First Light at La Pedrera: An Exclusive Japanese Guided Encounter with Gaudí
Enjoy a truly unique experience in Barcelona with early access to Casa Milà (La Pedrera), one of Antoni Gaudí’s most iconic works. Before the building opens to the public, this Japanese guided tour of Casa Milà allows you to explore the monument in complete calm, accompanied by a professional guide speaking Japanese. The soft light of the early morning enhances the building’s organic forms, creating an atmosphere that is both intimate and unforgettable.
The tour begins with an explanation of Casa Milà’s iconic façade, whose undulating stone surface evokes the image of a natural rock formation. Designed in every detail by Gaudí and crafted by skilled artisans, the façade is a perfect introduction to his innovative vision and deep connection with nature. From there, the visit continues inside to the elegant Flower Courtyard, where light and colour play a key role, before reaching the attic—a remarkable space defined by a sequence of brick arches often compared to the interior of a marine animal, and one of the most striking examples of Gaudí’s structural genius.
The true highlight of this Casa Milà (La Pedrera) guided tour in Japanese is the spectacular rooftop. Reaching the top in the quiet of early morning is a powerful moment, as the city lies calm below. Surrounded by Gaudí’s famous sculptural chimneys, ventilation towers and stairwells, the rooftop feels like an open-air museum and is considered one of the most iconic architectural spaces in Barcelona.
From here, enjoy breathtaking 360º panoramic views over Barcelona at its most peaceful time of day. As the morning light gently illuminates the stone and trencadís mosaics, the rooftop becomes the perfect setting to fully appreciate Gaudí’s architectural genius.

1. The facade (8:30 – 8:40)
Casa Milà, popularly known as La Pedrera, alludes to its appearance , like an exposed quarry (pedrera, in Catalan).

2. The Flower Courtyard (8:45 – 8:55)
This courtyard was the main entrance for the owners of the building. A space full of colour and elegance, with floral murals painted on the walls and ceilings. The grand staircase, majestic and enveloping, rises between curved forms and natural light, creating a unique atmosphere.
3. The rooftop (8:55 – 9:15)
