What the night visit includes, exactly
The Night Experience is not "the daytime visit with less light". It's a format of its own: you go in once the building has closed to the general public, and a guide walks you through the key spaces of Antoni Gaudí's work, from the entrance hall to the light wells, telling you what the daytime videoguide sums up in two sentences.
The finale is what justifies the booking: you go up to the rooftop after dark and the "espanta-bruixes" chimneys become the screen for an audiovisual show projected onto the shapes of the building itself, with Barcelona lit up behind. The evening closes with a glass of cava included in the price.
- Guided visit in Catalan, Spanish, English or Chinese: you choose the session by language when booking.
- Audiovisual projection on the rooftop, exclusive to the night format.
- Glass of cava at the end of the route.
- Dinner option: there is a version that adds dinner to the visit, bookable as a combined product from the same link.
From €39.50 per adult according to the official site lapedrera.com. The exact fares and formats for each date appear in the booking widget.
How it differs from the daytime visit
The two visits share a building and little else. The daytime one is a self-guided route with a videoguide; the night one is a guided visit with a show. This table sums up what changes.
| Daytime visit (Essential) | Night Experience | |
|---|---|---|
| Price from | €29 | €39.50 |
| Timings | 9:00 – 17:30 | Sessions 20:40 – 22:20 |
| Format | Self-guided, videoguide in 11 languages | Guided (ca/es/en/zh), small group |
| Spaces | Courtyards, period apartment, Espai Gaudí, rooftop | Its own route, ending on the rooftop |
| Extras | — | Audiovisual show + glass of cava |
| Crowds | Busiest between 10:30 and 16:00 | Capped capacity per session |
| Tiqets rating | 4.7/5 | 4.4/5 |
Which to choose? If this is your first encounter with La Pedrera and you want to see everything at your own pace — including the Espai Gaudí attic with its 270 brick arches — start with the daytime visit. The night version shines as a second visit, as a couples' plan, or when your daytime schedule is already full of Sagrada Família and Casa Batlló. Compare every format on the ticket prices page.
Is €39.50 worth paying for the night visit?
It depends what kind of evening you want. The 4.4/5 rating on Tiqets sits a little below the 4.7 of the daytime ticket, and the reviews split along predictable lines: anyone expecting "the full visit after dark" misses parts of the daytime route; anyone who came for the night rooftop and the show leaves delighted.
Our take: the Night Experience is among the best things you can do in Barcelona after 20:00 for under €50. The rooftop with the chimneys lit and the city glowing below is an image the daytime visit simply cannot produce, and the capped capacity per session changes the atmosphere entirely: no queue for the photo, no noise from tour groups.
Two alternatives if you're unsure: the Sunset entry from €25 gives you golden hour for less money and without a guide, and the Sunrise visit (€39.50) hands you an empty rooftop at 8:00 in the morning. We compare them in detail on the sunrise and sunset page.
Practical tips for the night visit
Photos after dark
Turn on your phone's night mode and lean on the railings to steady the shot: tripods are impractical on the route. The lit chimneys with the skyline behind are the photo of the evening.
What to bring
The rooftop is an open roof: even in summer there's a breeze at 22:00, and from October to April you need a proper coat. Comfortable shoes too — there are stairs and constant changes of level.
Arrive with time to spare
Turn up at the Provença corner entrance 10-15 minutes before your session. Guided visits leave on time; if you miss yours, there's no guarantee of a place on another.
Plan B for rain
In rain or strong wind the rooftop may close for safety and the experience is adapted. If the forecast looks bad and your fare allows it, change the date in advance.
How to build a proper night out in the Eixample
- 19:00 — Walk down Passeig de Gràcia. With the shops still open and the facades starting to light up, walk down to Casa Batlló (500 m) and back: two Gaudí buildings after dark, free, from the pavement.
- 19:45 — Aperitif near Provença. Carrer Enric Granados and Carrer València, 5 minutes from the building, are lined with vermouth and wine bars with fewer tourists than the main avenue.
- 20:25 — Arrive at La Pedrera. Visitor entrance on the Provença corner, ticket on your phone, then straight to your session. Metro Diagonal (L3/L5) or FGC Provença if you're coming from another neighbourhood.
- 20:40-22:20 — Night Experience. Guided visit, the rooftop show and a glass of cava with a darkened Barcelona all around you.
- 22:30 — Late dinner. If you didn't pick the dinner version, the Eixample serves until 23:00 without any trouble. Book a table: the good places in the neighbourhood fill up midweek too.
Prefer early mornings? The same building without the crowds also exists at 8:00: see the Sunrise visit. And if you still don't have a daytime ticket, here are the tricks for getting in without queueing.
Casa Milà night tour — FAQ
How much does the Casa Milà night visit cost?
From €39.50 per adult according to the official site lapedrera.com, with the guided visit, the audiovisual show on the rooftop and a glass of cava included. The dinner version is booked as a separate product; its price appears in the booking widget.
What time does it start and how long does it last?
Sessions run between 20:40 and 22:20; in winter they start earlier because it gets dark sooner. The exact time for your date is shown when you book.
What languages is the guided visit in?
Catalan, Spanish, English and Chinese, according to the official website. You pick the session in your language when booking; places per language are limited.
Is it worth it compared with the daytime visit?
They are different experiences: the daytime one (from €29) shows more of the building on a self-guided route; the night one adds the rooftop show, the cava and far smaller numbers. As a second visit or a special evening plan, the Night Experience wins; as a first encounter with Gaudí, the daytime one.
Can I take photos during the show?
Yes. Use your phone's night mode and steady yourself on the railings; a tripod isn't practical on the route. Best shots: the lit chimneys with the skyline, and the projection over the shapes of the building.
What happens if it rains or it's windy?
The rooftop may close for safety and the experience is adapted or relocated as staff decide. If the forecast is poor and your fare allows it, change the date before the visit.
Is it suitable for children?
There's no age restriction, but it is a guided visit at night with a late finish, aimed more at adults and couples. With small children the daytime visit usually works better, and there children aged 0 to 11 go free according to the official website.
Can I cancel or change my booking?
It depends on the fare you choose. Many tickets sold through Tiqets allow free cancellation up to 24 hours before; look for the "free cancellation" condition on the booking page before you pay.
