Take a tour through the magical Park Güell, one of the world’s most impressive and creative public parks, designed by Barcelona’s most famous architect: Antonio Gaudi.
Today, it is a UNESCO World Heritage site, made up of delightful gardens, and filled with exuberant coloured mosaics, sculptures, and monuments inspired by nature. Carved into the Carmel hillside with panoramic views of Barcelona, Gaudi loved it so much, he made his home here! Your tour will take you to all the major highlights like El Drac, the tiled lizard, as well as many hidden gems within this huge 42-acre park.

Meet your guide at the Carmel Entrance to Park Güell, and enjoy skip-the-line entry into one of the most magical parks in the world.
The brainchild of Antonio Gaudi and his patron Count Güell, this enchanting and eccentric wonderland of mosaic statues and tiled sculptures, with magnificently quirky architectural details, was carved into the Carmel hillside, to be a haven away from the pollution and busyness of the city below.
Your exploration of the park will take you under remarkable viaducts, along curving pathways and through pretty gardens. You’ll see a vast array of bright colors evocative of the Mediterranean atmosphere, gorgeous mosaics and tiled sculptures – all inspired by nature and animals. Walk up the Dragon staircase in the center of the park, an icon of Barcelona, and admire the many other animal mosaics shimmering in the sun, from snails to elephants in Gaudí’s garden paradise. Everything – from viaducts, to buildings to the sculptures – is cleverly built into the topography of the hill. Gaudi, the beloved Modernist architect of Park Güell – loved his sparkling creations so much he lived here. The house is now open to the public.
In 1984 the Park became a UNESCO World Heritage Site and remains one of Barcelona’s most symbolic and defining attractions.
You will end your tour, at the top of the hill, on a tiled snake-like bench, a great place to relax, enjoy the sweeping panoramic views over the park and city of Barcelona beneath.

All LivTours Semi-Private Group Tours are limited to 6 guests per tour guide. Our commitment to maintaining our uniquely tiny group sizes can sometimes be a little tricky, mathematically speaking. For example, we want to ensure that traveling families and friends can tour together so on rare occasions we may add one or two guests in order to not split groups. On that same note, you may also find yourself on tour with less than six people! We thank you for your understanding and flexibility.
