"Perched atop Barcelona, Park Güell is an enchanting testament to Antoni Gaudí's limitless creativity.
Amid lush greenery, the park showcases Gaudí's organic forms, from mosaic-covered sculptures to the iconic lizard symbolizing the Catalan spirit. Vibrant mosaics, crafted from broken tiles, paint a kaleidoscopic panorama against Barcelona's skyline. Serpentine benches wind around the main terrace, offering panoramic views of the city.
Originally conceived as a residential project, Park Güell is now a public oasis, inviting visitors to wander through surreal landscapes where nature and art harmoniously converge in Gaudí's captivating masterpiece."

"An urban park designed by Antoni Gaudí, commissioned by Eusebi Güell, who the park is named after. It is now a UNESCO Heritage site and there is a small fee to enter but worth it to see the intricate detailing in all the symbolic elements designed by Gaudí.
Helpful hints:
- Book tickets ahead of time to avoid the line; they sell out especially in high tourist season.
- Part of the Park is open to the public and free, if you want to catch a glimpse but not pay the entrance fee.
- There is a picnic area inside the park. You are allowed to bring in your own food and enjoy a picnic in one of the most unique parks in the world! "
