Full Description
Casa Batllo on Passeig de Gracia
Casa Batllo was built in 1877 and remodelled by Gaudi between 1904 and 1906 for the textile industrialist Josep Batllo. The facade of shimmering ceramic fragments and skeletal balconies earned it the nickname House of Bones, and the arched roof is said to resemble the back of a dragon slain by St George.
When people search for Casa Batllo tickets, they usually want to see this remarkable interior. Gaudi avoided straight lines, so walls, ceilings and doors curve like waves, and every detail from the door handles to the windows is designed to feel organic.
The Noble Floor, Light Well and Gaudi Cube
The Noble Floor is the main reception level, with a large stained-glass window facing the street, a mushroom-shaped fireplace nook and a ceiling that swirls like water. The inner light well is faced with blue tiles that get lighter towards the bottom so each floor receives the same amount of daylight.
The Gaudi Cube is a 360-degree immersive room that projects Gaudi's ideas and nature-inspired design across the walls. The smart audio guide adds visual touches as you walk, so there is no need to read long panels. Plan about one and a half hours for the full visit.
The Dragon's Rooftop and the Batllo Residence
Higher tickets add the rooftop, where the ceramic roof tiles form the dragon's scales and the four mushroom-shaped chimneys stand beside a tower topped by a cross. The Blue option covers the interior without the rooftop, while Silver adds the rooftop and Gold and Platinum add more, depending on the option you choose.
Gold and Platinum add an augmented reality tablet, the original concierge room and the private residence of the Batllo family, giving a look at how the family actually lived in the building. Platinum also includes priority access, which is useful in busy periods.
Choosing Your Ticket, Timing and Getting There
Casa Batllo opening hours change by season, and the best time to visit is early in the morning or in the evening when queues are shorter. The best-value experience for many people is a ticket that includes the rooftop, which many visitors call the highlight.
To get to Casa Batllo, take the metro to Passeig de Gracia (lines L2, L3 and L4) and walk a couple of minutes. The house sits on the Block of Discord with Casa Amatller and Casa Lleo Morera, so you can compare three modernist facades in one short walk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
How much does the Casa Batllo ticket cost?
The price depends on the option (Blue, Silver, Gold or Platinum) and the traveller category. The booking panel on this page shows the current price for each option, adult and child.
Is hotel pickup included?
No. This is an admission ticket, so you go to Casa Batllo yourself, close to Passeig de Gracia metro station.
How long does a visit take?
Allow about one and a half hours, and extra time for the rooftop and the queue at popular hours.
Is Casa Batllo suitable for children?
Yes. The curved shapes, the Gaudi Cube and the rooftop are enjoyable for children, and younger visitors have their own ticket categories.
What should I wear or bring?
Comfortable shoes and your ticket on your phone. Bring headphones if you prefer them for the smart audio guide.
Can I book for today or tomorrow?
If today or tomorrow shows time slots in the booking panel, they are available. Popular times sell out, so book ahead where possible.
What is the difference between the options?
Blue covers the interior without the rooftop. Silver adds the Dragon's Rooftop, Gold adds the augmented reality tablet, the concierge room and the Batllo residence, and Platinum is the full visit with priority access.
Is the rooftop worth adding?
For most visitors, yes. The mosaic roof, the chimneys and the city views make it a highlight, so an option that includes it is worth considering.
Is Casa Batllo worth visiting?
Yes, if you enjoy Gaudi's imagination. The interior is as inventive as the facade and very different from a traditional museum.
How do I get to Casa Batllo?
Take the metro to Passeig de Gracia (L2, L3 or L4) and walk about two minutes along the avenue.
