome of screens that surrounds visitors with images inspired by nature and Gaudí's world. They are a striking addition, especially for those travelling with children or teenagers.

Casa Batlló ticket types and prices

The house offers several options covering the same building but differing in timing, extras and pace. The benchmark is the standard ticket, also called the general visit.

The standard ticket starts at €29 when bought online, with prices varying by day of the week and season (indicative, checked October 2026). Children under 12 enter free when accompanied by an adult. The final price for your date appears when you check availability.

Which Casa Batlló ticket to choose

If it is your first time, the standard ticket covers all the essentials. Early access is worth it in summer and at weekends, when the rooms fill up; the night visit lets you see the façade lit up and pair it with dinner in the Eixample.

Casa Batlló opening hours and the best times to go

The house opens every day with long hours that generally run from early morning until well into the evening, varying with the season and events. Check the exact slot for your day when you book.

Morning or evening at Casa Batlló

First thing in the morning the route flows more smoothly, and natural light filters gently through the noble floor window and the light well. Mid-morning and early-afternoon slots draw the most visitors. At dusk the atmosphere changes completely: the illuminated façade on Passeig de Gràcia is one of the loveliest sights in the city.

How long a Casa Batlló visit takes

Allow around an hour and a quarter for the full route at an easy pace. If you linger in the immersive rooms or on the rooftop taking photos, it can take a little longer.

How to get to Casa Batlló

The house is at number 43 Passeig de Gràcia, on the stretch known as the Block of Discord, between Carrer d'Aragó and Carrer del Consell de Cent, in the heart of the Eixample.

By metro to Casa Batlló

Passeig de Gràcia station, served by lines L2, L3 and L4, is a couple of minutes' walk away. Commuter trains also stop at Passeig de Gràcia station, which is handy if you are arriving from the airport or Sants station.

On foot from Plaça de Catalunya

From Plaça de Catalunya it is simply a five-minute walk up Passeig de Gràcia. The stroll is worthwhile in itself: shops, modernista façades and the bench-lampposts designed by Pere Falqués.

Practical tips for your Casa Batlló visit

Accessibility at Casa Batlló

The building has lifts and much of the route can be done with reduced mobility; it is a good idea to mention this on arrival so staff can guide you along the best itinerary. Pregnant visitors can also use the lifts.

Casa Batlló with babies and children

Children under 12 go free. Baby carriers are available for the youngest, and pushchairs are stored during the visit, as the route includes narrow stairs in places.

• Bring your own headphones if you prefer to listen to the content more comfortably.
• Travel light: this is a residential building, with narrow corridors and stairs.
• Photos are allowed for personal use; follow the instructions in the immersive rooms.
• Be wary of anyone asking for a bank transfer for last-minute tickets.

Around Casa Batlló: the Block of Discord and more

The house shares its block with two other modernista gems: Casa Amatller, by Josep Puig i Cadafalch, and Casa Lleó Morera, by Lluís Domènech i Montaner. The nickname Block of Discord comes precisely from the clash of styles between the three great architects of Catalan modernisme.

From Casa Batlló to La Pedrera

A few minutes further up Passeig de Gràcia you reach La Pedrera, Gaudí's other house on the avenue. Seeing both on the same day lets you compare the exuberant renovation of Casa Batlló with the more sculptural, purpose-built Casa Milà.

Ideas to round off the day

• Pair Casa Batlló in the morning with the Sagrada Família in the afternoon, just a few metro stops away.
• Take metro L3 up to Lesseps to visit Park Güell.
• End the day at the Palau de la Música Catalana, in La Ribera, within walking distance.

Visiting Casa Batlló in 2027

The house welcomes visitors all year round, but demand rises at Easter, on bank holiday weekends, in summer and around the Mercè festival in September. In December, Passeig de Gràcia is decked out with Christmas lights, a good reason to choose an evening slot.

Quiet season at Casa Batlló

Between January and March and in November it is usually easier to find slots at a good time, and on weekdays standard ticket prices tend to be a little lower than at weekends. If your trip coincides with a major concert or sporting event in the city, book further ahead.
