Barcelona: Sagrada Família Small-Group Guided Tour with Entry

Step inside one of the world's most extraordinary architectural creations and discover why Antoni Gaudí envisioned the Sagrada Família as a building that could seem almost alive.

This 1.5-hour small-group experience is limited to just 12 guests, giving you more opportunity to interact with your licensed Guía Oficial de Catalunya and explore the basilica without the feel of a large tour group.

Begin with a detailed reading of the Sagrada Família's contrasting exterior façades. Discover the richly sculpted Nativity Façade and its celebration of life, nature, and the birth of Christ before examining the dramatically different Passion Façade, where stark forms tell the story of Christ's final days.

Then step inside Gaudí's remarkable forest of columns. See how branching pillars rise toward the ceiling like trees and watch colored light from the stained-glass windows transform the interior throughout the day.

Your architecture-specialist guide will explain not only what you are seeing, but also the ideas, engineering, symbolism, and natural forms behind Gaudí's revolutionary design.

Finish by discovering the story of the crypt, Gaudí's connection with the basilica, and the continuing construction of a monument that has evolved across generations.

For an enhanced experience, select the Passion Tower option when available and see the basilica from an entirely different perspective.
