Fast-track your entry to Sagrada Familia and explore Gaudí’s iconic basilica at your own pace.

What to expect
Sagrada Familia
A symbol of Barcelona and a UNESCO-listed site, the Sagrada Familia has been in the making since 1882. Designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí, it’s a living, breathing piece of architecture where religious symbolism, natural geometry, and artistic detail collide.
Features
-
Facades: Each façade is a sculpture in itself. The Nativity façade is ornate and joyful, with floral motifs, animals, and scenes from Christ’s early life. The stark and haunting angular forms of the Passion façade depict suffering and sacrifice with brutal honesty. The Glory façade, still under construction, promises to be the grandest.
-
Nave: Walk through a forest of stone columns designed to resemble branching trees. The light filtering through the stained glass transforms the space from golden warmth to cool serenity as the sun moves.
-
Stained glass windows: Each window is strategically colored to create mood and movement. The west side glows in fiery reds and oranges, while the east bathes in cool blues and greens, inspired by dawn and dusk.
-
Ceiling: Look up to see hyperboloid vaults and star-shaped patterns that resemble constellations—blurring the line between architecture and nature.
-
Chapel: A quieter space within the basilica reserved for prayer and reflection. With limited access, it offers a glimpse into the spiritual heart of the structure.
-
Museum: Don’t miss the on-site museum where you’ll find plaster models, drawings, and personal artifacts that offer insight into Gaudí’s vision and the basilica’s continuing evolution.
-
Crypt: Visit the dimly lit underground crypt where Gaudí himself is buried, and pay your respects to the man behind this genius.
Ticket options let you tailor your experience; stick with fast-track entry or upgrade to include the multilingual audio guide for curated commentary and tower access. Need assistance at entry? Go for the hosted entry, where a friendly host guides your through entry and gives you a 30-minute intro before you head in or join a full English-guided tour for a deep dive into the basilica’s layered history.
-
What to bring
-
Wear comfortable shoes as the experience involves walking and standing.
-
If you choose the audio guide, download the official app before reaching the basilica to avoid signal issues. Instructions will be mailed to you along with your ticket voucher. Just come prepared with a fully charged phone and your trusted earphones.
-
Documentation for children is mandatory; admission staff may request official documentation to verify children’s age. So, carry an ID or passport.
What’s not allowed

Additional information
-
You can only enter the basilica at your booked time or up to 15 minutes afterward; the basilica does not accommodate late arrivals. Be sure to get there early, just to be safe.
-
Fast-track entry skips the ticket line, not security. All visitors must pass a mandatory security check, so brief waits may still occur—especially during peak hours. For a smoother experience, aim for early mornings or weekday visits.
-
Guests who choose the hosted entry must enter with their designated host. Check your ticket carefully for the exact meeting point, and be sure to arrive on time. Your host will escort you through the entry process and share a 30-minute introductory brief before you explore on your own. Unlike a guide, they won’t accompany you inside the basilica.
-
-
Your voucher will be emailed to you instantly.

Display the voucher on your mobile phone with a valid photo ID at the redemption point.
-
Please arrive at the redemption point 15 minutes before the scheduled time of your visit to avoid any delays.
