From last week of October to mid-February: 08:30h - 17:30h. From mid-February to the end of March: 08:30h. - 18:00h. From end of March to last Sunday of April: 08:00h - 19:30h. From last week of April to penultimate Sunday of August: 07:30h - 20:30h. From last week of August to last Friday of October: 08:00h - 19:30h. To be sure of the schedules during the transition months, we suggest you check them on the park's website. You have 30 minutes after the time set on your ticket to enter the site. Once you are inside the restricted area, you can take as long as you like.

How to get there: The Bus Güell is the quickest and easiest way to reach the park, and it's included with your entrance ticket. This shuttle service departs from the Alfons X metro station (L4) and takes just 15 minutes to arrive at the park. 

Points of interest: The entrance and Porter's lodge pavilions, the Laundry Room Portico, the Dragon Stairway, the Hypostyle Room, and the Greek Theatre (also known as Nature Square) are must-see spaces.

Tourist info: It’s recommended to download or print the park map from the official Park Güell website to avoid getting lost and make the most of your visit. You can also download a free app from the website that includes audio guides, photos, and an interactive map to enhance your experience.

Keep in mind: In the restricted area, the number of daily visitors is limited. In high season (spring and summer), tickets are sold out easily. We recommend you to purchase them in advance on the official website of the park, but you must be sure when you will make the visit: once purchased, they cannot be canceled or changed dates. Be punctual and careful also with the time indicated on your ticket. After half an hour, you will not be authorized to enter.

Our tip: The Park's center is a large square, called Plaça de la Natura, Plaza de la Naturaleza or Natura Square, with a large bench that runs along its perimeter, 110 m long. It is shaped like a long snake and is decorated with colorful mosaics. From here you have good views over Barcelona but even better ones from a promontory called 'Calvario', which is the highest place in the park.

Price: Park Güell has 2 different areas: the restricted area, which is the monumental core and requires the purchase of a ticket, and the free access area, open to all visitors at no charge. General ticket: €10. Children (0 - 6 years old): free. Children (7 to 12 years old): €7. Senior (+ 65 years old): €7. Admission + guided tour (languages available: English, French, Spanish, Catalan): General ticket: €22. Children (0 - 6 years old): free. Children (7 - 12 years old): €19. Senior (+ 65 years old): €19. All ticktes include the Bus Güell.
