Spain
During your visit to Park Güell, you’ll also pass by the Gaudí House Museum, the former residence of Antoni Gaudí and now a museum showcasing his personal life, furniture designs, and original objects. While the museum is located inside the park, it is a separate attraction and not included in the tour or ticket price. Our expert guide will provide a detailed explanation from the outside, sharing insights about Gaudí’s life, his time living in the house, and its architectural significance. This allows you to appreciate the museum’s value and decide if you’d like to return later for a full visit on your own. The guided tour continues through the rest of Park Güell, ensuring you get the full experience of Gaudí’s visionary work while respecting the museum’s independent access.
