Park Güell, also known as Park Guell, was designed by Antonio Gaudí. Continuing his legacy, the park boasts unique, ornate, and playful architecture. The colorful lizards here are actually valves controlling the water tanks, and the eaves of the hall resemble the spine of a giant dragon.

Park Güell was designed by Antoni Gaudí between 1900 and 1914 as part of a housing project that was never completed. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage site, symbolizing the creativity and innovation of Catalan modernism, with its playful forms and colorful mosaics.
Park Güell is located in the Gràcia district of Barcelona, at Carrer d'Olot, 08024. The closest metro station is "Lesseps" (Line 3), about a 15-minute walk to the park entrance. Buses 24 and 92 also serve the area. Walking is an option, but the park is situated on a hill, so be prepared for a steep walk.
Park Güell is open from 8:30 AM to 6:15 PM. The best times to visit are early in the morning or later in the evening to avoid the crowds, especially in peak tourist season.
The general entrance fee for the Monumental Zone of Park Güell is around 10 EUR. Tickets can be purchased online through the official website or at the entrance of the park.
It is highly recommended to book tickets in advance, particularly during the high season (spring and summer), to avoid long lines and guarantee entry. You can book tickets up to a few weeks in advance.
A visit to Park Güell typically takes 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on your pace and interest in exploring the gardens, monuments, and museum.

The best viewpoints are from the park's main terrace and from the surrounding hills, offering sweeping views of the city, the Sagrada Familia, and the Mediterranean Sea. The colorful mosaics and the famous salamander sculpture also make great photo opportunities.
