Highlights
- Appreciate the grandeur of Gaudi´s biggest masterpiece: The Sagrada Familia
- Admire Gaudi’s unique and distinctive architectural styles
- Explore the colourful Park Güell

Marvel at the magnificent interior of the Sagrada Familia, where vaults are 70 metres high. For his opus magnum, Gaudi was inspired by the concept of biomimetics, which involves the imitation of natural elements, and designed the columns reaching into the ceiling to resemble trees with branches, which would themselves support the roof. The breath and scale of the colours and intricacies of the designs are simply awe-inspiring. At the Sagrada Familia Museum, see drawings, plaster models and pictures about the temple’s history and development. Then head outside for a detailed description of the exterior, learning all about the symbolism of each of the three façades: The Nativity, the Passion and the Glory.

Continue the tour at Güelll, the suburban ‘garden city’ where architecture integrates seamlessly with nature. Wander through the Doric colonnade, see the famous mosaic lizard staircase and admire the cityscape from the serpentine benches and also Gaudi’s former home. Return to the city centre to the Passeig de Gracia, where you can admire the fascinating façades of two of Gaudi's most groundbreaking apartment buildings: Casa Milà, which locals affectionately call La Pedrera, ‘the quarry’, and the Casa Batlló, where the tour ends. (Admission not included).
