I guess you could say this was my Hansel and Gretel moment. The two houses at the park entrance I believe are as close as you can get to the fairy tale in real life. The Monumental Zone of the park is not particularly big, but the playful architecture of Antoni Gaudi is so impressive that it makes the park a massive attraction. In addition to the famous buildings there are, among other things, lovely sculptures, a huge terrace with nice views of the city, and two different kinds of colonnades – one of the traditional kind (as conventional as it is possible in the world of Gaudi), and one very remarkable, untraditional one.
The Güell Park is pretty big, so it would be wise to make sure that you enter from the front of the park, at the Monumental Zone, and not from the back of the park, as I ended up doing…

My dear Barcelona! I am from there but haven’t lived there for 11 years… I have been several times in Park Güell and never get tired of it. Thanks for sharing, it brings me nice memories!
#MondayEscapes
Happy to bring you great memories 🙂 Love it as well!
I love Guell Park, I went there on both my visits to Barcelona, it was the perfect place to spend my birthday 🙂
Then you definitely had a great birthday 🙂 Love it too!
Ohhh I remember this place. Funny because I have been to Barcelona 3 times, but I went there only on the first time, and it was a looong time ago 😀
I love all work of Gaudi, it’s stunning!
Thank you joining #MondayEscapes
At least you made it there the first time 🙂 I needed a second visit to get me there. Gaudi fan here as well!
hahaha but you made it, that’s what matters 😀
I need to return there, because since the first time I didnt go again and dont have a nice picture of it 🙁
Wow, you’ll be going back for a pic only! That is dedication 🙂
hahaha not only for the pic though, but to see it again, maybe with my hubby as he doesn’t know Barcelona well. 😀
He should see it! And you should get your pic 😉
hahaha yesss 😀
Park Guell is gorgeous isn’t it? I remember taking around 300 photographs there! 😀
It is perfect! Wow, that’s a lot of pics 🙂 Many incredible motifs to choose from though!
I absolutely love Park Guell!! I’d love to go back! Barcelona is amazing in general! #MondayEscapes
Me too! I’m one of those who usually don’t go back to places, unless I feel I didn’t get to do all I wanted to first time around… Barcelona is definitely nice, but I prefer Madrid. Somehow it feels more authentic, more Spanish…
Eeee! How cool is that Hansel and Gretel moment?! I love it!
Me too! I just wanted to bite into the houses the first time I saw them 🙂
Parc Guell was one of my favourite parts of Barcelona 🙂 Loved all of Gaudi’s architechture all over Barcelona!
xo, Laura
My first visit to Barcelona was a work trip, so I didn’t get to see all the Gaudi I wanted 🙂 For that reason I had to go back.
Oh wow! I really want to go to Barcelona just so see Gaudi’s stunning architecture! #MondayEscapes
I love Gaudi! It it so colorful, fun, different – just pure delight!
I love Park Guell! I missed it on my first visit to Barcelona, but on the second one it was on my list!! It’s so colorful!
I missed it on my first trip there as well 🙂 One of the reasons I had to go back!
Wow, that IS whimsical! Thanks for sharing!
It sure is 🙂 All of his buildings/creations are fantastic. Gaudi is my no. 1 favorite thing about Barcelona.
