 Chimneys in Palau Guell by easyoar
It is not possible just to wander in, viewing is by guide only, and only small groups are taken round, so if you want to see inside, get there early in the day, book a tour, and come back later for the tour, as the days tours fill up quick.
Photography is very limited inside, so I almost didin't take my camera, but was pleased I did as it is possible to take pictures on the roof, which is the best bit! Leave a Comment

 Two of the many chimneys
of Palau Guell by JanPeter74
The entrance shows the parabolic arches that are very important in Gaudís work and again, one of the most interesting parts of the the building is the roof with chimneys. Leave a Comment

 Chimney Pots on the
rooftop of Palau Guell by kazander
An interesting thing the guide told us was that this house was restored right before the Barcelona Olympics. The chimney pot in the forefront of my picture is the only one that is still completely original. Leave a Comment

First thing to think about when visiting Park Guell - make sure that you aren't tired before.
Second thing - don't take the metro here, as all the climbing will make you quite tired. Put up some money instead, and take a taxi. The things you lose in money you will earn in energy... ;)
The Park Guell is another of Antoni Gaudi's big monuments, although this one is a parc. Since 1984 it's put upon UNESCO's list of World Heritage site, and I recon that was a good decision...
I'm not a huge fan of Gaudi, but still it's really relaxing to walk around in the parc. Specially in the beginning, before you meet half the world in the center of the parc. There is a museum, built in the house where Gaudi once lived, and there is the huge monument built upon colons, where you also can find a caf?.
Stay out of this caf? though, if you doesn't like to get ripped off. Service is terrible (i.e there is no service) and prices are ridiculous.). Just walk around instead, and make sure that you brought some food/drink with you from the outside instead.
Entrance is free, which is really great (put those money saved there on the taxi to the parc instead, as written above) and plan to spend at least a couple of hours here. You can easily find spots in the parc that isn't as crowded as around the big monument, where you instead can sit down and relax, have a talk with your friends, read a book, or just enjoy the silence.
From the beginning Gaudi wanted to give the parc a english style, with up to 60 houses inside it. It didn't prove successful though, and in the end there was only two built.
My advice is, when you get into the head entrance, to look at the monuments, but as soon as you start to get tired of it, all the people around you and the stress - head somewhere else in the parc. Find yourself and your company a bench up in the hills and have a look out over Barcelona. That is, according to me, much more beautiful than the monuments by Gaudi.

 Roof of Palau Guell by clairegeordio
We only got to visit the stables downstairs and the roof, as the rest of the house was being renovated, however, it was free entry. The roof is worth seeing though, with it's 18 projecting chimneys and pipes covered in broken pieces of ceramic. Leave a Comment Phone: 93 317 39 74Directions: 5 Carrer Nou de la Rambla

 Palau Guell by col_hall6
You need to first of all get a ticket for one of the tours held during the day (this is the only way of visiting the Palau) The tours are held in Spanish, Catalan and English.
The feeling, when doing the tour, was of going back in time. This was due to the excellent attention to detail. You begin in the cellar and stables and end up on the incredible roof that has the most amazing chimneys you will ever see, each one decorated individually.
Best time to visit - Early morning or late afternoon. You can get a ticket before the tour required.
Opening hours - Nov to Mar 10 - 6 (last tour 4.30). Apr to Oct 10 - 8 (last tour 6.15). Closed Sundays and public holidays. Tours only, every 15 minutes. Tours last 1 hour. Leave a Comment Phone: 933 173 974Directions: Metro Line 3 (Green) to either Liceu or Drassanes. Off La Rambla.
