La Pedrera (Casa Milà)

Casa Milà is the apartment block Antoni Gaudí built on the chamfered corner of Passeig de Gràcia and Carrer de Provença between 1906 and 1912, and it was the last civil building he completed before he gave the rest of his working life to the Sagrada Família. It was listed in Barcelona's heritage catalogue on 30 October 1962, registered as a national monument in 1969, and declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site on 2 November 1984 alongside Park Güell and Palau Güell. 2 November 2026–25 February 2027: Monday–Sunday and public holidays 09:00–18:30; night-visit sessions 19:00–23:00.

The standard route, sold as La Pedrera Essential, covers five spaces across roughly 4,500 square metres on five levels, and they are visited in a fixed order from the bottom up. The two courtyards come first. The Flower Courtyard on the Passeig de Gràcia side was the owners' own entrance, circular, with painted floral murals and a staircase that curves up through the light; the Butterfly Courtyard on Carrer de Provença is elliptical, with mural paintings by Aleix Clapés and iron-and-glass doors.

Ninety minutes. That is the figure La Pedrera itself publishes for the Essential visit, and its own frequently asked questions put it slightly wider at approximately an hour to an hour and a half. Ninety minutes is the honest planning number for a first visit that uses the included videoguide and does not skip the attic exhibition. A guided tour of the same five spaces is available on request for groups and does not add rooms, only commentary. La Pedrera Essential adult admission starts at €29. The self-guided ticket includes a videoguide; a surcharge may apply when buying at the box office.

La Pedrera opens every day of the week, including public holidays, except on a few published closure dates, and runs two published seasons. From 2 November 2026 to 25 February 2027 it is open 9:00 to 18:30; from 26 February to 1 November 2027 it is open 9:00 to 20:30. It is closed on 25 December 2026 and from 11 to 17 January 2027. 2 November 2026–25 February 2027: Monday–Sunday and public holidays 09:00–18:30; night-visit sessions 19:00–23:00. Special Christmas hours, 26 December 2026–3 January 2027: 09:00–20:30 (1 January 2027: 11:00–20:30); night-visit sessions 21:00–23:00. 26 February–1 November 2027: Monday–Sunday and public holidays 09:00–20:30; night-visit sessions 20:40–22:20.

La Pedrera Essential adult admission starts at €29. The self-guided ticket includes a videoguide; a surcharge may apply when buying at the box office. Priority access is through the main entrance at Passeig de Gràcia 92.

The address is Passeig de Gràcia 92, in the Eixample, 08008 Barcelona, on the corner with Carrer de Provença. No car is needed and none is wanted: the building sits on the city's best-served transport corner and the surrounding streets are slow, metered and largely one-way. Entrance: Passeig de Gràcia 92, Eixample, 08008 Barcelona. Metro lines L3 and L5 stop at Diagonal; RENFE services stop at Passeig de Gràcia; FGC services stop at Provença–La Pedrera. Nearby buses include V15, V17, H10, H8, 7, 22, 24, 6, 33 and 34. Lifts and ramps connect the principal visitor floors; staff assist wheelchair users with the adapted lifts.

Rain closes the roof terrace, and no ticket protects against it. If the ticket has not been validated the visit can be rescheduled; if it has been validated, La Pedrera accepts no change, so a wet forecast is a reason to move the booking before setting out rather than after arriving. Priority access is through the main entrance at Passeig de Gràcia 92. The courtyards, Tenants’ Apartment and Gaudí Space in the attic have step-free routes. The rooftop is reached by lift, but its uneven surface is not wheelchair-accessible; a platform by the lift provides a partial rooftop view.

Read the rules before packing a camera bag, because they are stricter than most Barcelona monuments. Flash photography is not permitted anywhere inside. Professional photographic equipment is not allowed into the building at all, and taking photographs, video or film of La Pedrera, including any use of a tripod, requires special authorisation requested in advance through the operator's contact form. A phone or a small camera held in the hand is what the ordinary visit is built around. The rooftop is reached by lift, but its uneven surface is not wheelchair-accessible; a platform by the lift provides a partial rooftop view.
