Park Güell Visita Inclusiva

Accessible information and content

Park Güell in Barcelona offers this technological application with the aim of improving the inclusion and autonomy of all people who visit the park, so that they can enjoy the space with autonomy, comfort and safety, regardless of physical diversity , sensory or cognitive.

Selection of profiles: the mobile application offers the possibility of accessing information on Park Güell resources through six profiles, according to needs: cognitive (intellectual and autistic), sensory (visual and auditory) and physical ( mobility and organic). In addition, it offers a combination of nine of these profiles in case the user has several needs.

Digital maps: once the profile is selected, the user accesses a personalized digital map, without GPS, which allows him to identify where the park's nine main resources, the six complementary resources, the three services, the nine accesses, the three picnic areas and the three calm spaces.
