- Pre-book Sagrada Família and Casa Batlló online. The T-Casual metro card covers ten journeys and pays off quickly across the city. The rack railway and cable car both queue from mid-morning. Aim for the first departure or after 4 pm. The walk down to the valley takes around 90 minutes. Reserve El Celler de Can Roca up to twelve months ahead. Park outside the city walls and walk in. The old town is compact and best explored on foot. The Dalí House at Port Lligat limits sessions to eight visitors: book online in advance. The approach road from Roses is single-lane in sections. Drive to the coves early to secure parking. Aiguafreda is the most accessible; Sa Tuna is the most sheltered for families. The Vila Vella is pedestrian-only. Park in the main town and walk ten minutes to the fort. Platja de Mar Menuda, north of the headland, is quieter. Take the C-32 toll motorway for the fastest return, around 90 minutes. Return the hire car the following morning to allow for any coastal traffic.
