About this experience

La Pedrera-Casa Milà Skip-the-Line English Guided Tour Skip the queues at one of Barcelona's most celebrated architectural masterpieces with this guided tour of Casa Milà, better known as La Pedrera. Your expert English-speaking guide meets you at Passeig de Gracia for direct access to Antoni Gaudí's revolutionary building, where organic curves and natural forms challenge every rule of traditional architecture. This 1.3-hour tour takes you through restored apartments furnished with period pieces, showing how Barcelona's wealthy families lived in the early 20th century. You'll explore the famous "Whale Attic" with its ribcage-like arches, discover the artistic courtyards known as Patio de las Flores and Patio de las Mariposas, and reach the surreal rooftop dotted with mosaic-covered chimneys locals call "witch scarers".
