- Josh NelsonAugust 16, 2014It is a stunning piece of architecture. 2 hours is a good amount of time to anticipate if you want to enjoy it at a good pace. Get your tickets online the day before & add the tower as well. Worth it!Upvoted 1 week ago
- Robert PaluszakMay 24, 2016Amazing and unique. All European churches are not the same, this is the exception. Buy tickets online or book a skip-the-line tour. You need a guide or audio tour to truly understand the symbolism.Upvoted 2 hours ago
- Lauren JonesJuly 26, 2016One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Fascinating how Gaudi incorporated nature into his designs. Even if you see nothing else in Barcelona you must see this. Book ahead!!Upvoted 1 week ago
- Wael MaatoukJanuary 28, 2018What an experience. Must see this art piece. Take audio system, very nice to know details, history & lots of interesting info. Don’t go on high tower, nice but doesn’t worth it. But don’t miss it.
- DensApril 26, 2012#1 thing to check out in Barcelona. Try to time your visit with the late afternoon sun so you can see the stained glass widows in all their glory.Upvoted Mar 13
- Roshel AghassiSeptember 14, 2018Make sure to buy your ticket in advance. I would go in mid afternoon because the lights from the stain glass is amazing! If your claustrophobic do not take tower tour.
- Robin BertelsJuly 28, 2015Even if you don't fancy visiting churches, this architectural masterpiece is a must visit. Go inside to discover the truly spectacular reflection of light through the colourful stained glass windows.
- m dNovember 26, 2018You can’t miss this one of the greatest achievement in architecture. (Still in construction) The museum in the basement is very nice to understand Gaudi’s idea and the church itself.
- Kris TinSeptember 18, 2018beau-ti-ful! i‘m not into religion but this cathedral is amazing and worth every cent you pay for admission.
- Jeeves WilliamsAugust 30, 2015An astounding and arresting masterpiece of architecture. Book online before. Queues are shorter around the back. You'll leave your bags in lockers if going up the towers. Good for people-watching.
- Kevin KearneyJune 7, 2016Buy a ticket at least a day before, don't skip the audio tour, and make sure to tour one of the towers for the city view. Go after 3 to catch the sunlight pouring in through the stained glass.
- MJ LeeMarch 30, 2015Make sure you book a guided tour beforehand online. Book online allows you skip the line and the guided tour gives you a lot of untold history and humor.
- Channing GarciaApril 20, 2019Absolutely gorgeous. Couldn’t grasp how beautiful the church is. Learned Much history about the architecture and centuries of its creation. Must book a guided tour in advance. Very much worth it!
- Yves DDecember 30, 2019The Antoni Gaudi roman-catholic basilica, its a must for architecture lovers. Its unique in the world for its style. Even though unfinished for over 100 years, still you can enjoy the architecture
- Zevenen 70August 30, 2017Where to start? Such a big YES! Buy tickets online, including a tower visit and the audio guide. It's mind blowing visually but also the story behind it. Super professionally organised place.
- Keyue BaoAugust 18, 2018Book the ticket online in advance, and try visit the nativity tower if you can! It’s the original tower and you can walk through bridges
- Harri BennettMay 7, 2018Amazing place, even if you don’t go in (cues can be pretty long) it’s just breath talking - so many angles to take it all in from and so much hidden detail - you can stand and look at it for hours
- Rrawat FelknerJuly 29, 2016Visits to Sagrada Familia are timed based on your ticket. Make sure you have tickets b4 you go there. Buy it online or from one of the official tourists booths. Children under 12 free with an adult.
- Açalya IyigunMay 31, 2017Must see! Unbelievable! Amazing! Outside is different, inside is completely different. Book it online in advance from it's own site. Buy just 15 Eur ticket for general visit, will be enough.
- Gary WalshSeptember 28, 2015Book times entrance tickets online- it really saves time queuing. Go in the afternoon as the light is gorgeous through the stained glass windows
- Paige EApril 20, 2017Book an audio tour ahead of time and you won't have to wait in line...and you can move at your own pace. Worth it to go up in one of the towers - recommend the Nativity side.
- The best cathedral of the world. Awesome architecture by the genius Gaudí. A MUST of Barcelona city
- MuratOctober 14, 2023I think it is more of a museum than a church. Must see inside. And either get a book or guide to understand all the details and their meaning. Exceptional! Book your ticket online to avoid lines.
- Tolga AkgunduzSeptember 16, 2016Fantastic! A must-see in Barcelona. Definitely buy tickets (15€) online bc there is a long queue for tickets and most probably the first available time slot will be few hours later anyway
- Ondrej SlintakSeptember 7, 2018If there’s one attraction to see in Barcelona, it’s this. Don’t forget to book the tickets at least a week in advance.
- Arto K.July 19, 2015The architecture is amazing! Be sure to book your tickets online. Tha nationality tower tour is worth every penny. You get to climb down through very narrow stone stairs.
- Felipe LimaOctober 30, 2013Buy a ticket to go inside of Sagrada Familia. The view from the inside is amazing, and you can also check out how the place is gonna look like after they finish it. (right now its 60% done).
- Alexandru Marinică ✈October 2, 2013This is one of the most spectacular buildings in the World! Click on "Read more" to see a short official movie about how this landmark will look like in 2026 when its construction will be completed. Read more
- Lucilla ComisNovember 2, 2017Maybe the most spectacular monument ever visited so far. No wonder why Gaudì is called the God’s architect. Make sure you book your visit online a few days ahead cause it sells out fast every day.
- ElisaMay 2, 2017Must see in Barcelona, most impressive of Gaudi's works. Great museum in the basement too. If the weather is a bit rainy they'll cancel the tower tours, so try to still book for a non rainy day.
- Szabolcs 'csapos' PerlakiApril 8, 2015This is the most fabulous church I have ever been to, the lights are simply amazing! Definitely go up to one of the towers, too, and don't take the elevator back down. Buying tickets online is a must!
- S PAugust 9, 2019An architectural, design and construction marvel. An absolute must see and visit. Prebook ticket and go as early in the morning as possible. Very impressive...
- StephanieJune 29, 2016Book in advance online and definitely worth the couple extra euro for views from either tower. It's marvelous once you get to the top and just as stunning as you descend down the narrow stairs.
- DmtrJune 27, 2015I was sceptic, but the inside of Sagrada Familia is 100 times more spectacular --- the streamlined architecture, colored sunlight and vastness. Give extra €5 and visit the towers.
- Khrystal K. DavisMarch 12, 2016The church is concentrated, and music plays at regular intervals to remind you to pray the Our Father. There is so much to see both inside and outside the cathedral. Antoine Gaudi left us a true gift.
- Derek WilsonMay 4, 2015Despite the tourista hype, it's still a must see. I was honestly floored, awed, goosebumped, stirred, inspired, amazed... Just wow. Worth every Eurocent. Spend heaps of time. Go up a tower. Love it...
- Amit GaharwarDecember 20, 2014Awesome architecture! Good view from towers. Entry ticket is too costly. 15 euros just for the entrance is exorbitantly high! Gaudi art though is worth seeing!
- Andre RauchAugust 1, 2018One of the most amazing churches in the world, not only because its architecture but also history. An absolute must to go inside and see the play of different lights. Pre-book your ticket online
- Werther VeulemansJune 15, 2022One of the main reasons why you should visit Barcelona! An unique piece of architecture that hasn’t been matched worldwide!
- KaitlinJuly 7, 2019This is the most beautiful cathedral I’ve ever seen, and I’ve visited my fair share. Truly stunning both in architectural innovation and sheer beauty. Get the audio guide!
- poGILBERT ParSeptember 3, 2017readily accessible by foot from either the blue (Line 5) or purple (Line 2) metro lines, both named "Sagrada Familia"
- Karla CordobaJuly 16, 2016The impressive and astonishing church that is still in construction leave you breathless. One of the most popular places to visit is always crowded. Tip: buy your tickets at least 2 days before you go
- Somayeh KJune 9, 2019Book in advance if you’re traveling in high season. Saw many tourists who couldn’t get tickets. All was taken for the whole week! We Loved this architectural masterpiece. A must see in Barcelona.
- Ares Riggins JrJuly 10, 2021Very elegant, decadent. A worthy structure for the holy family to be memorialized. Worth seeing for the architecture alone. The self-guided tour is recommended. Don’t miss the underground museum.
- Paul AmbasJuly 5, 2012If you buy a lift ticket, you pick between going up to the Passion or Nativity facades. Choose the Nativity - its the one Gaudi oversaw personally before his death, and has a path between two towers.
- Jay RuetherJanuary 1, 2018I already visited the Sagrada Familia twice and it’s always a visit worth. This church is so different with nice modern sculptures & stupefying light effect
- Bijoy GoswamiJuly 12, 2017Sagrada needs no further introduction. However, the dialogue between it and Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau is amazing. Walk the diagonal between Sagrada to Sant Pau and see for youself.
- MohsenOctober 6, 2014U can't imagine 🙈 But it's around 100 years that they r Working on this Church & it's not finished yet , Because They r Working on the Stones & it's too hard . It's Very Nice … 👍👌👌👌
- Remo MalarikMarch 12, 2017By far the coolest church in all of Europe! Definitely not typical both in the way that it looks and the fact that they're actually working on it. Take a guided tour at the very least for the outside
- Maik TJanuary 2, 2017all tickets are dated and grant access only at a specific time. popular times in the day are often sold out. so book your ticket a few days in advance to get access at your preferred time..
