Description
Enrich your visit to the Sagrada Familia on a tour with a certified guide and skip-the-line entry tickets. Learn the basilica's history while admiring stained glass windows and Gaudi's original works.
Join us for an unforgettable 1.5-hour guided tour of the Sagrada Familia, one of Gaudí's most renowned masterpieces. With a group tour, accompanied by a certified guide, you'll experience the dream-like façade and interior of the Basilica.
Your professional guide will meet you 15 minutes prior to the tour at the designated meeting point specified in your voucher, and offer a comprehensive tour of the Sagrada Familia, including an exclusive guided tour of Gaudi's original sketches.
During the tour, you'll learn about the ongoing construction, the current predicted completion date, and the generations of craftspeople, architects, and artists who have brought Gaudi's vision to life.
The tour starts with an introduction by your guide before heading to the Basilica's entrance. You'll hear all about the Nativity Façade, the first completed section of the Basilica, after passing through security.
Inside the Sagrada Familia, marvel at the world created by the intense colored light from the stained glass windows and the branch-like columns extending over the ceiling. Gaudí intended for the interior to resemble a walk through the woods, with the light exuding a sense of sifting through forest leaves.
As you exit the Basilica, your guide will discuss the Passion Façade, representing the story of Jesus' crucifixion. Experience the drama of the Passion through the tower's stark and angular sculptures. This façade, like most of the Sagrada Familia, was built after Gaudí's death.
Next, visit Sagrada Familia Schools, designed for the children of the workers building the Sagrada Familia. Learn how it was reconstructed more than once and even moved locations to make way for the Basilica.
Your final stop will be the Sagrada Familia Museum, where your guide will share original sketches and plans that demonstrate the complexity of Gaudi's architecture and vision. Discover artifacts here from Gaudi's life and the Basilica's own history, such as his upside-down model of the Basilica.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Customers are required to carry an ID as proof of their age.
It's hard to predict when La Sagrada Familia will be crowded. Typically, major attractions experience long queues during peak travel periods, such as summer, weekends, Christmas, Easter, and local holidays. However, by purchasing a skip-the-line ticket, you can bypass the queue if there happens to be one. Unfortunately, it's impossible to predict the exact days and times when lines are likely to form.
To ensure safety, all visitors are required to pass through metal detectors at the security checkpoint. Please anticipate a wait time of approximately 20-30 minutes to clear security.
In order to enter the Sagrada Familia Basilica, visitors are expected to dress appropriately as it is a Catholic church. Tank tops, strapless shirts, short shorts, or sandals are not permitted. Additionally, visitors are not permitted to enter the church wearing clothing intended for celebrations or festivities.
The Guide will be holding a sign “Golden Tour Guide” inside the souvenir shop. The shop also provides restroom facilities.
