If you come in Barcelone, you MUST go in this Parc.
Ok there’s lot of people but it’s so exotic !!!

Absolutely fabulous! Great day trip, but bring your walking shoes.

Truly amazing, this is such a beatiful place to be… all the things from gaudi like the Sagrada…

Always when I visit Barcelona I pass throug Parc Guell.
It is top 5 on my BCN map places.
If it is You firs visit You have to be there.

little minus – tons o people, but it is worth to see the arto of Gaudi!

Gaudi's surreal plaza & park : wonderful!
If you are lucky to be there when there
are classical musicians playing, the whole
amazing atmosphere is heightened.
Dont miss Gaudi's house next door too :
a real gem hidden in the woods & easily
missed.

Great place in Barcelona, it's big, it's free and most of all, it's amazing place, unique. I have never seen something like that. So many beautiful details. Check it out, you will not regret it.

This is so beautiful. It was designed by the famous artist Antoni Gaudi, whos buildings u can find all over barcelona. U can also find his house of birth there. Parque guell is famous for its colorful mosaik!

I visited this place twice and still love it.

A fantastic way of getting into Gaudi's mind and aesthetics. It is like a journey through the park of Alice in Wonderland seen from Gaudi's eyes. It is a real experience and a must if you visit Barcelona, although it is a bit off the main routes in the city, it really is worth taking the time to go.

one of the beautiful place of the city, i love the 100 columns room, the wave room, the snake square, and by going up the hill, i could take great picture because there is a great view on the city. Absolutely to visit during a sunny day, dont forget your camera and sun glasses, before going to holiday, i downloaded free a really good travel guide written by a local guy, if you are interested, here the page http://www.world-rt.com/travel/download-guide-book.php

Someone heard about the movie realised by Cédric Klapisch “LES POUPEES RUSSES”? As well as “Vicky Cristina Barcelona”? So here we’re, Park Guell is one the park I know where so many cinema schemes have been recorded. And it’s just the case due to the fact this park is remarkable, astonishing as you’ll be able to look at Barcelona from one of its best sight points. A Barcelona visited wouldn’t be completed without a stop by park Guell.

Any visit to Barcelona would undoubtedly not be complete without a trip to Gaudi’s park Guell. With his art literally everywhere; beneath your feet, on the walls, on the statues, its hard not to be taken in by the culture. At busy times in the crippling heat however it can taint what is supposed to be a very pleasant experience, so try to go when it is cooler and less busy. Also, the constant presence of lots of local people wanting to sell you things can get irritating, but a firm 'NO’ normally does it. Also as with any major tourist destination in Barcelona, watch out for pickpockets and scammers.

Beautiful, extraordinary, park as if from fairy-tale. Gaudi’s art and vision of the world created this amazing place. You can enjoy, explore, and also get some wonderful views over Barcelona. A picture with a giant lizard is a must :)

I totally want to go back here again one day it was beautiful. It is a park designed by Antoni Gaudi who was an architect and loads of his work features in and around Barcelona. It is very Gothic looking and features loads of nmosaic work from the fountain in the centre to the bench on the higher level which stretches for ages and is shaped like a snake. It is massive and every piece of mosaic was laid by hand. Truly amazing. Directly under the part with the bench is another bit with loads of pillars and they are just gorgeous. Within the park are little houses where Gaudi lived. The view from the snake seat is fantastic and I could have sat there all day taking it all in.
There are many walks through the park taking in loads of different views and scenery. It is so peaceful and lovely on a warm day

Amazing example of Gaudi architecture in a beautiful park. Worth spending a day there to explore the park and take lots of photos of the structures. The salamander is always crowded but worth getting close to! Also worth the walk is a climb to the top of the park. From there you can experience amazing views over Barcelona, including viewing another famouse Gaudi creation, La Sagrada Familia. Bring a picnic and have a relaxing day at the park.

This park is a must see and was the second place on my 'to do’ list on our holiday in Barcelona this August.
We got to the park on the local bus which we caught right outside our hotel (Tryp Apolo), we didnt use the 'sightseeing’ buses.

We had looked at the metro and bus but i had read the walk from the nearest metro is quite steep uphill and the bus drops you right outside. It took about 40 minutes to reach the park from where we got on but the journey was all part of the fun, it was like being on the sightseeing bus but without the expense as the fare was the standard 1 trip rate which i think was 1 euro 30. There was a lovely spanish lady who pointed out things along the way and with our guide book we were able to spot lots of interesting Gaudi works along the route.

The park itself is absolutely amazing. Its huge and full of the most beautiful Gaudi work. the double staircase is stunning with the mosaic lizard but is alwasy busy so not easy to get a decent photo, you have to wait a long time if you want a perfect shot. The seat area that ripples above the staircase is wonderful to sit at and just take in the view, which are some of the best in Barcelona. Again its busy but we did get some photos of just us which was lovely.

There are lots of lovely walkways where you can find peace and quiet and with the musicians tinkling in the background it makes for a really relaxing stroll in the Barcelona heat.

The park itself is free apart from the museum, we didnt go in there as the queue was big and it was the park we had wanted to see anyway. There is a gift shop but its small and cramped, the building its house in however is very pretty, the two gatehouses are like gingerbread houses, i could see Hansel and Gretel being very happy there!

There is a cafe selling a good selection of fresh produce hot and cold and soft and alcoholic drinks and ice creams all at fairly reasonable prices considering the location.
There are a few little stalls dotted about where you can pick up a few trinkets and souvenirs also.

I dont want to tell you too much and spoil your visit, words couldnt really do it justice anyway, make a trip, its well worth it!

A great park and a real must see when in Barcelona. There are amazing views from the lovely zigzag seats which have great Gaudi mosaics on them. When arriving at the park be ready for a big hill, some of the hills leading to the park even have escalators on them they are that steep. The lizard is even better in real life than the photos and see if you can find the caves that make you feel like you are in the Flintstones

I’ve lived just outside Barcelona for the last two years, although am alas back living in England. I’ve therefore been to Parc Guell a number of times and I can say that it is a truly remarkable place. It is however far better off-season as it gets very very busy and a lot of tour groups go there and sadly spoil the peace, tranquillity and magic that Gaudi worked so hard to achieve. If you’re lucky you will see Gaudi’s lovely lizard at the gates (although quite often it hasto be repaired because tourists sit on it to have their pictures taken and break off huge chunks). Make sure you spend awhile there as it took me about four visits to see everything and you will always find some new delight every time you go.

One word of warning though - the cafe there takes advantage of being the only place to sell food nearby and it is therefore incredibly expensive, even for tourist prices.

Just wanted to agree with other reviews - this really is a must when in barcelona, make sure you allot the whole day and take your time to stroll and stop for a coffee, etc…

Must-see tourist attraction - you could easily spend a full day here wandering round admiring the (lunacy of the ) design/architecture.

Breath taking views of the city from here as well.
