Park Guell

[gillyg]

Hello all.

we have booked tickets for Park Guell (our entry time is 10.30 a.m.).

Our plan is to be off the ship for 10 a.m. and get a taxi to the Park.

Is that enough time?

also can we walk to Sagrada Familia from there after we have finished at the park?

thanks in advance

I think 30 minutes should be good for taking a taxi to the Parc. We walked from Parc Guell to La Sagrada and it was about a 35 minute walk... downhill which is a good thing. We stopped for a bite to eat about half way... would not recommend where we stopped. There seemed to be nicer restaurants along a pedestrian street close to La Sagrada. Do you have tickets for La Sagrada - ?? I would recommend getting tickets for that also.

 

Enjoy!

thanks for that. slightly 'dumb' question, but is it a straightforward route from the park to sagrada? will we get lost?:confused:

Sagrada Família is 2,5km on a gentle downhill slope from Park Güell, so say, 40' walk. Having said that, I always advise to detour a bit and visit the neighbourhood of Gràcia, have lunch there and then head to the Sagrada Família for an early afternoon visit, say 3:30-4:00 when it's (or might be) slightly less crowded.

Fantastic advice! Thanks so much for posting all of this! Do you know anything about a solar festival in June?

https://sonar.es/en/2018/tickets :cool: ... however, the final program won't be published until waaaay into 2018. This is a large festival with many groups and artists -as you can see in the 2017 program- so it has a very complex organisation which means the program is not out until the closer to the date of the festival. Here some info for a past edition: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/18/arts/music/sonar-barcelona-festival-best-performances.html?mcubz=1
