Edit: You copy-paste response, I am already familiar with, but it doesn't change why it's so expensive. I feel like you don't realise that even just lowering the price 25-50%, you would most likely receive 2-3x and more amount of visitors, that won't just stand outside taking pictures. Beautiful exterior... but honestly 23€ a ticket for supposedly a pretty small interior.. do they just want to lim...

This was my first time visiting a historic site like this, and I'm so glad I made time for it. The building is full of intricate details and ingenious design solutions for its era.

It's a bit further out, so you s...

This was a wonderful historic site. They did an excellent job restoring two floors of the home. The tour is self guided so you can explore at your leisure. They have multilingual audio tour you can enjoy as you enter each room. It was sad to see that the upper floors were painted white and no effort was made restore them.

This was Gaudí’s first major work, and the architecture is absolutely stunning, vibrant, detailed, and unlike anything else. I went on a public holiday and, surprisingly, the place was nearly empty, which made the experience even more special. It gave me the perfect chance to explore at my...
