Park Guell in Barcelona – Tickets to See Gaudí
Park Guell in Barcelona began charging an entrance fee in 2013 in a bid to restrict access and conserve the most iconic sections of the park.

(BTW The entry fee is waived for local residents who have footed the maintenance bills since it opened as a a public park in the 1920s.)
