Gaudí remodelled an existing house for the Batlló family; the result has almost no straight lines. The lightwell is tiled in shades of blue so that light reaches the lower floors evenly, and the roof terrace is shaped like a dragon's back. The augmented-reality guide explains the details, and the attic shows how the structure was built. Timed tickets are cheaper online; the first slot at 9:00 and the last two hours are the calmest.
The details official guides skip — save time, avoid crowds, and get better photos.
