The courtyards, the Pedrera Apartment (Period Apartment) and the Espai Gaudí (situated in the Attic) can all be visited without difficulty.

The exhibition rooms are reached by a lift from the entrance in the Passeig de Gràcia courtyard. Inside the rooms, there is a stairlift to take you to the reception lobby.

The Auditorium and the Gaudí Room are easily accessible via a broad ramp.

Accessibility for people with impaired vision or hearing
Casa Milà (La Pedrera) offers a range of sensory resources intended to make it easier to understand the exhibits and to ensure access for all audiences.
Thanks to the “Accessible La Pedrera” programme, increasing numbers of sensory resources have been introduced in the museum and gallery spaces and also in the contents of the programme of cultural events and activities. These include interpreting in Catalan Sign Language (LSC) and live subtitling (SPS) at various events, as well as audio descriptions of shows for audience members who are blind or partially sighted.
In this way, the Catalunya La Pedrera Foundation works to achieve its goal of guaranteeing access for all to cultural material.
Tours of the building:
• Audio guides: We have a range of different audio guides that are available in a number of languages to meet visitors’ needs. You can request them free of charge at the audio guide desk, next to the ticket office.
For people with impaired vision, we have a descriptive audio guide. For people with impaired hearing able to lip read, we have audio guides transcribed into text. We also have individual magnetic neckloops for use with the audio guide device.
• Tactile spaces: to make La Pedrera more accessible, we have situated tactile spaces along the entire route of the tour, including models of architectural and sculptural details of both the interior and exterior. There is a model of the whole building in the courtyard off Carrer Provença, where the tour begins, and models of particular features in the Pedrera Apartment (on the fourth floor).
• Tactile plans: on every floor open to visitors, there is a visual and tactile plan that indicates the itinerary of the tour. These 3D plans have legends in three languages in ink, relief and Braille. They are to be found on the ground floor (Provença courtyard), on the Rooftop-terrace, in the Attic (Espai Gaudí) and on the fourth floor (the Pedrera Apartment).

Accessibility for people with learning disabilities
The foundation has taken a further step to support groups of people with cognitive impairment and who need help to understand because of this.
Many of the resources and services provided by the foundation are designed to improve the quality of life of people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.
In the temporary exhibitions at La Pedrera, we offer a range of cognitive stimulation visits and activities that encourage socialising with others and which stimulate the memory before, during and after a visit to the building. In partnership with neuropsychologists, who are familiar with these groups and their needs, we select pieces or themes likely to prove particularly attractive as a means to work on language, orientation, reminiscences, etc.
These resources, created by the participants of the REMS program of the Foundation, are also made available to associations and carers or relatives of people with Alzheimer's, as well as foundations working in the field of cognitive decline that manage day centres and homes that run socialisation programmes to facilitate inclusion and the creative use of leisure time.
