Highly recommend the place is stunning. Even route to get there is beautiful as you can see the city from higher elevations.

Was a pleasure that I visited this park and easy pass way through trip.com booking

The design is very good, and you can see that Mr. Gaudi has put a lot of effort into it. The scenery on the mountain is also very good. Gaudi's residence costs extra money. Because we were short of time, we didn't go in. The whole garden is very large, and we only walked a part of it. Remember to take a taxi directly up the mountain. It is lighter to walk down from the mountain, otherwise it will still be very tiring.

Güell Park is another Gaudi masterpiece, combining nature and architecture. Walking around the park, curved benches and colorful mosaic decorations make it seem like a fairy tale world. The park has many characteristic architecture and sculptures, each full of artistic and creative. Standing high above the park overlooking the entire city of Barcelona, the scenery is very charming. It is suitable for relaxation and photo shoots, and is one of the attractions that Barcelona cannot miss.

Güell Park is full of fairy tales, and Gaudi blends nature and architecture seamlessly. The winding paths, colorful mosaic benches, and roofs like dragon's back, each detail is ingenious. The high point of the park has an excellent view, overlooking the entire Barcelona, and the scenery of the city and the sea and sky is intoxicating. Walking in the park, it feels like traveling in a dream picture, and from time to time you can meet the performances of street artists, adding a lot of life. It is a place that can enjoy the scenery and feel the artistic imagination.

Winter Travel in Southern Europe＿20250121 Sdtky I spent four or five days in Barcelona. I know a man named Gaudi. On the second day in Barcelona, ​​we went to Park Güell. It's very interesting. Entering from a door on the side of the mountain, it feels like walking under a stone castle. The fence is made of overlapping stones, with uneven shapes, as if stones of any size had been randomly chiseled and arranged into walls, pillars, and corridors. It looks like the texture is rough, but if you look closely you will see that it is stacked densely, seamlessly and very sturdy. Going up the hillside, there is a winding and somewhat graceful section, then turning up the mountain, there is an artist playing music at the bend of the mountain, it is quite melodious and soothing, very happy.​ Gaudi is a master architect who started building in Barcelona in the last century. This park was originally a residential project he built for a wealthy man named Guile. In 1922 it was purchased by the state as a park. I don’t know whether the owner went bankrupt or the government had foresight. Anyway, the ticket price of more than 200 yuan can bring a lot of GDP to the Barcelona municipal government every year. We passed the woods on the top of the mountain and went down the winding mountain. Halfway up the mountain, there is a square, which is a 10,000-meter platform. The edge of the ring is built with a whole circle of wavy benches, which serve as both a fence and a place for sitting. A circle of benches, decorated with broken tiles collaged into a painting. Known as the longest bench in the world, it sparkles brilliantly under the sunlight, like an endless underwater world. Yes, it's like walking into the ocean. When you sit on the railing and look out, you can see the Mediterranean Sea in the distance, and at the entrance in front of you, two columnar buildings stand on the left and right, like a candy house. Inside the wall, there are various buildings. There are wide steps leading up the mountain from the entrance, and a decorative path in the middle, which actually depicts a group of animals from the underwater world. The chameleon, with the lizard as its symbol, stands proudly in the center, making people walk into the fairy tale world of dreams. After crossing the hundred steps which are twenty to thirty meters wide, you can enter a hall with a hundred columns. Here, the columns are similar to those inside the Sagrada Familia, but are more decorated with magnetic stickers. The entire park is brightly colored and eye-catching, forming a sharp contrast with the ancient image of the hundreds of years old buildings. Maybe this is due to the magnetic stickers. It is said that Gaudi was also an environmentalist. Many of his architectural decorations, especially this kilometer-long bench, were made up of scraps that Gaudi picked up. Gaudi is considered the soul of the city of Barcelona. Many of his works, such as Casa Batlló, Casa Milà, Sagrada Familia, and Plaza Catalunya, were also his casual creations. Nowadays, the lizard chameleon has also become a city companion sold in small stalls. Gaudi, a master who integrated architecture into nature and incorporated forests, oceans and nature into the human living environment, seems to have remained in the sky of Barcelona city forever.

Park Guell is located in the northwest suburbs of Barcelona. In 1900, the wealthy Count Guell commissioned the famous Gaudi to design a high-end residential community, planning to build 60 garden houses on 200,000 square meters of land; by 1914, after the construction of public facilities such as the gatehouse, market and observation deck, central garden, elevated corridor and some auxiliary rooms, the project came to an end; in 1922, the government invested in the acquisition and reconstruction of the city park and opened it to the public; to this day, it has become a popular tourist attraction in Barcelona. Park Guell, built on the mountain, is like a paradise of high-end art, brilliant and radiant. Two candy houses. On both sides of the gate, the blue and white mushroom-shaped roofs and the candy-like stone houses are the first to take the lead and take tourists into the fairy tale world. Steps and three fountains. A row of steps slowly rises, and the three uniquely shaped fountains on the steps are the treasures of the park. The fountain shapes from bottom to top are: a combination of snake + red and yellow stripes on the Catalan coat of arms, a giant lizard shape, and a combination of ring + compass. The surface of the fountain is made of mosaic tiles, which are bright in color and vivid in shape. In addition to being the theme symbol of the park, the fountain also has a drainage function; when it rains heavily, the lizard and the snake will gush out the water flowing down from the Hall of Hundred Columns, which is particularly vivid and lovely. Hall of Hundred Columns and viewing platform. The top of the steps is the Hall of Hundred Columns, a hall supported by 86 stone columns, which was originally used as an open market; the thick and hollow stone columns cleverly have the functions of support and drainage. The roof of the Hall of Hundred Columns is the biggest highlight of Park Guell-the viewing platform. The stone bench, which is known as the "world's longest", is built on the edge of the platform and is shaped like a winding wave; the chair wall with mosaic fragments has different patterns and implicit meanings. The benches are arranged in different arcs, with single seats, couple seats, and wide multi-person seats. Leaning on the benches and looking out, you can see the Barceloneta Beach, the Sagrada Familia, and other beautiful city scenery, which is unique in its charm. Square corridors. Surrounding the central garden, the corridors are winding and staggered. The stone pillars of the corridors are shaped like elephant legs, palm trees, or human bodies, which are rough and simple, as if they were made by nature.
