Park Güell at a glance
Park Güell is a public park on a hill above the city. The part most visitors come for is the monumental zone with the mosaic terrace, the dragon on the main staircase and the two gatehouses. It covers 12 hectares, is part of Gaudí's UNESCO listing, and needs a ticket with a time slot.
The rest of the park is the forest zone, about 8 hectares. It is free and open to everyone without a ticket. If you only want a walk and a view, you do not have to pay anything. If you want the famous mosaics, you do.
Monumental zone or free forest zone
The park has two areas, and only one of them needs a ticket.
| Monumental zone | Forest zone | |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 12 hectares | 8 hectares |
| Entry | Ticket with a time slot | Free, no ticket |
| What you see | Mosaic terrace, dragon, gatehouses, UNESCO area | Paths, trees and views of the city |
| Re-entry | Not possible after you leave | Free to come and go |

Time slots and opening hours
Your ticket shows a slot time. You can enter up to 30 minutes after that time. After that the ticket expires. Once you leave the monumental zone, you cannot go back in. The park lets in at most 1,400 visitors per hour, which is why slots can sell out on busy days.
Tourist hours are 9:30 to 19:30. From 7:00 to 9:30 and from 20:00 to 22:00 the park is reserved for local residents. The park is open all year, but it can close in severe weather. We could not verify seasonal opening times or a last entry time, so look at the slot options when you buy.
How to get to Park Güell
The park is on a hill, so plan some walking uphill.
Metro L3
Get off at Lesseps or Vallcarca. From either station it is about 20 minutes on foot.
Bus H6 or D40
Take the bus to Travessera de Dalt. From there it is about 10 minutes on foot.
Recommended entrance
The Avinguda del Santuari de Sant Josep de la Muntanya entrance has escalators. The Carretera del Carmel entrance is the other recommended option.
Buying tickets
The park recommends buying online in advance. There are also ticket machines at the entrances and at the Lesseps and Vallcarca metro stations, and service desks.
Getting to the Sagrada Família →How to plan your Park Güell visit
Four decisions, in this order.
1. Do you need a ticket?
If you want the mosaic terrace, the dragon and the gatehouses, yes. If you only want a walk in the green part of the hill, the forest zone is free.
2. Pick your slot
Choose a time between 9:30 and 19:30. With at most 1,400 visitors per hour, popular times fill up first. Remember the 30 minutes of tolerance and arrive a little early.
3. Choose your price
Check whether you qualify for a reduced price: €13.50 for children 7 to 12 and for visitors over 65. People with disabilities enter free, and a companion pays €13.50.
4. Pick your way in
Choose the entrance with the escalators on Avinguda del Santuari de Sant Josep de la Muntanya, or the one on Carretera del Carmel. Both are officially recommended.
If you also plan the Sagrada Família, see the ticket guide for its time slots and prices.
Good to know
Gaudí House Museum
The museum in the park is temporarily closed, according to the website of the Sagrada Família foundation. Do not plan your visit around it.
Combine with the basilica
Many visitors do the Sagrada Família in the morning and the park in the afternoon. Book both slots before you go.
