Visiting Casa Milà

What do you see inside Casa Milà?

The two courtyards, a furnished apartment from 1911, the Espai Gaudí exhibition under the attic arches and the rooftop with its warrior chimneys.

• The facade: more than 6,000 stone blocks from Garraf, Vilafranca del Penedès and Ulldecona, hung on the structure as a curtain wall, with 32 balconies of wrought iron made from scrap iron, bars and chains.
• The Flower Courtyard: the owners' entrance on Passeig de Gràcia, with floral murals overseen by the painter Aleix Clapés and a grand staircase.
• The Butterfly Courtyard: the Provença side, with iron-and-glass gates.
• The apartment: a bourgeois flat of 1911 with period furniture and Gaudí's door handles, mouldings and floors.
• The attic: 270 catenary brick arches, once laundry rooms, now the only exhibition on Gaudí's whole career.
• The rooftop: 29 chimneys in sets of one, two, five or seven, about 4 m tall, plus stairwells and ventilation towers in trencadís.

How long does a visit to Casa Milà take?

About 1 hour 30 minutes for the standard route. La Pedrera's FAQ gives 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes; add 30 minutes for the café or the shop.

• Courtyards, 15 minutes: look up in both light wells before you take the lift.

What is special about the Casa Milà rooftop?

It is Gaudí's sculpture garden: 29 chimneys like helmeted warriors, mosaic towers, one group clad in green champagne-bottle glass, and an arch that frames the Sagrada Família.

The roof rises and falls with the attic arches below it, so you walk up and down steps the whole way round. Look for the chimney group covered in broken green bottle glass, and for the arch that frames the Sagrada Família. Guests often single out that view of the Sagrada Família.

When it rains, the rooftop closes for safety. La Pedrera lets you move an official ticket to another date as long as it has not been scanned yet. On a showery day, keep an eye on the forecast and book with free cancellation.

What is in the attic and the apartment?

The attic holds the Espai Gaudí under 270 brick arches; the apartment shows a bourgeois flat of 1911, with furniture and Gaudí's own details.

The attic was built as laundry and storage rooms. In 1953 the architect Barba Corsini turned it into 14 small flats, and the restoration of the 1990s brought the arches back. Today the Espai Gaudí uses models, plans and videos to explain his whole career, from Casa Vicens to the Sagrada Família.

The apartment is furnished as a well-off family's home in 1911. Look at the floors and the door handles, which Gaudí designed. Roser Segimon, who commissioned the house with her husband Pere Milà, disliked his decoration and had 532.5 m2 of ceilings removed after his death.

When is the best time to visit Casa Milà?

First thing, from 9:00 to 10:00, or after 16:00: La Pedrera's own FAQ names these as the least crowded hours.

Mornings give clear light on the rooftop and quieter rooms. The late afternoon brings warm light, and the Sunset entry is the cheapest ticket of the day. For the quietest rooftop of all, the early-morning guided tour goes in before the doors open.

Until 1 November 2026 La Pedrera opens 9:00 to 20:30 every day, with Night Experience sessions from 20:40 to 22:20. From 2 November 2026 to 25 February 2027 it opens 9:00 to 18:30, and night sessions run from 19:00 to 23:00. La Pedrera closes on 6 July, 7 September and 25 December 2026, and from 11 to 17 January 2027.

Is Casa Milà accessible for wheelchairs and prams?

The public areas are step-free with lifts, and wheelchairs are lent free. The rooftop and the mezzanine are not wheelchair accessible.

A platform at the lift exit gives a view over the rooftop for visitors who cannot use the steps. Ask for a free wheelchair by email before your visit. Prams stay at the entrance, so bring a baby carrier for small children. La Pedrera also runs adapted visits for physical, sensory and cognitive needs.

On the GetYourGuide Sunset listing, one guest with trouble walking thanked "the staff who offered me help (use of the elevator)" (Hans-Jürgen, Oct 2026).

How do you get to Casa Milà?

Take metro L3 or L5 to Diagonal, which comes up a few steps away. FGC Provença - La Pedrera and Renfe Passeig de Gràcia are also close.

La Pedrera is at Passeig de Gràcia 92, on the corner of Carrer de Provença. Buses V15, V17, H10, H8, 7, 22, 24, 6, 33 and 34 stop nearby, and the Passeig de Gràcia - La Pedrera car park is next door.
