Itinerary and highlights
Start your tour outside the Sagrada Família, meet your guide and semi private group to set the stage for your visit. Compare the intricate, botanical carvings of the Nativity façade with the stark, emotional sculptures of the Passion façade before bypassing the long general admissions queues with pre-reserved tickets. Once inside, explore the towering nave, where jewel-toned light pours through stained glass and stone columns branch out like a prehistoric forest.
As you navigate the interior, hear the story of Antoni Gaudí’s life and the radical architectural genius that keeps this basilica under construction today. Learn about the complex engineering of the hyperbolic vaults before heading downstairs to the museum to view original plaster models and sketches. The guided portion of your tour concludes inside the basilica, allowing you to linger among the monuments and visit the museum at your own pace.
