Yes Park Guell is worth visiting. Is it a 'must-see'? In our opinion, perhaps not a total 'must-see' because of the location.

Parts of the Park Guellare free to visit and walk in, but the famous Gaudí structures are in the'monumental zone'and are not free.We recommend buying 'skip-the-line'Park Guell tickets to avoid long lines, as admission to the monument area islimitedto 400 people an hour at peak visiting times.In the free area there is a nice view point with a view of the city and many paths to stroll, but in our opinion, you can find better views of Barcelona from eitherMontjuic hillorTibidabo hill.
