This website is written by the editorial team of Gaudí Museum, and is edited by Culturae Heritage Services srls, a company based in Florence. We have no relationship with the institutions that manage Gaudí's works, nor with the Construction Committee of the Temple, nor with the Barcelona City Council. When we write that an entry costs 26 €, it is because we have gone to check it ourselves, not because someone has told us.
Once ticket booths and no museums
There is no single "Gaudí Museum." Instead, there are eleven of his buildings open to the public, and each one is owned and managed by a different entity: a construction company that has been building a basilica for a century, two city councils, a bank, and a handful of private foundations. Each entity independently sets its own prices, opening hours, and ticket sales policies. Two of them don't even publish their admission fees.
That's where this website comes from. The eleven official websites are very good, but each one only knows about its own: none can tell you that the Palau Güell costs €15 and the Jardins Artigas costs €5.50, nor that the same ticket for the Park Güell is sold for €18, €21, and €29.99, depending on who sells it to you. Putting those figures together is almost all we do.
What we check, and what we don't publish
We check the official website of each monument for prices and opening hours, and we note the date we visited. This date is included with the information. It's not just a bureaucratic detail; prices can increase without any prior notice, and a price without a date is impossible to verify – neither can you verify it for us, nor can we verify it against the information provided by someone else previously.
What we don't publish is availability. The exact number of remaining spots for next Thursday is only accurate for a few hours, and this website is generated once and remains static until the next update. We prefer to tell you which time slots for the Sagrada Família tend to sell out in August, which is a pattern that holds for months, rather than an exact number that will be incorrect tomorrow.
Five things that almost everyone pronounces incorrectly
A lot of misinformation circulates about Gaudí, and it's rarely invented; it's usually copied. A piece of information jumps from one blog to another, larger one, then to a printed guide, and by the fourth jump, no one remembers where it originated. These five pieces of information even appear on posters from travel agencies.
| Repeated items | What is included |
|---|---|
| "The Sagrada Família Cathedral" | It is an expiatory temple and, since November 7, 2010, a minor basilica. The cathedral of Barcelona is that of Santa Creu i Santa Eulàlia, located in the Gothic Quarter. |
| "The Sagrada Familia is a World Heritage Site." | The crypt and the facade of the Nativity are the parts that Gaudí built. Everything constructed after 1926 falls outside the inscribed perimeter, including the tower of Jesus Christ. |
| "The construction work began in 1883." | The cornerstone was laid on March 19, 1882, with a neo-Gothic design by another architect. The year 1883 marks Gaudí's arrival. |
| "Saint Gaudí," "the architect of God." | He been declared venerable since April 14, 2025, which is the first step in the process. To be beatified, a recognized miracle is required; to be declared a saint, a second one is needed. The nickname is just something the newspapers came up with. |
| "Entry to Park Güell costs 18 euros." | The park is public and free to enter. However, there is a fee of 18 euros to access the monumental area, which includes the salamander staircase, the hypostyle hall, the Nature Plaza, and the pavilions. |
How to pay
We charge a commission when someone books through a link provided by us. You pay the same price: the commission is deducted from the operator's share, not from your own pocket.
That leaves an obvious temptation, which is to always push towards the "book" button. Our way of avoiding this is to put the official price next to our price on all listings, and to state when buying here doesn't offer any benefit. The Palau Güell costs €15 on this website and €15 at its ticket office, the Torre Bellesguard is the same, and we state this for both.
The case we like to cite the most is the Casa Botines in León, which does not sell tickets through intermediaries. Its website here doesn't earn a single penny, and it never will. It remains online because it's a Gaudí work that can be visited, and that's the criterion – the same reason why the website for El Camino de Gaudí exists, showcasing the works he built outside of Catalonia.
What we don't know
There are gaps, and we prefer to name them. The Palau Güell does not publish how many people visit each year, so when we compare attendance figures, that column remains empty. The Casa Vicens does not publish an official price, and without that reference, the only honest thing we can do is state how much each channel charges and when we checked. We know that the Jardins Artigas received 44,135 visitors in 2024 because the consortium published that figure; for other sites, there are no comparable figures available.
Photos
Almost all of the images are from stock photo libraries with paid licenses. Some come from Wikimedia Commons with a Creative Commons license, and in those cases, the author and the license are displayed below the image. If we ever publish a retouched image or one generated by artificial intelligence, it will be clearly indicated with a visible label on the photo itself; we haven't done that yet.
If you find an error
Write to us, and we'll correct it. We're particularly interested in two things: prices that are no longer accurate and schedules that have changed, because those are the things that tend to become outdated the fastest. And if you've encountered a door that we've described differently, please let us know – that information is more valuable than anything we can find through our own research.
