Barcelona casa batllo tours, activities and tickets

Experience an augmented reality on a Casa Batlló tour. The whimsical and mysterious architecture of Antoni Gaudí’s Casa Batlló delights everyone who visits, both young and old. The colorful mosaics, oddly shaped windows, and dragon-scale roof transports visitors into a real-life fairytale. Gaudí’s genius creativity and penchant for rule-breaking is most evident on the roof top. An oft-repeated theory about the peculiar roof is that it represents the back of a dragon. And, the turret symbolizes the lance of St. George, thrusted into the dragon’s back. Regardless of whether you believe that explanation, UNESCO recognized the building with a dragon-scale roof as a World Heritage Site. Casa Batlló’s unique appearance commands the attention of all passersby; so, pick up a Casa Batlló ticket and have your reality augmented for a couple hours!

Getting there
With several different transportation options offered in Barcelona, you should reach Casa Battló rather easily.
