About
Get to know the famous Güell Park with this tour that gives you the opportunity to access it in the morning to avoid the crowds and enjoy your visit even more. The Park Güell, has more than 100 years of history and is one of the most representative works of the artist Antonio Gaudí, famous for embellishing with his architectural pieces the beautiful city of Barcelona. The main architectural feature of the park is based on art nouveau, although the main idea was the construction of a luxury residential complex, over the years this idea was abandoned and in its place a park worthy of the setting of a fairy tale was built. The park was opened in 1922 and has since become one of the city's main tourist attractions. In 1984 it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Discover every corner, and the best views of the city with our professional guide.
