A truely interesting visit to Gaudi’s first project. Well preserved and with the easy audio guide on your phone, you can select which rooms to see when and hear what. Further it does not seem overc… Full review by 417henrikj

Not sure why my wife and I were charged 44 Euros for the basic, self-guided tour. They can apparently be bought for much, much less. On their official website prices are between 18 and 20 Euros each.… Full review by Max_Zappa

I think so. I see, to recall a kiosk at the door inside the house

Q:
How long is a guided tour vs going through the house on your own?
A:
It's a small house, with only a few rooms of any interest. An hour tops without a guide, including the interesting movie on Gaudi. I guess a bit more with a guide.

Q:
Casa Vicens vs Casa Battlo? Some friends are coming and I would like to take them to see a Gaudí house, either Casa Batllo or newly opened Casa Vicens. I have been to Casa Batllo already, so I am leaning towards Casa Vicens so I don't have to repeat. However I want my friends to see whichever is more impressive. Can you give some idea as to what can be seen inside Casa Vicens and how it compares to Casa Battlo? Thank you!

They are different. I have visited Casa Battlo and a number of Gaudi's other works in the past (and the works of other Catalan modernista masters like Puig i Cadafalch, Domenech i …
A:
They are different. I have visited Casa Battlo and a number of Gaudi's other works in the past (and the works of other Catalan modernista masters like Puig i Cadafalch, Domenech i Montaner). Many of their works are masterpieces in different ways. The earlier works may have different elements of design/styles/techniques that were later further developed in other works. If your friends are first timers to Catalan modernista architecture or Gaudi's works, maybe take them to see Casa Battlo first, if you/they have very little time. I guess you have also seen Sagrada Familia. If you have a bit more time, try visiting Recinte Modernista San Pau (former hospital complex designed by Domenech i Montaner). It will blow your mind. You can also look up information/photos on the internet of the places you have in mind first, and pick the ones you like to go.
