Sagrada Família, Park Güell, Casa Batlló and Casa Milà: what each Gaudí site is

The short answer

Barcelona's Sagrada Família, Park Güell, Casa Batlló and Casa Milà are four different kinds of place, and each sells its own tickets under its own rules. The Sagrada Família is a basilica still under construction. Park Güell is a park with a ticketed monumental area. Casa Batlló and Casa Milà, which its own site calls La Pedrera, are houses.

XTOUR knows of no single ticket covering all four. Each site's own pages set its rules on names, changes and refunds, and XTOUR does not publish prices or opening hours.

The Sagrada Família: a basilica still being built

The Sagrada Família is built by the Junta Constructora del Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família, which describes itself as a private, non-profit, autonomous pious foundation whose purpose is to build, preserve and restore the Expiatory Temple founded by Josep Maria Bocabella and designed by Antoni Gaudí.[1] According to the basilica's own report on the papal visit of June 2026, Benedict XVI consecrated the temple and granted it the status of a minor basilica in November 2010.[4] Its conditions of sale say the Junta Constructora is only responsible for tickets bought through its own website, sagradafamilia.org. As a general rule, the same conditions say, tickets cannot be changed or returned once bought, with exceptions set out there.[2]

The towers are an optional extra. According to the Sagrada Família's tower page, visitors choose a tower on either the Nativity or the Passion façade, take the lifts up and walk down, and the tower is not accessible for people with reduced mobility; the same page sets age limits for children and says no refund is given if the towers are closed.[3]

Construction is still going on. The basilica reports that Pope Leo XIV blessed its central tower, the tower of Jesus Christ, on 10 June 2026, the hundredth anniversary of Gaudí's death, and gives the tower's height as 172.5 metres.[4] In a September 2026 update on the works, the basilica's head architect said the exterior of that tower is complete, that work has moved to its interior and will then turn to installing a lift, and that construction is also concentrating on the Glory façade and the Chapel of the Assumption.[5] XTOUR does not say what visitors can see of the new tower or when its interior will open.

Park Güell: a park with a ticketed monumental area

Park Güell's official site describes two areas: a monumental area of 12 hectares, declared a World Heritage Site, and an adjacent woodland of 8 more hectares. The same page says access has been regulated since 2013 to prevent overcrowding, that the regulation limits visitor numbers in the monumental area, and that, apart from residents with a free pass, all visitors must buy a ticket.[6] The park's FAQ, by contrast, gives the park's total surface as 12 hectares, so the two pages describe its size differently.[7]

According to Park Güell's FAQ, buying online in advance is strongly recommended, the ticket carries a name that must match the holder's national identity document, and an individual booking cannot be cancelled, though its date and time can be changed up to one day before the visit if there is space.[7] The park's access regulations say its website belongs to Barcelona de Serveis Municipals (BSM), and that the park takes no responsibility for tickets bought outside its official distribution points.[8]

Casa Batlló and Casa Milà: two houses, two ticket systems

Casa Batlló's official site gives its address as Passeig de Gràcia 43 and sells its visits online.[9] According to Casa Batlló's General Visit page, the visit is sold in four tiers, Blue, Silver, Gold and Platinum, that include different parts of the house: the main floor is in all four, the rooftop is not in the Blue tier, and the Batlló family's private residence is only in Gold and Platinum.[10]

Casa Milà presents itself online as La Pedrera, at lapedrera.com. Its ticket page lists several visit products covering the courtyards, apartment, attic and rooftop, including a guided night-time visit with a show, and combined tickets with other sites such as the Palau de la Música Catalana and the Sant Pau Art Nouveau Site.[11] Those two buildings, by Lluís Domènech i Montaner rather than Gaudí, have their own guide to the Palau de la Música and Sant Pau. XTOUR does not say who runs either house; read each site's own terms on changes and refunds before buying.

What the World Heritage listing covers

UNESCO lists Gaudí's buildings together as one property, now named the Works of Antoni Gaudí. The first listing, in 1984, covered Park Güell, Palau Güell and Casa Milà.[12] A 2005 decision extended it to the Nativity façade and crypt of the Sagrada Família, Casa Vicens, Casa Batlló and the crypt at the Colònia Güell.[13]

Two things follow. The listing covers part of the Sagrada Família, its Nativity façade and crypt, not the whole basilica.[13] And the listing is a designation over seven works, not a place in itself: XTOUR treats each building as its own place and does not treat "the Gaudí sites" as one site. The explainer on Catalan modernisme covers the architecture and the movement behind it.

The four at a glance

What XTOUR does not tell you

XTOUR does not publish prices, opening hours, entry windows or how far ahead tickets sell out for any of the four. It has no routing data, so it does not say how the sites connect or whether several fit into one day. It has not read accessibility statements for Casa Batlló, Casa Milà or Park Güell. And it does not treat Barcelona Cathedral as a Gaudí site: it is a different building, and XTOUR treats it as a separate place.
