Booking choice: The Casa Vicens ticket, from $27 per person. Check dates Tour details
Casa Vicens is Gaudí's first house, built from 1883 to 1885 as a summer home for the stockbroker Manuel Vicens in what was then the separate town of Gràcia. It has been a museum only since 16 November 2017, and it sells a short list of tickets: a self-guided visit with a free audio guide, a guided visit in a small group, and a self-guided visit with an ice cream in the garden café.
This guide covers what each ticket costs in 2026, who pays less or nothing, why booking a time slot ahead pays off, and which GetYourGuide options add free cancellation or a guide.
The quick answer
The self-guided visit costs €22 (€20 reduced) and the guided visit €24 (€22 reduced), per Barcelona City Council's listings; under-11s go free. Casa Vicens says online prices are lower than at the ticket office, where sales depend on availability. On GetYourGuide, the skip-the-line ticket starts at US$27 with 4.7 stars from 5,872 reviews, and the guided tour also starts at US$27. Both cancel free up to 24 hours before.
How much are Casa Vicens tickets in 2026?
€22 for an adult self-guided visit and €24 for the guided visit, according to Barcelona City Council's listings. Reduced tickets cost €20 and €22, and children under 11 enter free.
Casa Vicens sells its own tickets through a booking widget on its website; Barcelona City Council's listings give the 2026 rates below. Casa Vicens adds one rule worth knowing: buying online is cheaper than buying at the ticket office, where tickets are "subject to availability and an economic surcharge".

| Self-guided visit | €22 | €20 | Any day and time slot, free audio guide on your phone in 16 languages |

What is the difference between the self-guided and the guided ticket?
The self-guided ticket lets you go round at your own pace with the free audio guide. The guided visit adds an expert who explains each room to a group of up to 12.
With the self-guided visit, you scan a QR code, the audio guide opens on your phone over the free WiFi, and you move through the house in whatever order and at whatever speed you like. It comes in 16 languages, from Catalan and Spanish to Korean, Arabic and Hebrew. Bring your own earphones.
The guided visit lasts 60 to 75 minutes, takes at most 12 people and runs in Catalan, Spanish, English, French, Italian, Chinese and Japanese. On GetYourGuide, the Casa Vicens guided tour is led by an in-house expert, comes in a small group of up to 10 or a standard group of up to 12, and lets you stay in the house as long as you like afterwards. Guests name the guides Laura and Marc. One wrote: "Visiting Casa Vicens with a guide made the experience much better" (Aurora, Sep 2026).


An in-house expert takes a small group through Casa Vicens room by room, then the house is yours for as long as you want. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

Do you need to book Casa Vicens tickets in advance?
Yes, it is the better plan. Every ticket is for a fixed time slot, online prices are lower, and the ticket office only sells what is left.
Entry is at the time printed on your ticket, and once you are inside there is no re-entry, so treat the slot like a train time. The ticket office opens at 9:30, while the house itself opens at 9:00, and box-office sales come with a surcharge.
Booking ahead also lets you choose between morning and afternoon for the guided tour, which runs "subject to availability in morning or afternoon hours", as the GetYourGuide listing puts it.

Lock in your time slot now and keep your plans flexible: free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Check dates for the Casa Vicens ticketIs the Casa Vicens skip-the-line ticket on GetYourGuide a good choice?
Yes, for most visitors. It is a timed skip-the-line entry with the official audio guide and the exhibitions, rated 4.7 from 5,872 reviews, from US$27 with free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
The skip-the-line ticket gives you an open visit on the day and at the time you choose, access to the audio guide in 16 languages, the permanent and temporary exhibitions and a discount in the gift shop. The tour is accessible for people with reduced mobility. There is no guide, headphones are not included, and the meeting point is the door at Carrer de les Carolines 20.
The free cancellation is the real reason to book here. Casa Vicens' own tickets cannot be changed or refunded unless the visit is cancelled or you bought cancellation protection, while this one cancels free up to 24 hours before. Guests like how simple it is: "No line, went straight in. Really enjoyed the audio guide" (Chloe, Oct 2026).

Explore the Casa Vicens ticket Tour detailsWhat other tickets does Casa Vicens sell, like Sweet Gaudí or workshops?
Casa Vicens also sells Sweet Gaudí, the self-guided visit with an artisan ice cream, and a few workshops: a Drawing Visit, a Ceramic Workshop and a family activity.
Sweet Gaudí is the self-guided visit plus a mango or pistachio ice cream in the garden café. The café and the shop are for ticket holders only, so the ice cream is a pleasant way to sit in the garden after the rooftop. Check the current price on Casa Vicens' own site.
The house also lists a Drawing Visit for adults at €44 (about 4 hours, 10:00 to 14:00), a 90-minute Ceramic Workshop with Manel Diestre at €31 with the visit included, and Cromoteca Gaudí, a family activity at €9.50. Check dates on Casa Vicens' own site; they suit a slower day in Gràcia.

Can you combine Casa Vicens with other Gaudí houses on one ticket?
Casa Vicens does not sell a combined ticket on its own site. To see it with La Pedrera and Casa Batlló in one go, the 3 Gaudí Houses Tour includes all three admissions, from US$133.
The 3 Gaudí Houses Tour starts at Casa Vicens and walks down to Passeig de Gràcia in about 3 hours, with one guide in English, Chinese, Japanese or Korean, in a small group (the inclusions say up to 12, the group-size note up to 15). At Casa Vicens it covers the garden and the main floor; at La Pedrera the ground-floor patios, the rooftop and the tenant's apartment; at Casa Batlló the main vestibule and the noble floor. Guests mention the guide Jane again and again: "There is no way we could have seen this three houses so quickly and learned so much" (Stephanie, Oct 2026).
If you want the bedrooms, the attic exhibition and the rooftop at Casa Vicens too, book the self-guided ticket for one day and the other houses for another. With a private guide, the private tour of Casa Milà and Casa Vicens includes skip-the-line tickets to both, from US$175.

Casa Vicens, La Pedrera and Casa Batlló with one guide in about 3 hours, all three admissions included, in a small group.
Explore the 3 Gaudí houses tour Tour detailsWhen can you use a Casa Vicens ticket: hours and closures?
Every day of the year except a few closures: 9:00 to 20:00 from March to October and 9:00 to 18:00 from November to February, with the last entry 1 hour 15 minutes before closing.
Casa Vicens opens every day, Mondays included: 9:00 to 20:00 from March to October and 9:00 to 18:00 from November to February. The ticket office opens at 9:30, and the last entry is 1 hour 15 minutes before closing, at 18:45 in summer and 16:45 in winter. It closes on 25 December and from 7 to 14 January 2027, and on a few announced days: closed all day on 16 November 2026, with an early closing on 26 November 2026. Visitors are asked to leave 15 minutes before closing, so a late slot leaves you about an hour inside.
The hours and closures post keeps the winter dates in one place, and the visiting guide covers the route room by room.
In our experience early slots tend to be quieter. Book yours with free cancellation up to 24 hours before if your plans move.
