Step into a world of fantasy, form, and color at Casa Batlló, one of Antoni Gaudí’s most iconic and imaginative architectural creations. With TPO.Travel’s Flexi Ticket, enjoy the freedom to explore this breathtaking modernist masterpiece at your own pace, while skipping the queues and diving deep into its secrets with an immersive audio guide experience.
Welcome to Gaudí’s Living Masterpiece
Nestled along the prestigious Passeig de Gràcia in the heart of Barcelona, Casa Batlló is not just a building—it’s a living, breathing work of art. Designed by visionary architect Antoni Gaudí in the early 20th century, this iconic house defies conventional design and transforms a family residence into an awe-inspiring journey of architectural innovation.
Unlike any traditional home, Casa Batlló radiates movement, fluidity, and symbolism. Its surreal facade, reminiscent of waves, bones, and scales, has earned it nicknames such as “the House of Bones” and “the Dragon House.” With your TPO.Travel Flexi Ticket, you’ll have the opportunity to enter this dreamlike space whenever it suits your schedule, giving you full control over your experience.

An Immersive Journey Through Casa Batlló
With your audio guide and detailed map in hand, embark on a self-paced tour through five spectacular areas of the house. Each section reveals Gaudí’s brilliant fusion of nature, architecture, light, and color.
1. The Noble Floor
Begin your journey on the Noble Floor, once the primary living quarters of the Batlló family. Step into a space that embodies elegance, luxury, and originality. Giant oval windows open up to Passeig de Gràcia, flooding the interiors with natural light. Marvel at the undulating walls, hand-carved woodwork, and whimsical stained glass windows—each feature designed to blur the lines between the natural and man-made world.
2. The Loft
Next, head to the Loft, originally used as a service area. While humble in its past function, this space showcases Gaudí’s minimalist genius. The sequence of 60 white catenary arches creates a rhythmic, organic tunnel, evoking a ribcage or the hull of a ship. Here, you’ll appreciate Gaudí’s ability to infuse even the most practical areas with grace and creativity.
3. The Roof Terrace
Perhaps the most photographed part of the building, the Roof Terrace is a magical garden of sculptural chimneys and vivid mosaics. The famous dragon’s back, created from colorful ceramic tiles, is said to symbolize the mythical creature from the legend of Saint George (Catalonia’s patron saint). The twisting chimneys, resembling spinning tops or mushroom caps, are designed not only for beauty but also to redirect smoke efficiently.
As you walk the terrace, take in the panoramic views of the city—Barcelona’s rooftops, the sweeping skyline, and, of course, Gaudí’s own Sagrada Família in the distance.
4. The Stairwell and Light Well
Descending into the building, you’ll pass through the communal stairwell and the vertical light well, a masterclass in Gaudí’s understanding of natural illumination. The walls are tiled in varying shades of blue—from deep navy at the top to pale turquoise below—to create a gradient that reflects and diffuses daylight evenly across all floors. Custom-designed stained glass, curved banisters, and skylights enhance the dreamlike quality of the space.
5. The Entrance Hall
Finish your tour in the Entrance Hall, a space that sets the tone for everything that follows. The centerpiece here is the grand, fluid staircase, made from fine hardwood and shaped to resemble the spine of a great sea creature. With its organic curves, shell-like ceilings, and marine-inspired motifs, the hall makes it clear from the first step: this is not just a building—it’s a vision.
Feel Like You’re Inside a Storybook
Every corner of Casa Batlló feels like it’s been lifted from a storybook. Gaudí drew inspiration from nature, Catalan folklore, and his deep Catholic faith, resulting in a structure that’s as symbolic as it is stunning. At times, you may feel like you’re inside a cave, a forest canopy, or even the belly of a mythical beast—an experience no camera can fully capture.
With the audio guide (available in 10 languages including English, Spanish, Catalan, French, German, Italian, Mandarin, Japanese, Russian, and Portuguese), you’ll receive expert insights on each room’s architectural significance, design details, and the hidden meanings behind Gaudí’s work.
