We went in last year and are considering going in again this year (when we're there in Sept). even the photos you take inside don't do it justice. It's the kind of place you experience and try to explain it to family and friends back home and fail. Truly spectacular. more

If I were to suggest one Gaudi building it would be this one, which despite the expense it quite a sight and perhaps because of the cost had only sparse attendance. more

I saw some negative reviews on the site and thought long and hard about whether we should go to this place. Well, on our 4th day in Barcelona we had a lot of free time left so we decided to go. It was well worth the 13.40 euro price (with bus turistic coupon) and you could see much more Gaudi... more

The admission price of Casa Batllo is 16.50 Euro each & includes the audioguide. There is a 10% off coupon from Bus Turistic, but this was the highest admission price we paid to tour any building in Barcelona. The outside of this unique building mesmerizes you with its dragon roof, balconies sculpted in the form of carnival masks & of... more

Casa Batllo is a fantasmagorical architectural piece. I've never seen anything like it - it is truly unique to Barcelona. It was done after Jules Verne wrote his best-selling "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," and the English audio guide said Gaudi wanted the house to appear as if it were underwater. It is expensive to get in - ouch. And... more

This is the most fantastic building! I'd say my favorite Gaudi masterpiece, even more so than La Segrada Familia and much more exciting than La Padrera...but luckly it's not a competition. :) Each room in Casa Batllo is so well thought out and cool. What was going on in his mind when he designed it!? I recommend visiting. There was... more

Echo the reviews. The inside of Casa Mila is much more in depth with Gaudi's design. Casa Batllo is a gem on the outside. You can only visit 2 levels inside plus the roof. Views and the structures within are so-so compare to Casa Mila. Visited in March 09, the admission is 16.50 euros. more

Agree with an earlier review. Just take photos from the outside and instead do the audiotour of La Pedera. more

A visit to Casa Batlló is like travelling in a natural, imaginary and absolutely different from everything world!!! Gaudí was a genious, and I would say this is one of his outstanding masterpieces... 100% gaudi!!! The entrance ticket is a bit expensive, but it's really worth the visit. more

Yes, it is (ridiculously) expensive, yes, it is small, but you can't afford to miss this. I'd say La Pedrera is a house with a Gaudi touch, whereas Batllo is totally Gaudi's universe. Very colourful, fantastic shapes and every detail has been thought through. 5 stars minus 1 for the entrance fee. more
