Overview
Park Güell is ticketed and capped: access is limited to 1,400 visitors per hour, and a ticket gives entry to the monumental area, the green area and the viewpoints. You book a time, the reservation is held for 30 minutes after it, and once you leave you cannot go back in. The general ticket is €18 on the official site, where tickets can be bought up to three months ahead.
Missed the window? Book a guided visit with entry included
Licensed operators hold their own allocation of tickets. A guided visit is the realistic way in when the official release is gone — and you skip the queue.

Without a ticket you may not get in at the time you want, especially in spring and summer. Late-morning and sunset slots go first. If the day is full, a guided visit that includes admission is the fallback; Barcelona residents can enter free with a Passi Verd reservation.
