Seated in the heart of the main shopping district, along with numerous big brand stores, Casa Batlló is always the sparkle of attention. Depending on your season of visit or if there is any popular festival around the corner, you’ll be lucky to see the building all dressed up in celebration of the coming joyous moment.

On a normal day, Casa Batlló looks like a garden inspired building while on a normal night, it turns into a magical building. Whatever the day or time of the year, Casa Batlló definitely stands out completely amongst its neighbours.

very fairytale-like feel.
