About 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. 6 March–1 November 2026: Monday–Sunday and public holidays 09:00–20:30; night-visit sessions 20:40–22:20.

What's inside

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.

How long to spend

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.

Getting there

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.

What to watch out for

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.

Photography

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.

Common questions

How long does the La Pedrera Essential visit take?

The self-guided visit takes approximately 60–90 minutes.

Do tickets need to be booked in advance?

Advance booking is not compulsory, but the operator strongly recommends it to avoid ticket-office queues, waiting and processing fees.

Must online tickets be printed?

No. The ticket QR code can be presented on a mobile device, and online-ticket holders use the designated entrance.

Can visitors bring a pram or pushchair?

Prams and pushchairs cannot be used during the visit. They may be left at the entrance; the operator recommends a baby carrier for areas such as the rooftop.

What happens to rooftop access when it rains?

The rooftop closes in rain for safety. An unvalidated ticket may be rescheduled to another available date under the operator’s published rain policy.

What are the rules for photography and backpacks?

Flash photography is prohibited. Professional equipment and tripods require prior authorisation. Backpacks must be carried at the front or placed in the free ground-floor lockers.
