What to expect on a Sagrada Familia guided tour?

  • Once you book your guided tour of the Basilica online, you will receive a confirmation of your ticket on your phone. This e-ticket will suffice, there will be no need to print a copy - let’s keep the environment in mind! 
  • After confirmation of your ticket, you will be intimated on the meeting spot, usually at a landmark just outside the Basilica, where you can meet your guide and your group. This will be slightly earlier than the entry time on your ticket, to give you a lee-way in case of any unforeseen delays. The Basilica is strict about entry times, if you miss your allotted entry time, you will be required to purchase another ticket. Avoid this altogether and get there a little early. 
  • When you locate and familiarize yourself with your guide, they will lead you straight to the security checkpoint to enter the Basilica, at the Nativity Facade. Because you purchased your ticket online in advance, you save yourself from waiting in the ticket counter queue.

A guided tour is available in four languages - English, Spanish, French, and German. English guided tours are usually between 10 AM and 12 noon. Similarly, guided tours in other languages have their allotted time window.

  • Punctuality: There is usually a queue for the security check that can last between 15-30 minutes, and this is applicable to all ticket holders. Do account for this while planning your arrival at the monument, as you would be denied entry if you arrive later than your scheduled ticket time. 
  • Dress appropriately: The Basilica is a religious Catholic monument, therefore visitors are requested to dress modestly while on the premises. 
  • Accessibility: Children below 11 can enter the Basilica for free, however, due to the narrow and steep on-foot descent, children under the age of 6 are not permitted to enter the Towers. You can also get a discount if you are a student entering with valid proof. 
  • Refreshments: All backpacks are checked at the entrance, and food and drinks are not permitted inside. It is advisable to ensure you have eaten prior to your visit, as refreshments in and around the premises can be expensive.
