Getting to Casa Batlló at a glance
The easiest way to reach the house is the metro. Passeig de Gràcia is an interchange of lines L2, L3 and L4. The house itself names L3 and L4 in its short list, but L2 stops at the same station, so any of the three works. Several city bus lines also stop close by.
From the airport you can take the Aerobús, the L9 Sud metro with a change, or a train. Book your time slot first, because you cannot enter before the booked time, and you have a 15-minute window after it. See Casa Batlló tickets for the options. The house is open daily, with a last entry at 21:30, which is covered on the opening hours page.
