Another Gaudi Masterpiece
My husband and I visited Casa Batllo on a whim after a friend of a friend had suggested visiting as it was her favourite landmark in Barcelona. As it was only a short walk from our hotel, we thought we may as well. We bought tickets online 15 minutes ahead of time. We treated ourselves to Gold tickets as we were able to jump the queue and there were a few added extras which included a tablet guided tour and a tour of the private residences of the Batllos. For the queue jump alone, I thought it was worth it. Casa Batllo itself is very special. The architecture and design, by Gaudi, is so interesting and so beautiful. The explanations as you walk through the building via the audio tour were well explained and made it very enjoyable. The building is just beautiful on the inside, just as it is on the outside, so I would definitely recommend visiting, especially if you're interested in the works of Antoni Gaudi.

5 for Casa minus one for the fee = 4 stars
In one word - both, the exterior and interiors of this Gaudi masterpiece are simply amazing, unique, unusual and interesting. It's an ex apartment house now converted into an astonishing (and very expensive) museum. As it's highly popular they can raise the prices until they want, so my suggestion is to book online - you'll get a guaranteed place and save some money than buying them at the counter. Last time I was here 10y ago entry fee was around the half with everything included. Anyway, a place not to be missed....and...they count on you.
