parc guell sights
hmmm, nice!
I could not find even in its own web site whether to visit inside is free or not I just know it closes at 2:30
Yes, it is free admission to the Parc Guell. It is open from 10 am until sunset. Admission to the Casa-Museu Gaudí is 4E and it is open 10 am to 6 pm. I have a tip on my Barcelona pages, see web page: http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/736c8/430de/
For the Parc Guell home page see website:
http://www.barcelona.de/en/barcelona-parc-guell.html
It's a public park that just happens to have some of Gaudi's work. Admission was free when we visited.
Palau G. (palace) partial visit (it's just the patio and basement, I think) is free
as most of the building is under renovation

btw Park G - the city council decided to charge for the entrance
sometime next year
oh no that is when we will be going
Freland is right. Sorry but I misread Palau as Parc. The Palau is located at Nou de la Rambla, 3-5 and the Parc is at Carrer d'Olot 7, quite a distance apart.
I realize this thread is about Palau Guell, but...
...they're going to start charging for Parc Guell? This is an outrage! I guess nothing is free any more.
But a bit of nostalgia creeps in on me. I used to live in the Coll/Vallcarca neighborhood on the back side of Parc Guell. I often walked through the small woods on the back to get to the front and visit friends over there or stop for a drink at the bar on the upper plaza. Since there are so many entrances to the park and a lot of locals use it for transit from one area to another, I find it hard to imagine how they are going to control it and charge an entry fee.
This opens up a whole debate: is tourism a good thing? Is there a point when it crosses over to a bad thing and affects or inhibits the lives of the locals?
Discuss.
I'm sorry I caused the confusion
Park Guell access stil will be FREE,
but limited for tourists.
It was a plan I understood wrong in TV news (with 2 other persons!)
today I read in a newspaper it is about reducing to 50% the number of visitors but without charging.

OK. I'm curious; gotta ask: how are they going to reduce the number of visitors by 50% without charging?
Badger,
...?
please see new post (to minimaze off topic Park G <> Palau G )

Visit Park Guell. This was built between 1900 and 1914 by Antoni Gaudi and reflects his very unusual style. I've never seen anything like it. I enjoyed the nightlife. Things just get started around 10 or 11 PM. This is a metropolitan city and anything you might want is available.
Over 100 years under construction !! ..Gaudi was the former builder and once he died other architect take over the mission to finnish it..but its seems a prank!! or a business because i guess after i will die the building will not being finnished !!
Gaudi has an iron believe in God (thats the reason of the building) and it was more or less as Bush ..in every sentence spoke by him the word God was in it ... but a tram cut his life when he already was very old
500 grounded almonds
400g sugar
200g potatoes
1 lemon, untreated
1 egg
Cook and peel the potatoes. Push them through a ricer and let the mass cool down.
Mix the almonds, sugar and potatoes and knead to a mass.
Rub the lemon zest and add. Stir everything well.
Form the mass into 2-3 cm thick balls and roll them in the egg.
Bake the Panellets in the oven at about 170 C, until they are golden in colour
Tip: The Panelletes can also be rolled in crunched peanuts, powdered with sugar or decorated with candied fruits.
There are some shops, restaurants, museum, church, etc. You can find the accommodation too. Besides, you can choose the Sant Joan Funicular or Santa Cova funicular to get to the hiking route. I took the Sant Joan Funicular and walked 2 easy walking path with a view of the whole mountain range.
How to get there:
Take the Monsterat-Manresa line from the FGC Pl. Espanya station and alight at the Montserrat-Aeri station, where you should then take the cable car that climbs up the mountain of Monsterrat.
There are a lot of street vendors on Las Ramblas, as well as newsstands where you can buy postcards, magazines, etc. Pretty much anything that street vendors typically sell - postcards, souvenirs, toys, flowers, etc.
