Espanya and settle down for a 40-minute ride to Frederic Mompou from where the Crypt is about a 15-minute walk<\/li>\n<li><b>By Car<\/b> : Driving to Colonia Guell from Barcelona takes about 30 minutes and the route being scenic, it makes for a great roadtrip.<\/li>\n<li><b>Guided Tour<\/b> : A guided tour of Colonia Guell includes a train ride from Barcelona, making this option a great choice for anyone who doesn\u2019t want to worry about travelling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>Colonia Guell Map<\/h5>\n<h2 id=\"coloniaguellbarcelona7\">Tips For Your Colonia Guell Visit<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Most Colonia Guell Tickets come free with an audio guide. Make sure to pick this up from the Visitor&#8217;s center at the entrance as it is a great resource to help understand the history and architectural elements of the colony<\/li>\n<li>After sunset, the beauty of Colonia Guell is enhanced all the more. If time permits, try staying longer to see the structure dimly lit in warm yellow light.<\/li>\n<li>While there are around 13 to 15 points of interest in the colony, the Colonia Guell Crypt is the most famous. Most people come in to see this, hence visit right at the beginning to avoid crowds that come later in the day.<\/li>\n<li>Remember to return the audio guide at the Visitors\u2019 Center at least 10 minutes before the closing time.<\/li>\n<li>You are required to deposit some form of identification (ID) as a deposit to rent the audioguide. Once you return the audio guide, you will recieve your ID back. <\/li>\n<li>Purchasing Colonia Guell tickets that come inclusive of transport from Barcelona and back is a wise idea.
