Palau Güell: The Gaudí masterpiece that few people visit, now with an audio guide

A ticket to Palau Güell, the house Gaudí built between 1886 and 1890 for Eusebi Güell, the industrialist who financed much of his work. It has been on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 1984, along with six other works by the architect, yet it receives far fewer visitors than Park Güell or La Pedrera. That makes it the place where you can look at things calmly. Inside is what matters: how Gaudí handled light and space on a narrow plot in the old town, and how he resolved the central hall with its perforated dome. It is an early work, but the seed of everything that came afterward is already there. The ticket includes an audio guide, with a quick version and another designed for children. A note on booking: this ticket cannot be canceled.
