Casa Batlló Opening Hours
Casa Batlló is open 365 days per year from 9.00 am to 9.00 pm (last entry: 8.00 pm).
I recommend you buy tickets for the 9.00 am slot because there will be less people so you can enjoy your visit without the crowds! Moreover, I advise you to start your journey from the roof without the smart guide and then come back to the first point. By doing this, you can enjoy the empty attic and roof of Casa Batlló.
Duration of the Visit
The estimated time of the excursion is 45 minutes but we think that you will spend more time exploring Casa Batlló, at least, 1 hour 20 minutes.
Casa Batlló is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The House of Bones is one of Barcelona's most iconic attractions and an indispensable stop for discovering the talent of Antonio Gaudi and architectural modernism at its best.
Skip the Queue
It is better to buy tickets online as:
- You will be able to choose between different options and consider the best one for you;
- Allows you to buy tickets with fastpass and enter Casa Batlló through the priority line.
Casa Batlló Night Visit
If you fancy visiting Casa Batlló in the evening, I have something special for you. On the roof of Casa Batlló from 9 June to 24 September, the program "Magic Nights" offers an excursion to Casa Batlló with a smart guide, live music on the terrace and two glasses of cava. The cost is 36 euros. There is also a ticket for 29 euros, but it does not include a tour of Casa Batlló, so you can enjoy only the terrace and the evening view of Barcelona.

Everyone receives an audio-guide which consists of two devices: mobile phone with big screen and headphones. An excursion is offered in 8 languages.
