How to visit Park Güell in Barcelona, rules 2022
In this article I will tell you how to get to Park Güell in Barcelona, I will describe all the ways how to buy a ticket to the paid part of the park, which objects are located in the paid part, and which are in free, I will tell you whether it is worth paying for the entrance or you can look at the masterpieces of Gaudi from a distance and save money on tickets.
Park Güell is one of the most original parks in the world. And this is not surprising, because it was created by the genius of the Catalan modernist Gaudí himself. Like the Sagrada Familia, the park did not bring fame to its creator during his lifetime, but grateful descendants appreciated the masterpiece. It is currently the second most visited Gaudí work in Barcelona, after the Sagrada Familia.

Park Güell opening hours
The park is open all year round, every day, seven days a week from 9:30 to 19:30.
How to buy tickets for Park Güell in 2023
Tickets can be taken in different places, but it is highly recommended due to covid restrictions to take them on the Internet, without relying on the box office. I will give three options for buying tickets.
- In Russian, a ticket to Park Güell can be purchased on the Sputnik8 website, which includes travel on the Güell regular bus from the Alfons X metro station (line L4) to Park Güell (the trip takes 15 minutes), but there is no return. The bus ride is very pleasant, because the park is located on a mountain and from public transport stops it is more than 1 km to climb into it, the mountain is very steep.
- You can buy tickets in Russian on the GetYourGuide website. GetYourGuide guarantees a full refund if canceled up to 24 hours before the event.
- Tickets can be purchased in advance on the official website of Parc Güell in Barcelona. This can only be done in English. After purchasing tickets for site return, change of date and time is not allowed.
Tickets in any place are sold only for a specific date and time. Now, due to covid, the number of visitors to the park is limited to 1400 people per hour, so 9Buy 0005 in the high tourist season even before your trip to Barcelona, so that you definitely get a ticket. It is only important to remember that tickets for a specific date and time, at other times the ticket is not valid.
It is not necessary to print the ticket, you can show it on the smartphone screen.
You can enter the park within 30 minutes from the start of your session. For example, if your ticket is for 9-00, then you can enter the park from 9-00 to 9-30. You can stay in the park as long as you like, the duration of the visit is not limited.
How much are Park Güell tickets
The table shows the official park prices in euros for the 2023 season. Different ticket agencies may have their own surcharge, they take it for additional services – such as the possibility of returning a ticket or a bus to the entrance to the park.

Park Güell ticket offices
You can also buy a ticket right in the park, but there is a fair amount of queue and your time to visit the park can be 3-4 hours after buying a ticket, in the high season in a few days. Standing in line at 35°C in the sun itself is not the most pleasant pastime.

How to get to Park Güell
Park Güell stretches on the slope of Mount Carmel from the foot to the very top, which offers a beautiful view of the city and the sea on one side and Mount Tibidabo on the other side.
You can take the metro and take the green line L3 to the Vallcarca or Lesseps stations (1220 m to the main entrance to the park). Then you have to walk up the hill, other methods are not provided.
From the Vallcarca metro station, it takes about 15 minutes to walk to the park, there is an escalator on Baixada de la Glòria, since the uphill climb in this place is 25%. After the escalator, you can walk to the very top of the park, where a stone cross is installed, in this place it is already close, or go down to the entrance to the paid part of the park.
Particularly steep sections have escalators, like in our metro
In addition, buses pass by Park Güell
Bus no. H6 and no. there is also an escalator.
Bus number 24: from Plaça Catalunya (line 24-Paral lel/El Carmel) the bus will take the famous Passeig de Gracia to Carretera Carmel-Park Güell, this bus comes closest to the central entrance of the park.
Barselona Bus Turistic makes a stop next to the park, but from this stop you will have to walk a little up to the main entrance about 670 m. Barcelona tycoon Eusebi Güell purchased this building site. Here it was supposed to build luxurious houses for the bourgeoisie. At first, the infrastructure and a couple of sample houses were built, but no one wanted to buy plots here due to the remoteness of the place from the city center.
Therefore, Gaudi himself settled in one of the houses on the slopes of Mount Carmel. Now there is a museum in his house. Thus, it was an unsuccessful business project that did not bring profit to the investor.
The infrastructure of the unbuilt quarter became, in fact, the famous Park Güell. After the death of Gaudi, the park went to the city.

Entrance to the Park Güell
The former central entrance to the park is framed by two gingerbread houses almost toy, now it is the exit from the park. The administration of the quarter should have been located in the house with the cross, and the doorkeeper should have lived in another house.
The gatekeeper’s house at the entrance to the park
For some reason, it is believed that the gatekeeper’s house has the shape of a mushroom, but it did not seem so to me. The house gives the impression of a fairy tale, but it does not look like a mushroom at all.
Gingerbread house at the entrance to the park Gingerbread house at the entrance, view from the balcony on the Nature Square
Then there is a staircase leading up to the hall of a hundred columns, past a salamander or a lizard made of colored mosaic. The lizard has a full house, it is almost invisible because of people trying to take pictures against its background.
The lizard has become the trademark of the park, and of the whole of Barcelona. Gaudi’s lizards were replicated for souvenirs, pendants, earrings, T-shirts, postcards and other similar products.

In fact, there are only 86 columns in the Hall of a Hundred Columns, but it doesn’t matter.
Hall of a Hundred ColumnsHypostyle HallDetails of decoration of the ceiling, mosaicsOriginal bench
The famous snake bench, which has a curve in the shape of a human back, crowns the Hall of a Hundred Columns from above. The bench is finished with fragments of ceramic tiles, i.e. almost construction waste. They say Gaudi made a bend specifically for the back, he seated one of his workers and sculpted the back of the bench.
Snake BenchNature Square, Snake Bench
Previously, when the park was free, the bench was actively taken away for souvenirs, now this phenomenon has decreased several times, but has not disappeared.
Directly from this terrace you can see the Nature Square and the snake bench. The stone columns resemble the shape of nearby palm trees.
Alley of stone palms
Stone terraces are not only an excellent decoration of the park, but also very functional. They create shade and coolness on the slope of a bald mountain, which is very pleasant on a hot summer day. In addition, most musicians and photographers work on these terraces.
Stone vases
Gaudí House Museum
The most typical elements of Gaudí’s buildings are displayed around the Gaudí House. If you don’t have time to see the originals, located in different parts of Barcelona, then there is a chance to see a lot in Park Güell. A museum has been opened in Gaudi’s house, furniture from the house of Mila is exhibited there. Tickets must be purchased online in advance.

Musical ensembles and just solo artists perform on the stone terraces.
Indian groups manage to cover all of Europe, they also perform at our house in St. Petersburg, and sometimes right next to my house near the subway on the outskirts.

Numerous photographers also make money on the terraces. And the police take pictures of couples in love against the backdrop of the park absolutely free.
Free part of the park
At the highest point of the park stands the Chapel topped with three crosses. The chapel is reminiscent of ancient watchtowers or even Druid temples. Only the most persistent tourists reached it in the thirty-degree heat.
Hill of Three Crosses in Park Güell
The Hill of Three Crosses itself is located almost at the top of the park, so there are panoramic views of Barcelona from there. There, in the distance, you can see the Sagrada Familia with construction cranes.
Panorama of Barcelona from the hill of three crosses
Naturally, such a touristic place is full of illegal souvenirs, jewelry and cold water dealers.
In the store they buy water for 10 cents, and at the very top of the park it already costs 2 €.
Merchants on the mountain in Park Güell
Our people, as always, cannot but leave traces, inscriptions in Russian are present even on agave leaves.
Aloe with Russian inscriptions. In addition to lizards, the park is also full of budgerigars, they chirp merrily in the branches of palm trees. Parrots have not been found in Barcelona before, these are the descendants of indoor birds that flew out of the windows, it’s just that the climate of Barcelona suited the budgerigars and they multiplied.
Lizard in Park Güell
Park Güell is absolutely stunning, very unusual and unlike anything else. You can visit it, both for a fee and for free.
My review of visiting the park
I don’t even know what this miracle of landscape design and architecture can be compared with at the same time. We have seen quite a few different parks in St. Petersburg (this is the place of our permanent residence), Versailles Park, Linderhof Park in Bavaria, Vigeland Sculpture Park in Oslo, but none of them resembles Park Güell even remotely.
This is an Art Nouveau park, I don’t know if there is another Art Nouveau park anywhere else in the world, some call Park Güell the park of the future.
I visited Parc Güell twice in 2012 and 2015. Since my first visit, the park has become paid, but fortunately not all. I can even understand why the Barcelona municipality made a paid entrance to the Monumental zone for tourists, residents of the surrounding area can, as before, visit the entire park for free. But until 2017, it was also possible to get into this limited zone for free – either in the morning or in the evening – respectively BEFORE or AFTER the ticket pass begins / ends.
In 2012, so many people walked through the park that it was almost impossible to see the famous Gaudí lizard. They constantly took pictures with her, there was a crowd of people waiting around, but all this pandemonium was present only on the lower tiers. The higher you climb, the less people, although this does not apply to the very top of the park.
There, next to the three crosses, many photo sessions are held. It’s scary to stand on the edge, there is no fence there.
Since October 2013, paid entrance has been made to the smallest, most beautiful part of the park with the main staircase, the famous snake bench, and the Hypostyle Hall. And on my second visit in 2015, we did not buy a ticket, the paid zone was perfectly visible from the free ones.
Paid part of Park Güell from 2013 to 2017
After 2017, Park Güell became completely paid, you can visit only the forest part with the Mount of Three Crosses for free. Everything that you see in the picture for 2023 is considered a paid zone. Those. Tourists must buy a ticket, there is no other way out.
