A standard Park Güell ticket costs €18 on the park's official website (parkguell.barcelona), run by BSM on behalf of Barcelona City Council. Children aged 0 to 6 go free, and the reduced rate for children aged 7 to 12 and over-65s is €13.50. Every ticket is in your name, tied to a date and a half-hour time slot, and can be bought online up to three months ahead.
Entry is capped at 1,400 people an hour, and the official site warns that availability is very limited. Turn up without a ticket and there is no assurance you will get in at the time you want, especially in high season. Once inside you can stay as long as you like, but if you leave you cannot go back in.
If you just want to walk round on your own, the official ticket is what costs least. The guided tours with tickets included further down this page cost more because you are paying for a guide: they are worth it if you want someone to explain Gaudí's ideas as you go, or if the official site has nothing left in the slot that suits you.
Here you'll find Viator experiences with prices and reviews, such as a guided Park Güell tour that had more than 1,300 reviews averaging 4.9 in October 2026, plus other things to do in Barcelona. They cost more than the official ticket because a guide is included; availability and prices are set by each operator.
The standard ticket went up from €10 to €18 in 2025. These are the prices listed on the official website as of October 2026, VAT included. You need to show proof when claiming a reduced or free ticket, and every visitor needs their own ticket, babies and toddlers included, even when it costs nothing.
Book on the official website, where you choose a date and a time slot up to three months in advance, with a limit of 7 tickets per order; groups of 8 or more must book as an organised group. Tickets are named and the name must match your passport or ID card, which staff may ask to see. There is no need to print anything: the QR code on your phone is fine.
You have 30 minutes from the start of your slot. A 9.30am ticket lets you in until 10am; after that you lose your entry.
You can change the date or time up to the day before your visit, subject to availability. There are no cancellations or refunds, except for exceptional circumstances reviewed case by case.
Gaudí started Park Güell in 1900 as a private housing estate; what you walk through today are its shared spaces and roads. The park covers 12 hectares and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984. Your ticket covers all of it: the monumental area, the green spaces and the viewpoints.
The busiest part, made up of the Nature Square, the Hypostyle Room, the Laundry Room Portico, the Dragon Stairway and the Austria Gardens, has a second checkpoint and a one-way route, so you may have to wait briefly.
The standard ticket does not include the Gaudí House Museum, where the architect lived from 1906 to 1925. The official site sells it as a combined ticket. In October 2026 the Sagrada Família website, which ran the museum until 2024, was showing a temporary closure notice, so check it is open before paying for the combination.
The Porter's Lodge (Casa del Guarda), by the Carrer d'Olot entrance, was the gatekeeper's home. Its three floors now hold a MUHBA exhibition on Güell, Gaudí and Barcelona, visited with a separate combined ticket.
The park opens every day of the year. Time slots on sale run from 9.30am to 7.30pm; from 7am to 9.30am and from 8pm to 10pm entry is reserved for local residents and Passi Verd reservations, with no tourist visits. Times can change, so check the official site before you go.
In summer, avoid the middle of the day: the paths are steep, much of the route is in the sun and the park itself advises bringing water. There is no time limit once you are in. The official guided tour of the main spaces takes about 50 minutes; allow considerably longer if you want to climb to the Three Crosses and walk the viaducts.
The recommended entrances are Carretera del Carmel 23, Carrer de Larrard (via Carrer d'Olot and Carrer de Marianao) and Avinguda del Santuari de Sant Josep de la Muntanya, reached by escalators. For visitors with reduced mobility, the official site recommends the Carretera del Carmel entrance.
Not as a tourist. Access has been regulated since October 2013 and the ticket covers the whole 12 hectares, not just the monumental area. According to the official site, children aged 0 to 6, visitors with a disability and holders of Barcelona's Tarjeta Rosa get in free, each with a zero-price ticket.
Residents of the neighbouring districts (El Coll, Vallcarca-Penitents, La Salut, El Carmel, Can Baró and Baix Guinardó) have a free access card, and anyone registered as living in Barcelona can enter free with a Passi Verd reservation, valid only for the day it is requested.
Check other slots and nearby dates on the official site, which sells up to three months ahead.
A guided tour with entry included is the other route. The park's own tour costs €17 plus the ticket, lasts about 50 minutes, takes groups of up to 25 and runs in Catalan, Spanish, English and French; the Plus version costs €29 plus the ticket and lasts about 90 minutes. You can also look at the tours below.
The official site recommends buying online and in advance. If you arrive without a ticket there is no assurance you will get in at the time you want.
There is no time limit. The official guided tour of the main sights takes about 50 minutes; allow more if you want to climb to the Turó de les Tres Creus. Once you leave, you cannot go back in.
