Hence, we highly recommend you wear comfortable clothes and shoes.

You must also carry a hat, sunscreen to protect you from the sun, and lotion when visiting the site during the winter.

If you are on a combo guided tour,

Park Guell does not follow any dress code, but some attractions around it do.
