Casa Vicens was the first architecturall project by Antonio Gaudi. The building was a summer house for Manuel Vicens. The design was very bright for any building and the tour highlights the features …Full review by Kenneth L

Beautiful display of Gaudi's first major project! We thoroughly enjoyed going as a family. There are ramps, elevators, and changing rooms which is very helpful to families with little ones.Full review by britaingreen
How long is a guided tour vs going through the house on your own?
A:
It's a small house, with only a few rooms of any interest. An hour tops without a guide, including the interesting movie on Gaudi. I guess a bit more with a guide.
I was looking to book tickets for this in April 2019 , have they all sold out already as I am unable to select the dates I was looking for ? I wasn't sure if they had sold our or not been released yet , thank you

I got my tickets online a couple of months before, but 2 weeks before visit, a special offer for 7 euros each popped up on line, which was very disappointing !!! Casa Battlo, or La Pedara are MUCH better value for money,I think...
Casa Vicens vs Casa Battlo? Some friends are coming and I would like to take them to see a Gaudí house, either Casa Batllo or newly opened Casa Vicens. I have been to Casa Batllo already, so I am leaning towards Casa Vicens so I don't have to repeat. However I want my friends to see whichever is more impressive. Can you give some idea as to what can be seen inside Casa Vicens and how it compares to Casa Battlo? Thank you!

They are different. I have visited Casa Battlo and a number of Gaudi's other works in the past (and the works of other Catalan modernista masters like Puig i Cadafalch, Domenech i Montaner). Many of their works are masterpieces in different ways. The earlier works may have different elements of design/styles/techniques that were later further developed in other works. If your friends are first timers to Catalan modernista architecture or Gaudi's works, maybe take them to see Casa Battlo first, if you/they have very little time. I guess you have also seen Sagrada Familia. If you have a bit more time, try visiting Recinte Modernista San Pau (former hospital complex designed by Domenech i Montaner). It will blow your mind. You can also look up information/photos on the internet of the places you have in mind first, and pick the ones you like to go.
