Itinerary and highlights

Meet your guide in front of the Burger King restaurant (next to Sagrada Família Subway Station), Carrer de la Marina, 255, 08025 Barcelona, Spain

Plaça de Gaudí offers a great view of the basilica’s exterior architecture with its 3 façades, each depicting a phase in the life of Jesus: nativity, passion and glory.

The 1880s church is still under construction, partly due to the delays caused by the Spanish Civil War, however its magnificent Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau form is absolutely heart-striking. Inside La Sagrada Familia, you will discover a surreal interior inspired by mother nature. Marvel at the elaborate nave featuring a stunning altarpiece and magnificent pillars carved to resemble trees, with colorful light streaming from the stained glass panels. See the crypt where Gaudi is buried and the Museum, which contains a collection of drawings, photos and models of the basilica’s development.

You will also have time to explore a little bit of the neighborhood, with highlights such as the orate Palau Macaya

You will also have time to explore a little bit of the neighborhood, with highlights such as the Casa de les Punxes.

With private car transfers you can easily reach the basilica from anywhere in Barcelona. Both pickup and drop-off is included so simply provide your hotel/accommodation address when booking and we will take care of all arrangements.

You can see more of Dreta de l'Eixample and its Catalan art nouveau and modernist architecture. This includes 2 buildings designed by Gaudi: La Pedrera-Casa Mila and Casa Batlló. At every turn you will discover new interesting facts about Barcelona, its history and heritage. The guide will take you to Plaça de Catalunya, the central, tree-lined and sculpture-filled square next to the Old Town.
