Sagrada Familia & Towers Guided Tour
Sagrada Familia & Towers Guided Tour
The Sagrada Familia (Basilica and Expiatory Church of the Holy Family) was Antoni Gaudí’s last and most ambitious project before he died. It's considered Barcelona’s main symbol.
Before entering the temple, your knowledgeable English-speaking guide will lead you around the impressive structure and explain its various façades, including the Nativity Façade. Next, skip the lines and explore the awe-inspiring interior accompanied by your guide. Gaudí was especially influenced by nature and you’ll admire the building’s colossal columns that look like a concrete forest.
Discover how the Catalan architect conceived his masterpiece by marvelling at his various blueprints and drawings. Then, see how little by little and with a few variations, the temple is becoming a reality with the money obtained from the entrance tickets and third-party donations.
Climb the towers
At the end of the visit, you’ll be handed a ticket to climb to the top of one of the towers and enjoy breathtaking views over Barcelona. You’ll take a lift up to the observation deck and then climb down 300 steps. An unforgettable experience! Please note, however, that it is not advisable for people with reduced mobility to climb the towers.
Fast track entry
Usually, when tourists see how long the lines are to access the Sagrada Familia, a lot are put off and don’t visit one of the most worthwhile visits in Barcelona. However, if you book our guided tour, you’ll enter the site without queuing.
Moreover, the entrance to the top of the towers is limited, so travellers must book their tickets in advance. However, you won't have to worry if you book this activity, as it includes a visit to one of its towers.
Important
- Visitors must take the lift to climb to the top of the tower and take the stairs down.
- Children under 6 years old may not access the towers for safety reasons and youth under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.
- The towers are not wheelchair accessible.
