About the attraction
Choose the house-only ticket if Casa de los Balcones itself is your priority and you want the simplest, cheapest way to visit. You get the preserved architecture, courtyard and museum rooms with audio interpretation without paying for an additional attraction. It works especially well for independent travellers already exploring La Orotava or making a short trip from Puerto de la Cruz.
Who is it for
Best for couples, families and independent culture-focused travellers interested in traditional Canarian architecture, carved woodwork and historic domestic life. It suits visitors already walking La Orotava’s old town and anyone who prefers a self-paced museum visit to a scheduled guided tour.
Who should skip it
Choose the Casa de los Balcones + Gofio Mill combination if you also want to visit the historic Molino de Gofio del Hoyo. Choose a live guided tour if you prefer in-person interpretation rather than an audio guide. Travellers who need fully step-free access should confirm the accessible route before booking because the upper historic areas are limited by the original staircase.
What to expect
Go to Casa de los Balcones at Calle San Francisco 3 in La Orotava and present your mobile ticket.

Explore the courtyard, wooden balconies, historic rooms, library and displays connected with traditional Canarian crafts and domestic life. The downloadable audio guide is currently available in English, French, German and Spanish.

The venue recommends around 50 minutes for the audio-guided route, although you can move at your own pace.

Accessibility is partial because of the historic building. The venue says lower visitor areas and the wine-press section can be accessed by visitors with reduced mobility, while the old spiral staircase to the upper level is not accessible.
