How to access the Gaudí House Museum

Things to know before booking Gaudí House Museum tickets

A standard Park Güell ticket won’t get you through the doors of Gaudí’s old home. You’ll need a separate ticket that includes museum entry—these are timed, limited, and often snapped up days in advance, especially during weekends and peak season.
The house may look charming and compact, but getting around isn’t the easiest. There’s a narrow spiral staircase and no elevator, so it’s not wheelchair accessible. If mobility is a concern, the upper floor might be tricky to reach.
Photography’s allowed, but leave the flash and tripods behind. And since there’s no cloakroom, pack light—no one wants to haul a backpack through Gaudí’s living room.
