Most beautiful place in the world. I never thought I would have the chance to go there. It is such an amazingly breathtaking place. Bring tissues. We were able to get tickets less than a week out, but at that point there were more limitations in regards to time slots. Basic ticket is more than enough to see everything and learn at your own pace. There are vending machines near the bathrooms for water (very hot in mid-June). Could have easily spent a whole day exploring.

One of the most beautiful churches I have been to. When I say beautiful, I mean the outside and the inside. The staff also was really nice. When we went there the passion tower lift was not working so they gave us a refund. The audio guide tells you everything about the place. The stained glasses and everything is so lovely. There are good eating places too around the Sagrada Familia. If you are in Barcelona you must visit this place.

The place is amazing! I would NOT recommend the tower tour though. Aside from the view of the city, which are better in other sites around the city, you don't see much. I toured the nativity tower. And sure, I saw the doves up-close but that was about it because the rest is still under construction and covered in tarp (see pictures posted). The audio guide was well done and helpful in understanding everything. But much of the content is also repeated in the movie inside (that comes with the General admission). Getting the audio guide will give you a richer and more thorough experience.

I can’t believe I haven’t left a review until now! I’ve been 5 times in the last two years and it gets more breathtaking every time. Short answer - not to be missed. Long answer, well where to start! Simply stunning, a masterpiece of construction and artistic vision. The glass work alone is something to visit it for, so beautiful whatever time of day you go. The exhibition underneath is also definitely worth going through to see the inner workings of how everything was designed. A few words to the wise; book a head. The queues are long otherwise and this way you get a 15min window to queue jump. Make sure your bag isn’t full of junk, it will be checked before you go in. Just to save your embarrassment more than anything. And keep an eye on your valuables. This is a high traffic tourist area and can get very crowded inside and out side of the cathedral so be careful with your belongings!

This is a MUST visit when visiting Barcelona! The look from the outside is very distinguished but is not my favorite. However, the inside is amazing! We love to visit churches wherever we go and this is now one of my favorites. Be sure to come early and the day and get tickets as they are timed. Also be prepared for the crowds because it is always busy.
