The beautiful Park Guell is like nothing else! Antonio Gaudi's great creation is rightfully a symbol of Barcelona. The park is beautiful at any time of the year. I was in February: beautiful fresh air, blooming mimosa trees, cheerful green parrots! But the pearls, of course, are amazing buildings, benches, alleys, statues. You're just amazed at the architect's imagination.
It is better to take tickets in advance, keep in mind that there are no ticket offices at the entrance. And you can only pay for admission by purchasing a ticket online. And another tip: you can walk to the park through different streets. Some streets have escalators, but it is necessary to clarify whether they work. Since if they don't work, then climbing stairs will be steep enough, which can be difficult for the elderly and parents with strollers.
Tickets are sold through the website for a specific day and time.
The park itself is very beautiful, located on a mountain, so the views of Barcelona are simply amazing.
There are a lot of tourist groups at the entrance and a feeling of a crowd is created, but the further you go, the fewer people there are.
Green parrots live in the park, my daughter was more delighted with them than with Gaudi's buildings))
I definitely recommend you to visit if you are in Barcelona.
You should definitely visit Park Guell, see the house where the great Antonio Gaudi lived, be impressed by its architecture, mosaic, sculpture. An incredibly comfortable curved bench, which pleasantly surprised me. But the famous Gaudi lizard did not make the expected impression...

A beautiful place for walking, one of the excellent creations of the most talented Antonio Gaudi. The park is located on a hill, offering a large-scale view of majestic Barcelona. Parrots live in the trees, which fascinate with their unobtrusive singing. The longest ornate bench, decorated with mosaic patterns, is located here. On the territory of the park, at the entrance, there are two "gingerbread" administrative houses, as if from a fairy tale. Stone columns - "bird's nests" create their own flavor in the overall picture of Park Guell.
The only negative for me is the large number of visitors, which makes it impossible to take beautiful photos without the presence of strangers on them.
I recommend visiting this place, as well as all Gaudi's architectural creations.

Barcelona. The most unusual and very interesting, colorful park. The park of the famous and brilliant architect Antonio Gaudi. The park is surrounded by greenery. Alleys of a very bizarre shape are called bird's nests. And there is also a beautiful lizard bench on the square and it is made of expensive porcelain glass. It's all colorful and bright. Beautiful houses are like gingerbread inside and out. There is a roof at the house in the shape of an inverted coffee cup. Take a walk there not with an excursion, but on your own
This park is a must when visiting Barcelona. It is better if you are with a guide, or a mobile audio guide from mobile applications. Then you will learn a lot of interesting things. For example, the fact that the famous bench is decorated with simple construction debris, but there are enough Masonic symbols there, and Gaudi forced the workers to sit on the still damp cement so that the bends of the bench take the perfect shape of a person's back.…
There are no free zones and entrances, neither 8 am nor late at night. Specially arrived at 07.50, walked around the perimeter of the park, a live person is on duty at each secondary entrance and does not let tourists, only local ones, according to documents. At 08:40, there was already a queue of about 50 people at the main entrance. Almost everything with online tickets, I bought tickets at the vending machine - that's another adventure! Buy tickets online!
A stunning park. You can spend the whole day. Admire Gaudi's creation, enjoy a walk along the paths; in our case, in February, admire the mimosa; listen to street musicians; look for your hotel on the panorama of the whole city opening from above.
Amazing park, architecture, gardens. I recommend it for a visit. The ticket must be purchased in advance on the website. There are restrictions on the number of visitors. Therefore, purchase tickets in advance.
There is a large park, I advise you to buy tickets online. There are many interesting places to visit. Clean toilets and friendly staff
Keep in mind that the park is far enough from the city center, it is quite difficult to go uphill in the heat
In a word, I liked it. I'm not an architectural critic. But everything is very beautiful, fascinating and I want to touch it all with my own hands. But the presence of non-tourists of different nationalities with strange habits. If you fight back, they are very surprised...
I love this park. Very beautiful. The most exciting thing is to come to the very opening when there are almost no people, then you can safely walk and enjoy the beauty.
An interesting place. But it's a long way from the center. You need to buy tickets in advance and not be late. You can get there by taxi. As everywhere , crowds of tourists…
A beautiful park! During the season, and especially on weekends, tickets are sold out before 11 a.m. I advise you to get there the day before and buy a ticket. Be sure to set a minimum of 3 hours to visit the park. It's huge! And very beautiful! Naturally, there is a food area inside, but if you want to save a little money, take a snack with you. It won't be superfluous.
Park Guell is making a street escalator this year, and it's a decent way to go uphill.there are crowds in the park, queues, October in Gaudi's house it is necessary to defend the queue, but I did not, I know what a genius is, a living Genius....!!!!!

The place is incredibly beautiful and unusual. Park Guell is something that must be visited without fail. By the way, you can take an escalator from the metro to the mountain.

I did not like the mountains, trails, several buildings, if you are not a big fan of Gaudi, then this place can only be visited as part of a sightseeing tour of Barcelona
You can't help but like this park, the most ideal place for perfectionists. Some smooth lines, as in nature, there are no straight lines at all. It's impressive, like everything created by Gaudi. It's worth coming here, maybe even more than once. Although the works of A. Gaudi can be admired in many corners of Barcelona. And be sure to visit Reus, the birthplace of the genius. And the bright pieces of the mosaic, sparkling in the sun, inspire creativity.
I like to walk in parks. So Park Guell was to your liking. Barcelona is proud of Gaudi's creations. The park in the upper part of Barcelona was created by Antonio Gaudi in 1900-1914. The land for the park was provided by Count Guell, an entrepreneur and friend of the architect.
It is noteworthy that initially Guell planned to create a high-class garden town on this site, but the project could not be implemented due to a lack of interest in villas from buyers.
So, the miscalculation of entrepreneur Guell gave the whole world a gorgeous park, which Gaudi realized on this land.
Now everyone can enjoy the hall of one hundred columns, mosaic salamander, gingerbread houses,
A curved bench, a grand staircase.
Since 1984, the park has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site
If you are in Barcelona. then be sure to visit Pak Guel . Antonio Gaudi is excellent as always and never ceases to amaze. Guell Park is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
There are a lot of people, the expositions are so-so, the most interesting is gingerbread houses
I liked the free part of the park with green spaces much more
We were at the end of March. There is snow in the Moscow region - and here flowers, tangerines, shorts. We went from top to bottom. That's it. We met Russians. They were launched in batches. The sun, the mosaic, the warmth - good impressions remained. I will not recommend it - and you will come without it. It's worth it. There are a lot of photos. In Spain, I like parrots in the tops of pine trees. And tangerines, oranges, pomegranates in cities. And they also watched as the guy proposed to the girl. He gave her a diamond ring. The stone shone well in the sun. The girl agreed. They communicated in English. In general, there is a lot to see there😄😄
another famous creation of Gaudi. The park is very beautiful, gingerbread houses at the entrance, a curving bench, many places where you can take memorable photos
Tickets were booked in advance, we got to the park without any problems. Lots of greenery, a beautiful grand staircase, cozy paths and paths, delightful fairy-tale houses, the famous winding Gaudi bench, mosaic decoration - everything is beautiful and unusual! There are sooo many visitors, so it's noisy, dusty, and hectic...
Do not listen to those who write that you need tickets and blablabla, go to the hill on the right and climb the hill, then go along it to the left and an awesome view of the city opens, go through and start going down, eventually you just get into the park, there are no fences there. When we saw the paid entrance, we just decided to look at it from above and eventually got into the park for free =) But don't spread too much, otherwise the aisles will be closed) And it's best when it gets dark, it's the most beautiful
A 17-hectare plot of land purchased by a Guelam artisan was initially planned for the construction of luxury housing. The plans changed and the territory was "given" to architect Gaudi to embody his creative potential. Now it is one of the main attractions of Barcelona, which is visited by a large number of tourists. There is no parking nearby. My gift for you: arrive early in the morning, at about 7 a.m., the park will be closed, go to the right of the entrance along the fence and you will find an open gate, enter and you will be the first who can take wonderful photos with the creations of the great Gaudi with the first rays of the sun! There will only be you in the photo, without a crowd of tourists in the background. And you won't have to pay for the entrance, after opening, incoming users pay, those who entered earlier are not kicked out and are not treated. Have a nice stay!
This park is a creation of Gaudi, one of the iconic places of Barcelona. Very beautiful and unusual. The entrance to the area where the "Gingerbread houses" are paid, we didn't get there, but you can partially see them from the street at the exit of the park. Tickets must be purchased in advance online.
The park is wonderful! We were in the free part, we came from above. The park is large, there are many locations for photos, a beautiful view of the city. As for the paid part, most of it is under renovation at any time of the year.
This park is located on the mountainside. There is a large free part, but there is also a paid one with the famous colored snake-shaped bench. They did not get into the paid part, because there were no tickets for the current day. And since April is still not a seasonal month, half of this bench was under restoration, but by the summer they promised that all repairs would be completed. Lots of greenery, very original plants. In general, it's worth visiting once.
To be honest, he didn't make an impression on me.
There is a huge queue, but this does not characterize the park in any way.
Of course, the two Gaudi buildings in front of the main entrance are very beautiful, but I frankly did not like the rest; the hefty stones on the gallery ceiling, designed to embody natural origin, look at least unsafe.
It's just an amazing place. One of the most memorable in Barcelona. Everything is very beautiful, although there are small flaws, but the beauty of the park overshadows everything. Definitely 5
A hyped attraction. Overrated. It's beautiful, but there are crowds of people..it is impossible to watch all this calmly. There is a crowd of people taking selfies/taking pictures in a small square. Beautiful but overrated
