Pro tips to help you make a pick
Explore Casa Milà at night for a beautifully lit experience. Families and young tourists can enjoy Gaudi’s Pedrera night show. Allow 1.5 hours, best between 9-10 am or after 4:30 pm for fewer crowds.
Casa Milà, like other Gaudi structures, is colourful and atypical. Thus, families with children should consider it. Also, they provide unique guided tours and a fun night entertainment. Children under 7 are free to enter, while 7-12-year-olds get a discount. Without an adult, children under 12 cannot enter the premises.
Casa Milà is wheelchair accessible. The adjacent metro station is not wheelchair-accessible, therefore it is advised to use a bus. Ideal for visitors with hearing or reading challenges.
No need to pre-book winter tickets for Casa Milà. In summer, buy in advance to skip long queues. Take advantage of the included audio guide, available in Spanish and English, for a richer understanding of the site's history and architecture.
You may eat at one of Casa Milà's many eateries and coffee shops following your tour. We recommend Taller the Tapas, Barcelona 2254, or Humus Barcelona.
Because of their close proximity, using the metro is the best way to reach Casa Milà. The structure is conveniently located near the tourist bus terminal. Also, private vehicles aren't the best bet for getting there because of all the one-way streets and heavy traffic.

About Casa Milà
A building with NO straight lines? Casa Milà is that architectural rebel designed by Gaudí's whimsy. Pillars, arches replace walls, creating illusionary floor designs. The interior, featuring an exhibition of Gaudí's works, a model apartment from the 1920s, and the stunning rooftop terrace, offers insight into Barcelona's modernist movement.
Attic turned museum: Located in the attic of La Pedrera, you'll discover the Espai Gaudí, Barcelona's only interpretation center dedicated to Gaudí's whole body of work. You may find information on his architectural style and the things that influenced him here.
A master's craft: Casa Milà boasts Gaudí's signature naturalistic architecture, a feat so astounding that not a single right angle graces it. Inside, walls glide effortlessly, a feat achieved by Gaudí's concrete-steel construction, eliminating the need for load-bearing walls—a revolutionary concept echoed in today's modern office buildings. The balconies resemble ocean waves from afar.
Beauty that never sleeps: Passeig de Gràcia hosts a unique light art piece that brings La Pedrera to life at night. Gaudí's Pedrera: The Origins is an interactive exhibit that uses lighting to illuminate various portions of the structure, brightening up the ideas for its design. Having supper in the building is an option, and you can cap it all off with a glass of cava.
Is that...Darth Vader?: The terrace towers of Casa Mila may recall fans of Darth Vader! La Pedrera influenced George Lucas, rumours have it. Is it true? Although no reliable source has corroborated this, the parallels are striking. In fact, almost fifteen movies have been filmed there!
From a design standpoint, the absence of straight lines (and walls) was exciting and quite innovative, but many inhabitants complained that their furniture didn't fit in the oddly shaped rooms. Roser even protested to Gaudí about the lack of a straight wall for her Steinway piano. Gaudí apparently advised her to take up the violin instead.
