Park Güell is one of the major works of Gaudí in
Barcelona. It is high on a hill overlooking the city. Above are two views: one from the top of the main structure (that is the Mediterranean out there) and the second one of that structure. What is amazing is that these designs date from the early 1900's.
The least expensive way to get there is to take the bus or the HOHO bus to the bottom of the hill and then walk up to the top. You should go on the internet and get a reserved time and ticket well in advance or you will wait in a long line. A warning about the hill; you need to be in fairly good shape to climb it. Once you are up, there are steps with which to deal.
Another suggestion is to make sure you read up on the artist/builder Gaudi before to go to Barcelona. He is an interesting character and learning about him will help you understand what you are seeing. As for the HOHO (Hop On, Hop Off Bus), there are multiple lines by color but well worth the price to see the city. Lots of hills and things to see.
