Today we spent our day at the park and I was so happy that our previous plans fell. Such a wonderful artichtecture. Gaudi siprised me even more with the work of art in this park. The park was crowded but it seems like everyone was enjoying the art and the wonderful views of the city of Barcelona. Just walk through... More

A free way to see some Gaudi whimsy but not much else, this failed housing development turned city park is a pain to get to by public transit though certainly doable and not fun if it is hot outside. It will not be a highlight of anyone's trip, but it's better than sitting in your hotel room.

My friend and I walked through the Gracia neighborhood and window shopped, and worked our way to this park. We were there in the late afternoon, and it was practically overflowing with people. It's a nice stroll throughout, but it can be very hard to spend time looking at or taking pictures of the mosaics with so many other people.... More

I spent the whole day wandering here. Be sure to bring a camera there are some great photo ops! Not many places to get relief from the heat and lots of walking, just a heads up.

I could have stayed for hours exploring this park, but we were short on time, as we were only in the city for one day. Although the park was swarming with people, it is well worth the visit. I loved the colors and the creative shapes. The walk from the closest metro subway station wasn't too bad, about 15 minutes.... More

Other then the large number of tourists there the park is a very interesting way to see and immerse yourself in the beauty of the park , the view of the sea and Barcelona and Gaudis ideas of architecture

A bit of an anti-climax. The gardens are not that beautiful, and the section with Gaudi's work were quite small but altogether not bad!
