Other means of transport to get to Park Güell

The park is out of the way. It is important to plan your visit carefully so that you arrive at the time indicated on your ticket:

• The hop-on hop-off tourist bus (blue route) which we mentioned in two of our combined Park Guell entrance tickets, drops you off just a stone's throw from Park Güell which is nice. The stop is on the Travessera de Dalt, a 10-minute walk away, and it is recommended that you get there via La Carrer de Larrard (main entrance).
• Bus 24 leaves from Plaça Catalunya and leaves you not far from the park. Other bus lines are: H6, 32 and 92.
• By taxi, it's very convenient and fast but a bit expensive. From the city centre it costs 13-16 euros. Same price for the return trip. There is a taxi rank at the main entrance.
