Sagrada Familia Guided Tour with Optional Tower Upgrade

Discover Gaudi’s most famous work – and the most visited monument in all of Spain – with this skip-the-line, guided tour of the Sagrada Familia. Your expert, English-speaking guide will take you inside not only the basilica but also the mind of Antoni Gaudi, sharing amazing stories of Barcelona’s most iconic landmark. Gaze up toward the soaring bell towers, marvel at the intricate facades, and explore the interior of the magical and still unfinished treasure.

Today, it’s the most visited building in Spain. Your English-speaking local guide, an expert in all things Gaudí, will share insider stories and anecdotes throughout your tour, truly bringing this iconic building to life. 

Your guide will share tales of Gaudí’s love affair with his final work, how he considered the project his personal holy mission, and the great personal sacrifices he made to ensure its completion. Sadly, he would not live to see it finished. Such was the complexity of the design that despite taking on the project when he was just 31 years old. 

With “skip the line” access you will be whisked past the long entrance lines and straight into the heart of the Basilica. You’ll feel as though you have stepped into an alternate universe. Step through a heavy set of doors covered in hand-carved vines and find yourself beneath rows and rows of tree-like pillars that seem to reach up all the way to the heavens. Construction is famously ongoing and not estimated to be completed until 2026, and witnessing the this work-in-progress make us feel like we’re part of history in the making.
