Sagrada Familia Tickets

Tickets for the Sagrada Familia are available both online and at the ticket office (located at the entrance of the Sagrada Familia). We highly recommend buying your ticket online due to the many advantages:

They are cheaper. Tickets bought online cost less than tickets bought at the ticket office.

They give you skip the line access. All online tickets give you priority entry into the Sagrada Familia, thus allowing you to skip the famously long lines at the ticket office.

They save you a lot of time. Since the lines at the ticket office are almost always long, you will save at least an hour by passing the lines with your online ticket.

They guarantee your entry on the day and time you want to visit. Since the Sagrada Familia is Barcelona’s top attraction and the number of daily visitors are limited, tickets sell out fast.

Sagrada Familia tickets: A few more notes

The basic ticket is the cheapest ticket option for visiting the Sagrada Familia, but it’s only available for afternoon visits, after 2pm. For morning visits you need to buy a ticket which includes an audioguide and/or access to the towers.

All online tickets give you skip the line entrance.

When booking your ticket you are asked to select a day and time slot for your visit. You need to be punctual, otherwise you won’t be admitted. A maximum of 15 minutes delay is tolerated. It’s a good idea to arrive a bit earlier than your time slot to make sure you enter without any issues.

Once inside, you can spend as much time as you want. You should allow 2 hours for visiting the Sagrada Familia, including the museum.

Bring an ID - you might be asked to show your ID together with your ticket at the entrance.

Sagrada Familia: Visiting Tips & Good to Know

Maximize your time in Barcelona by planning your visit in advance. Buy tickets online to save money and time.

Dress appropriately. The Sagrada Familia is a church and, like all Roman Catholic churches, you should adhere to the standard dress code. The dress code is not strictly enforced but it’s always a good idea to respect it to avoid the risk of being turned away at the entrance.

The Sagrada Familia and its museum are wheelchair accessible but the towers are not.

Beware of pickpockets! It’s filled with pickpockets so make sure you look after your bags.

Visiting the towers is absolutely worth it. Go early in the morning when the Sagrada Familia is not so crowded and start your visit with the towers.

The ongoing construction of the Sagrada Familia is funded by ticket sales. Each ticket sold helps fund the construction which is scheduled to conclude by 2026.

Only small backpacks and regular-size handbags are allowed inside. Bigger backpacks and other items need to be stored in the free lockers. But the lockers are small so big objects such as suitcases can’t be stored in them.

The best time to visit the Sagrada Familia to avoid the crowds is early in the morning or in the afternoon after 3pm. However, if you want to see the beautiful effect of the sunshine shining through the myriad stained glass windows, then go around midday or at sunset. It is incredibly beautiful, but it is also a very popular time to visit the Sagrada Familia - so be ready to brave the crowds.

Sagrada Familia is still unfinished, construction started in 1882 and is expected to be completed in 2026, exactly 100 years after Gaudi’s death.
