Gaudi - Casa Batllo or La Pedrera

If you had to choose between the two Gaudi buildings, because of time constraints, which is better to visit? Which offers the best tour?
Thank you....

I didn't do a tour for either. I don't think you'd go wrong either way, if that makes you feel any better. That said, I would choose Batllo. More cool stuff to see. For me, 80% of Pedrera was the roof. Batllo was a good hour-plus of cool.

You don't need a tour (not sure if they give tours), but do rent the audioguides. They are well worth it. I basically agree with boyreporter. you can't go wrong either way, but my first choice would be Casa Batllo. The entire interior (all the floors) are amazing & interesting & different. The best thing about La Pedrera is the roof. One floor has a museum, & the other floor is a replica of what the house looked like years ago with furniture, etc.

Gg...I agree with the two posters (It's uncanny, but Kwoo and I almost always agree!!) You can do both buildings, they're very closeby...no tour guide necessary.
