A private visit to Casa Batlló before it opens to the public, including breakfast at Casa Amatller

Enter the Casa Batlló before it opens to the public, with a private guide, and then go have breakfast at the house next door. Being the first in the morning completely changes the experience: the photos come out without anyone in the background, which is impossible the rest of the day. It starts in the Gaudí Dôme, the room with over a thousand screens that projects the natural forms from which Gaudí drew his ideas. Then, the guide takes you through the house: the stained glass windows, the mosaics, and the walls that don't have a single straight line. Upstairs is the rooftop, with the dragon's spine and the chimneys, and Barcelona all around. Breakfast is then enjoyed at the Casa Amatller, the house that once belonged to a chocolatier: fresh pastries and a cup of chocolate. The meeting point is in front of the Casa Loewe, at Passeig de Gràcia 35, fifteen minutes before the scheduled time: the Casa Batlló is strict about entry times. A note: all sales are final, and there are no refunds if you cancel.
