About this experience
The Sagrada Família is a church like no other. Outside, your guide will show you the ornate sculptures and explain their meaning. Step inside, and you're transported into a stone forest with towering columns as trees, a vaulted ceiling as the sky, and different shades of light filtering through the stained glass windows.
Want a unique view of Barcelona? Upgrade your ticket to take the elevator to the top of one of the towers and see the city from above.
You can also add on one of our upgrades to see even more Gaudì treasures. Tour Casa Batlló with an expert local guide before it opens to the public.
