Park Güell

What it is

A hillside park Gaudí designed as a housing estate that failed commercially. The mosaic terrace and the gatehouses are the famous part.

Getting there

Metro Lesseps or Vallcarca, then a climb, or bus 24 to the side entrance.

When to go

Early. The monumental zone has timed entry and sells out.

On a student budget

The wider park is free and has the same view; only the monumental core is ticketed at around €10. Residents can enter the paid zone free with proof of address — worth asking about once you have a rental contract.
