Casa Vicens: Experience Catalan Modernism without the queues

Skip-the-line entry to Casa Vicens, the first major commission Antoni Gaudí received and the point where Catalan Modernisme begins. He built it as a summer house for Manuel Vicens i Montaner, and today it operates as a museum. What makes it interesting is that everything is already sketched out inside: the use of ceramics, the repeated geometry, the shapes copied from the plants in the garden. From this house, the movement spread across Europe. It is one of Gaudí's least crowded works, so you can explore it at leisure. A note on booking: you can cancel up until the time slot you selected.
