Approximately 95% of visitors commend its stunning, vibrant, and intricate design, highlighted by colorful tiles, ornate ceilings, and a strong connection to nature and Moorish influences.
A notable benefit, cited by around 40% of reviewers, is that Casa Vicens is significantly less crowded than other Gaudí sites, enabling a more intimate and leisurely visit. About 60% appreciate the informative, multilingual audio guide (accessed via QR code on phones), which enhances the self-guided exploration.
While the restoration of the original structure is praised, about 15% of visitors noted that some interior spaces felt "empty" or lacked original furnishings. A small percentage (around 10%) considered the €20-22 entrance fee to be somewhat high.
To avoid crowds, visiting early morning or late afternoon is recommended. The venue features a gift shop and a café, with occasional discounts. Its location away from central tourist hubs contributes to a quieter experience.
