Park Güell, Barcelona

A day discovering Gaudí’s work

Park Güell is Barcelona’s best-known park and one of Antoni Gaudí’s most remarkable creations. It is an essential stop on a complete visit to the city.

The Park Güell dragon

Gaudí drew inspiration from the plant and animal world. The colourful dragon beside the main staircase, created with the trencadís mosaic technique, has become one of Barcelona’s symbols.
