What you see inside Casa Batlló
Gaudí rebuilt an existing house between 1904 and 1906 and changed its facade, its room layout and its light well. Inside, hardly a straight line remains. The route runs from the entrance hall and the staircase to the noble floor, down to the light well, up to the white loft and out to the roof.
Not every ticket opens every room. The variants are described below, and you can compare them on the Casa Batlló tickets page. The historic use of a room and what your ticket gives access to today are two different questions.
Which ticket opens which rooms
The four day variants in 2026. Card prices vary with date and how far ahead you book.
| Variant | Card price | Listed access |
|---|---|---|
| Blue | €35 | Audio guide, Gaudí Cube |
| Silver | €40 | Audio guide, Cube, dragon roof |
| Gold | €45 | Adds an AR tablet, the original concierge rooms, the private Batlló flat and the exhibition of Gaudí, Miró and Gomis |
| Platinum | €55 | The same rooms and media as Gold; check the flexible terms |
The Gaudí Dôme is described with the Gold and Platinum visits. Do not assume it for Blue or Silver. The Gold and Platinum rooms are the ones that carry the most history, so they suit anyone who wants to see how the Batlló family lived. For most visitors who mainly want the roof and the light well, Silver is the lowest variant that lists the roof.
Our pick: the rooms before the crowds
The first slot of the day is the best time to see the noble floor and the light well without queues.

Casa Batlló tickets and guided visits
Timed entry, audio guide variants and combinations with other Gaudí houses, with live prices and availability.
The entrance and the noble floor
The house has a shared entrance and a separate entrance for the Batlló family. The wooden staircase has a carved hand rail shaped in organic curves. The noble floor on the first floor holds the study and the main salon.
The study has a mushroom-shaped fireplace. The large salon has a bay window facing the Passeig de Gràcia, organic oak doors, coloured glass and a wavy ceiling. Look at the doors and the glass before you look at the walls.
The blue light well
Gaudí enlarged the existing light well. The tiles are darker blue at the top and lighter at the bottom, which evens out the light that reaches each floor. The windows grow larger toward the bottom, and adjustable wooden slats let air through.
The rear courtyard is a different space. You reach it from the private dining room, and it has ceramic and glass decoration and planters. Do not confuse it with the blue light well or with the roof.
The white loft
The loft was originally a service area with laundry rooms and storage. It is painted white and built as a sequence of 60 catenary arches. The arches are often compared to the ribs of an animal, an image rather than a plan.
Above it, the roof carries four groups of chimneys. Their shape was also meant to stop air flowing back down. The outside of the roof has its own page: facade and roof.
The digital rooms
The Gaudí Dôme by Miguel Alonso and the Gaudí Cube with a work by Refik Anadol were presented in April 2021. They are digital installations, not original rooms of the house. Whether they are part of your visit depends on the variant, as the table above shows.
The evening visit has its own format. The courtyard is included, the roof is not. Details are on the night visit page, and the daily hours are on opening hours.
Timing your visit
Three practical points for the 2026 season.
Your time slot
You cannot enter before the time you booked. From that time you have 15 minutes to get in.
Early entry
The early visit, called Be the First, costs €45. Entry is between 08:30 and 08:45, and the roof is included. For the regular day hours see the opening hours.
Tickets at the desk
Only the General Visit is sold at the desk. It costs €4 to €15 more per ticket than online, so book ahead when you know your date.
