Casa Vicens Gaudí is the first major architectural work by Antoni Gaudí, located in the Gràcia neighborhood of Barcelona, Catalunya. As a museum and cultural site, Casa Vicens Gaudí presents visitors with the early experiments in form, color and material that defined Gaudí’s emerging Modernisme style. The property offers a range of visit formats to suit different interests: small-group guided tours, self-guided visits with an audio guide available in 16 languages, exclusive early-access hours, and creative workshops.
Guided visits are organized in intimate groups to prioritize close observation of the house’s ornamentation and structure. For visitors preferring independent exploration, the self-guided option includes a multilingual audio guide for deeper context. The museum also runs specialized experiences: a ceramics workshop led by master ceramist Manel Diestre where participants learn the trepa technique and take home a fired tile; a sketching workshop guided by Daniel Pagans with provided materials; and a hospitality-enhanced visit called "Sweet Gaudí" that pairs the museum visit with breakfast or an aperitif at the café. Several visit formats reference the site’s inclusion among Gaudí’s recognized works of cultural heritage.
All programming takes place on the historic site in Barcelona and is designed for accessibility and engagement across ages. Casa Vicens Gaudí collaborates with experienced guides and skilled practitioners to deliver informed, hands-on, and interpretive experiences grounded in the building’s architectural and craft traditions.
