2.La Pedrera – Casa Mila Sunrise: Early Morning Access

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 43 reviews · 1 hour 15 minutes (approx.) · from $47

Meet your English-speaking guide at 8:30 am for early entry to Casa Milà. In a small group, explore Gaudí’s courtyards, a recreated bourgeois apartment, rooftop chimneys, and the Espai Gaudí exhibition before the main crowds arrive.

“Well worth the early start to do this tour - no-one else around and we had special access to the roof and saw the sun rise over Barcelona. Walking through one of the apartments was a big plus. The tour was comprehensive and our guide was excellent.”
