Description
Gaudí’s La Sagrada Familia church is known for being one of Barcelona’s most iconic buildings. Being such a popular attraction can mean long visitor lines. Take the stress out of being stuck in crowds by having a skip-the-line entrance ticket included. You’ll get straight inside and have a guide to take you around this spectacular building. Learn about Gaudí and the bizarre yet magnificent techniques he used to design the building.
Personalize your Sagrada Familia tour with either an sunset Cava toast or exclusive early morning entry to Casa Batlló. Select the Sagrada Familia Tour with Cava at time of booking to start your tour off by toasting with a glass of cava from a chic rooftop terrace overlooking the UNESCO World Heritage site. Choose the Casa Batlló Early Entry & Sagrada Familia option at time of booking for exclusive early entry to Casa Batlló without the crowds and then skip the line into the stunning Sagrada Familia as sunlight floods the basilica.
With no reliable ticket sales onsite, tickets to La Sagrada Familia must be purchased online in advance. On this express tour we guarantee your entrance. Traveling with an expert guide you’ll get more from your visit too, learning about the architecture & the fascinating man behind it: Antoni Gaudi.
If you choose the Casa Batlló Early Entry & Sagrada Familia option at time of booking, you'll start your morning with exclusive early entry to Casa Batlló and explore this Gaudí masterpiece alone with just your tour group for an entire hour without the public. Then, you'll skip the line into the stunning Sagrada Familia as sunlight floods the basilica on a full guided tour.
If you select the Sagrada Familia Tour with Cava at time of booking, your tour will start with a glass of cava and stunning views of the basilica from a rooftop terrace. Toast with your guide and group of travelers before exploring the Sagrada Familia for yourself in the beautiful evening light.
Otherwise your tour starts right by La Sagrada Familia, where you’ll see the basilica in all of its majesty. Hear from your guide what work remains to be finished, then skip lines to get straight inside. As you move between columns designed like trees, your guide will explain how Gaudí developed his style from both religious, natural, and Catalonian influences. Learn about his innovative use of light as you bask in the colourful glow of stained-glass windows that fill the sanctuary with an otherworldly atmosphere.
Only an extraordinary mind could create such a building. You’ll learn all about the strange life of Gaudí, how he rose from humble beginnings to the top of society, then retreated from the limelight to build his basilica, ending in a death that nearly went unnoticed by the world. After a quick visit to the highlights of the museum, your guide will give you information on what else you should see, including the crypt, before you leave.
The Sagrada Familia Highlights Tour is the most affordable, easiest and most accessible way to visit La Sagrada Familia, perfect for anyone on a short trip to Barcelona who wants to do justice to its most impressive attraction.
