A hidden gem in Barcelona
We loved our visit to Casa Vicens - the first house that Gaudi designed. It was so beautiful and you really got a sense of Gaudi as a visionary. The house is a burst of color and pattern that exudes joy. We spent about a little over an hour there. It is also a great value compared to some of the other Gaudi homes you can tour. Overall I highly recommend Casa Vicens

Beautiful House
This is a beautiful house with some interesting and unusual design features. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The ticket we purchased included a caramel roll at the end, and it was very flavorful… We went in early afternoon on a week day and the place was practically empty, so it does not look like a lot of people know about it. My reason for 4 stars and not 5 is pricing. This is still expensive at €21 per person. The price of admission would have been fair at €12-€14 specially with other places like Guell Palace which is far more beautiful and has more to offer for €12. The Catalan Music Palace costs €16 and has a lot more to offer than here also. Of all the Gaudi properties we visited (worth seeing) and liked, this one is the most humble (simple) and last on our list. If you are pressed for time, it is ok to skip it…
