Is Casa Amatller Worth a Stop on Passeig de Gràcia?
Casa Amatller stands on the Illa de la Discòrdia on Passeig de Gràcia, right beside Gaudí's Casa Batlló, yet it draws only a fraction of that queue. Josep Puig i Cadafalch built this stepped-gable mansion for chocolate maker Antoni Amatller, and the family's home survives largely as they left it, stained glass, staircase and all. This guide covers what the ticket includes, what you'll see inside, and how to fit a visit into a day among the museums in Barcelona.

Quieter than Casa Batlló next door but just as beautiful inside. The video guide made the family history easy to follow.
Loved the photography studio upstairs, a detail I never expected. The chocolate tasting at the end was a nice touch.
Good priority entry, no line at all. The stained glass in the main rooms is worth the ticket on its own.
