Casa Batlló Magic: Review on Gaudi decoration POV

Gaudí's Whimsical Wonderlands on Passeig de Gràcia 🎨🏰

Step into the world of Antoni Gaudí and modernisme as you wander Barcelona’s famous Passeig de Gràcia—where architectural dreams come to life! From the color-splashed Casa Batlló to the legendary “Block of Discord,” this stroll is your golden ticket to genius and artistic rivalry.

Start at Casa Batlló (Pg. de Gràcia, 43; 08:30-22:30). Gaudí drew inspiration from nature and local legend here—notice the shimmering façade, bone-like balconies, and dragon-shaped roof tiles, referencing “Saint George and the Dragon.” Take the immersive audio tour and don’t miss the noble floor’s windows for surreal “insta-worthy” light play! The mosaic staircase and rooftop offer magical angles for photos. Tip: Book tickets ahead and arrive early or late to dodge crowds; last entry 21:00.

Next, cross the street to Manzana de la Discordia (Pg. de Gràcia, 41; 11:00-19:00 Mon–Sat). Snap the iconic line-up of spectacular facades—each one by a different master—especially Casa Amatller (10:00–19:00; best for chocolate lovers, with a charming on-site café!). For Casa Lleó i Morera, admire the intricate stonework outside and peek in if possible (address: Pg. de Gràcia, 35).

Wrap up with a quirky dose at the Barcelona Egyptian Museum (Carrer de València, 284; tickets required). Discover ancient treasures in a peaceful setting—perfect for history buffs.

🌟 Quick Tips: Passeig de Gràcia gets busy; start early, wear comfy shoes, and bring a wide lens for those façade shots. Watch out for pickpockets in this popular area!
