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 with 18 towers 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, 213 ft (65 m) high. 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 sights 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.

Sagrada Familia + Park Güell

During the booking process and depending on availability, you can choose the option that includes a visit to Park Güell. In this case, we'll tour one of Antoni Gaudí's most important works in a privileged area with stunning views of the whole of Barcelona.

After visiting the park, the tour will continue to the Sagrada Familia. Please note that transportation between the two monuments is not included, and you can walk or take public transportation on your own.

In this case, the tour will last between 4.5 and 5 hours.

Important Info

Please note that during high-demand periods such as Christmas or Easter, the local tour staff will not be able to purchase tickets for the Sagrada Familia towers until one week before the activity.
The tower climb is not guided; you'll do that part on your own.
Visitors must take the lift to climb to the top of the tower and take the stairs down.
Children under 6 years old or people with reduced mobility cannot access the towers
