Sagrada Familia: Skip-the-Line Ticket

Take a 1.5-hour guided visit to Gaudí’s Sagrada Familia and explore the Basilica’s remarkable exterior and interior in a private or small-group format with a knowledgeable guide. Learn about the ongoing construction, the projected completion timeline, and how generations of artisans, architects, and artists have contributed to realizing Gaudí’s vision.

Your guide will meet you outside the Basilica for a brief introduction before you proceed to the entrance. After passing security, you will focus on the Nativity Façade, the first section completed and a key reference for understanding the structure’s symbolism.

You will then enter the interior of the Sagrada Familia. Take in the space shaped by stained-glass windows that cast intensely colored light and by columns designed to resemble branching forms. Gaudí intended the interior to evoke a walk through a forest, with light filtered as if through layers of leaves.

As you exit, your guide will explain the Passion Façade, which portrays the crucifixion of Jesus. Its stark, angular sculptures convey the drama of the Passion, and—like much of the Basilica—were completed after Gaudí’s death.

Next, visit the Sagrada Familia Schools, originally built for the children of workers involved in the project. Hear how the building was reconstructed several times and even relocated to accommodate the Basilica’s expansion.

Your tour concludes in the Sagrada Familia Museum, where original plans, sketches, and models illustrate the complexity of Gaudí’s architectural approach. You will also see artifacts connected to Gaudí’s life and the Basilica’s early development, including his well-known upside-down model.
