Beautiful display of Gaudi's first major project! We thoroughly enjoyed going as a family. There are ramps, elevators, and changing rooms which is very helpful to families with little ones.Full review by britaingreen

I’ve been coming to Barcelona regularly for over 20 years and this is the first time I’ve come to Casa Vicens. It was an amazing experience - I loved everything about it. The building itself and th…Full review by annekM7912YK
Can I buy ticket at the door? I have a Barcelona card that can get a discount.
A:
There is a ticket office inside the building, prior to the visit entrance, so they should sell tickets. Another thing is that Casa Vicens tries to sell online as many tickets as possible.
How long is a guided tour vs going through the house on your own?
A:
It's a small house, with only a few rooms of any interest. An hour tops without a guide, including the interesting movie on Gaudi. I guess a bit more with a guide.
I was looking to book tickets for this in April 2019 , have they all sold out already as I am unable to select the dates I was looking for ? I wasn't sure if they had sold our or not been released yet , thank you
A:
They probably have not released that far yet. I bought my tickets about a month before the day I chose.
Casa Vicens vs Casa Battlo? Some friends are coming and I would like to take them to see a Gaudí house, either Casa Batllo or newly opened Casa Vicens. I have been to Casa Batllo already, so I am leaning towards Casa Vicens so I don't have to repeat. However I want my friends to see whichever is more impressive. Can you give some idea as to what can be seen inside Casa Vicens and how it compares to Casa Battlo? Thank you!
A:
They are different. I have visited Casa Battlo and a number of Gaudi's other works in the past (and the works of other Catalan modernista masters like Puig i Cadafalch, Domenech i …
They are different. I have visited Casa Battlo and a number of Gaudi's other works in the past (and the works of other Catalan modernista masters like Puig i Cadafalch, Domenech i Montaner). Many of their works are masterpieces in different ways. The earlier works may have different elements of design/styles/techniques that were later further developed in other works. If your friends are first timers to Catalan modernista architecture or Gaudi's works, maybe take them to see Casa Battlo first, if you/they have very little time. I guess you have also seen Sagrada Familia. If you have a bit more time, try visiting Recinte Modernista San Pau (former hospital complex designed by Domenech i Montaner). It will blow your mind. You can also look up information/photos on the internet of the places you have in mind first, and pick the ones you like to go.
