Park Güell has a very large forest section which you can visit entirely for free but if you want to see the amazing work created by the architect you will have to pay to go into the Monumental Zone. You can either buy your tickets online or buy them at the tickets offices, directly at the park, but we do advise that you make the purchase online, if you have access to an internet connection. This will save you some time as you will not have to wait in line to get your tickets, only in the line to actually go into the park.

The prices of the tickets to Park Güell are as follows:

Regular ticket: 7,50€ per person or 5,25€ for people over 65 years old, children between 7 and 12 years old, and those who come accompanying a disabled person.
