Sagrada FamíliaGaudí's masterpiece and the most visited attraction in Spain. An immense basilica under construction since 1882, with the main tower inaugurated in 2026 marking the 100th anniversary of Gaudí's death. Book tickets well in advance.
Park GüellA magical hillside garden complex filled with mosaic sculptures, fairy-tale archways and sweeping views over Barcelona. The monumental zone requires a timed ticket; the surrounding park is free.
Casa BatllóOne of Gaudí's most theatrical buildings, with a façade of shimmering blue-green tiles and a roofline shaped like a dragon's back. On the famous Passeig de Gràcia boulevard.
Casa Milà (La Pedrera)Known as La Pedrera (the stone quarry) for its rippling limestone façade, this apartment building has one of the most extraordinary rooftops in the world — a forest of twisted chimneys.
Palau GüellGaudí's first major commission, built for his patron Eusebi Güell between 1886 and 1888. A stunning mansion in the Gothic Quarter with a rooftop of hand-decorated chimneys. UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Casa VicensGaudí's first major building, completed in 1885 in the Gràcia neighbourhood. A wild explosion of Moorish and Oriental influences, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and open as a museum.
Casa CalvetA more restrained Gaudí building from 1899, designed for a textile manufacturer. Won the Barcelona City Council's annual architecture prize. The ground floor restaurant is a great spot for lunch.
Bellesguard TowerOne of Gaudí's lesser-known gems, built between 1900 and 1909 on the site of a medieval castle. Hidden up in the hills above Barcelona, it blends Gothic and Modernista styles in a deeply personal way.
Gaudí Lamp Posts (Plaça Reial)Gaudí's first ever public commission — ornate six-armed gas lamp posts in the Plaça Reial, designed in 1878 just after he graduated. Easily missed but a great starting point for any Gaudí trail.
Gaudí House Museum (Park Güell)The pink house inside Park Güell where Gaudí lived for almost 20 years until 1925. Now a museum displaying his furniture and personal belongings. A small but intimate glimpse into his world.
Pavellons Güell (Dragon Gate)The spectacular entrance gates to the Güell estate, featuring a wrought-iron dragon with a terrifying wingspan. One of Gaudí's most striking sculptures and completely free to see from the street.
