About Casa Batlló
Casa Batlló is a remodelled apartment block at Passeig de Gràcia 43, and the remodelling is the reason to go. The building was put up in 1877 by Emili Sala Cortés, one of Gaudí's own architecture professors. In 1903 the textile industrialist Josep Batlló i Casanovas bought it and commissioned works that began as a demolition; Gaudí talked him out of knocking it down and rebuilt it in place instead, between 1904 and 1906. Daily 09:00–19:15 for the General Visit. The operator states that the General Visit runs every day of the year, so there are no regular closure days. Separately ticketed experiences use different hours.

What's inside
The route runs bottom to top. It starts in the Batlló family's private lobby, reached through a wrought-iron grille from the communal entrance hall: vaulted walls, skylights shaped like turtle shells, and a carved wooden staircase whose handrail reads as the spine of an animal. The main floor above it is the set piece, with Josep Batlló's office and its mushroom-shaped fireplace, oak doors carrying coloured glass, a ceiling worked into waves, and the wide gallery window projecting over Passeig de Gràcia.

How long to spend
The operator puts the General Visit at approximately one hour fifteen minutes, and says the entry-level Blue ticket runs closer to one hour because it stops short of the roof terrace. Allow ninety minutes in a day plan. Nobody walks straight off a Gaudí roof into the next appointment. If the visit is combined with the Gaudí-Miró-Gomis exhibition on the second floor, the operator gives one hour forty-five minutes for the pair, and the exhibition alone forty-five minutes.

Season and crowds
Casa Batlló opens every day of the year. The General Visit runs from 9am, and the operator's own pages give different endings for it, so both are worth knowing: the visit page states 9am to 7:15pm, while the ticket listing gives a last access of 7:45pm. Daily 09:00–19:15 for the General Visit. Wheelchair users can visit all areas of the house, including the new rooms and roof terrace. Two elevators have priority use for visitors with disabilities or reduced mobility and for pregnant visitors. A subtitled tablet is available for visitors with hearing impairments in 15 languages.

Tickets
The General Visit starts from 29 euros bought online. The price is dynamic rather than fixed, rising with demand and with how close to the date you buy, and the operator says booking ahead saves up to 15 euros per ticket. Over-65s pay 3 euros less. A group starts at 11 people and books through a form. General Visit admission starts at €29 online. Prices vary by date, time, availability, and how far in advance the ticket is purchased; box-office prices are €4–€15 higher than online prices. Wheelchair users can visit all areas of the house, including the new rooms and roof terrace.

Getting there
No car is needed, and none is wanted: Casa Batlló sits on Passeig de Gràcia, in the middle of the Eixample, with a metro station named after the street at the door. Metro lines L3 and L4 stop at Passeig de Gràcia. The entrance is at Passeig de Gràcia 43. Passeig de Gràcia station is served by Metro lines L3 and L4 and RENFE lines R2 Nord and R2 Sud. Plaça Catalunya, served by Metro L1, FGC lines L6, L7, S1 and S2, and RENFE lines R1, R3 and R4, is about a 10-minute walk.

What to watch out for
Timed entry is enforced at both ends. You cannot go in before the time on the ticket, and once the slot opens you have fifteen minutes to enter. There are no lockers. The operator's advice is to leave luggage and backpacks at your accommodation, because the only storage is a corner for pushchairs and wheelchairs. Pets are admitted at staff discretion. Wheelchair users can visit all areas of the house, including the new rooms and roof terrace. A subtitled tablet is available for visitors with hearing impairments in 15 languages.

Photography
Photography is allowed for personal use throughout the house. Tripods are not, and anything commercial goes through the operator's professional area rather than being negotiated at the door. That rules out long exposures, which matters because the interiors are darker than they look in other people's pictures: the light well is deliberately graded, the lobby is deep, and a phone braced against a handrail will do better than one held out at arm's length. The operator recommends wheelchair visits between 16:00 and 19:00, outside peak visitor hours.
