In their words
“The only minor drawback is the ticket price, which is relatively high.”
“My favourite part was the rooftop; the famous chimney sculptures and panoramic views over Barcelona were beautiful”
“Not very crowded and about 1 - 1:45 hours, so it was good for my 7 year old. He loved it!”
“However, the true details are inside the building and worth the entry fee.”
