Casa Batlló or La Pedrera: which of Gaudí's houses to visit, and which ticket

💡 The Short Version: The two houses are 490 m apart on Passeig de Gràcia and both start at €29. Casa Batlló is a house Gaudí remodelled from 1904 to 1906, seen in about 1 hour 15 with an audio guide; book early, because its price moves and booking ahead saves up to €15. La Pedrera (Casa Milà) is a block of flats he built round two courtyards, with an attic of 270 brick arches and a rooftop of 29 chimneys. For an evening visit, La Pedrera Sunset is €25 with the rooftop; Casa Batlló’s €25 night visit leaves the rooftop out. La Pedrera’s rooftop closes in rain, and the building is closed on 25 December 2026 and from 11 to 17 January 2027. Resellers charge the same “from” price as the official sites, or more. Or book a tour: the 3 Gaudí houses tourad (from £101.99, 3 hours) takes you into Casa Vicens, La Pedrera and Casa Batlló with a guide.
