The dangerous broken trees must be removed in order to assure a safe visit, that's why a large part of the park has been closed (however, it's NOT the most spectacular part).
The repair works might last weeks, and they have forced to close 2 of the park entrances, one of them often used by tourist arriving by L3 subway line from Vallcarca Station. This is why I reccomend to AVOID that access or you'll have to walk a long way before reaching the next open entrance.
The only two open gates right now are the Main Entrance (Olot st.) and the Side Entrance in the Carretera del Carmel.
So how should you get to the Park until the works are over? Here are my reccomendations:
- Taxi: from the city center it should cost you around 6 euro.
- Bus 29 (stops in Plaça Catalunya and Passeig de Gràcia) or Bus 92 (stops in Vila Olímpica and Sagrada Familia) to the Side Entrance in Carretera del Carmel. The Park Güell stop is easy to identify: a little after the road starts climbing the hill and you start seeing the city roofs, the road goes into a wide curbe. The park will be to your left, and a turist bus parking to the right.
- L3 Subway, Lesseps stop. Not my favorite choice, as you'll have to walk 30 minutes to reach the Main entrance.
- My insiders tip: L4 Subway to Joanic, then switch to 116 Minibus. In 5 minutes you'll be passing the Main Entrance of the Park. There is a stop right after it.
I'll keep you posted about the works!
