The Batlló family, another of the great Catalan bourgeoisie of Gaudí's time, commissioned the architect to renovate an old building in Passeig de Gràcia and thus was born what we know today as Casa Batlló.

Casa Batlló is a must-see that you can't miss. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is located in one of the most important and luxurious avenues of the capital, the Paseig de Gràcia. So not only is it incredible in itself, but it is also located in an environment that goes with it.

Recommended if... You want to live a complete experience, but at the same time different and out of the ordinary.

When it comes to going to either of the two residential buildings designed by Gaudi, whether it is Casa Batllo or La Pedrera, the time you choose on your ticket makes the difference between a memorable experience and a visit to a more crowded attraction.

By booking these tickets to Casa Batllo, you can enter early in the morning and tour it quietly with an audio guide narration. The great advantage of these tickets is that you avoid the hustle and bustle of tourists, enjoying the rooms of the building at your own pace and with natural light.

Casa Batlló is full of small details and plastic forms designed by Gaudí in his iconic style, and you can even find some furniture designed by the architect. During your visit, you can see the beautiful inner courtyard and -if you choose the Gold option of these tickets- go up to the rooftop to observe Passeig de Gràcia from above.

For a complete experience at this must-see Barcelona landmark, it's best to book a VIP ticket for Casa Batlló. With this pass you will not only have priority access without queues to Gaudí's monument, but you will also be able to tour the Dragon Roof, the Batlló's private lounge and also the immersive rooms Gaudí Cube and Gaudí Dôme.

In addition, the augmented reality audio guide will allow you to immerse yourself in the Gaudí universe and the genius of the architect. Its immersive projections and the 10D experience created with artificial intelligence will make your visit to Casa Batlló an unforgettable memory of your trip to Barcelona.

Visiting Casa Batlló without going to La Pedrera is like going to Figueras and not entering the Dalí Museum. Therefore, combining two of Barcelona' s most important buildings in one visit makes this half-day tour a very interesting experience.

At La Pedrera you will see its residences, corridors, rooftop and patio, as well as the museum dedicated to Gaudí. And then Casa Batlló, located in what is known as the Block of Discord because you can find buildings by other modernist artists such as Casa Amatller by Josep Puig i Cadafalch or Casa Lleó Morera, the work of Lluís Domènech i Montaner.

Casa Batlló is different from La Pedrera in the sense that it is not a building designed and built by Gaudí, but a remodeling of an existing building in which the architect added the facade, modified the inner courtyard, created its iconic rooftop and included all kinds of plastic decorations.

When you book your ticket to Casa Batlló you will receive a confirmation email that you can print or show directly at the ticket office.

With tickets to Casa Batlló is the same as with La Pedrera, it is essential to buy them in advance to avoid waiting not one, but two queues to buy your tickets at the box office and then enter the building.

Both the Early Bird ticket and the VIP ticket and the combined ticket for Casa Batlló and La Pedrera that I recommend above, you have access without queues, something that is definitely worth it to get more out of your trip without unnecessary waiting. Also, if you go during the week, you are assured much less people in any of the two attractions.

How to get to Casa Batlló

Casa Batlló is located at Passeig de Gràcia, 43, a few numbers away from La Pedrera. To get there by metro, the best way is to go to Passeig de Gràcia station on lines 2, 3 and 4, take the RENFE to Passeig de Gràcia or go by buses 7, 22, 24, H10 and V15.

Days and opening hours of Casa Batlló

Casa Batlló is open from Wednesday to Sunday from 10:00 to 17:00, and the last entry time is at 16:00.

A typical visit to Casa Batlló lasts about an hour, although I recommend that you allow at least half an hour more to explore it at your leisure and stop on the roof to marvel at its structures and decorations.

Where to eat near Casa Batlló

As in my guide to La Pedrera, these are what I think are the two best restaurants in the Eixample area:

• El Principal de l'Eixample, a restaurant with an interior courtyard to fall in love with and a market cuisine with typically Catalan dishes with a modern twist. It won't be cheap, but rather than pay a fortune in a restaurant for tourists, I wouldn't think twice.
• La Pepita, a place for tapas and sandwiches but very well presented and elaborated, perfect if you do not want to spend so much money on a meal with cutlery and prefer to snack and continue exploring Barcelona.

Casa Batlló has an impressive modernist-era elevator that holds a travel hack inside: if you start your visit by taking it up to the rooftop and then tour the house from top to bottom, you will have the rooftop all to yourself for a while and you will also encounter far fewer tourists during your tour.

Inside Casa Batlló there is a gift and souvenir store but it always tends to have a rather long queue and overpriced prices. In my opinion, it's not worth wasting time of your trip to Barcelona to go inside the store, as you can find most of the prints in other stores.

Like La Pedrera, Casa Batlló also offers night tours and rooftop concerts on certain nights of the year. Tickets are a little hard to get as they won't always coincide with your travel dates, but it might be worth it.

What to see inside Casa Batlló

You should keep an eye open for the most photogenic sites in Casa Batlló. If you're on the hunt for the corners that are going to look the best on your Instagram feed, take note:

• The rooftop: the textures of the marbles and the sinuous dragon-tail shapes of Casa Batlló's rooftop are quite a marvel.
• The interior courtyard: the bluish tones of its cladding are perfect for a blue-centric feed.
• The living room on the main floor: whether for its diaphanous space or the whirlpool from which the ceiling chandelier hangs, you'll find plenty of details to take pictures of.
• The attic: its beautiful pure white arches are a fantasy for the eye and for the lens of your cell phone.
