How early for Park Güell w/self disembark?

[Nanner]

We are arriving in port at 7 AM. We are planning to self disembark in Barcelona, take our luggage by taxi to the hotel (near Passeig de Gracia) and secure our stuff, then get a taxi to Park Güell to start a day of visiting many things Gaudí.

 

What would be the earliest you would advise me to purchase entry tickets to Park Güell? How long does a visit take? Since I'm also hoping to fit in La Pedrera and Casa Batlló, I want to get a good idea of how to time the tours.

 

After finishing at Park Güell, we plan to take Bus 24 to La Pedrera and hoof it from there.

Arriving in port at 7am, means you may be able to get off ship around 7:30 probably. Maybe a little later. Allowing for the stop at the hotel, I'd probably target 10 or 10:30am for Park Guell. You could always explore around your hotel a little if you have time to kill before heading to Park Guell. We spent about 2.5 hours exploring the park at a relatively slow pace.

Thanks for the input. I will have to pack very judiciously to make the self-debarkation possible, but want to spend the whole day taking in Barcelona. We loved our first visit.

 

I plan to purchase advance tickets for Park Güell, La Pedrera and Casa Batlló, so must get the timing sussed out early. I plan to have the taxi drop us at the top of the park (time permitting) and walk down to the monumental area. I hope 10:30 is early enough to beat the worst of the crowds.
