Skip-the-Line Sagrada Família Express Tour

Skip the Lines and Experience Barcelona's Most Famous Basilica on this Sagrada Família Express Tour

As Barcelona's most popular attraction, access to La Sagrada Família is in high demand - and with very few tickets sold onsite, tickets must be purchased in advance of your visit. On this express tour with pre-reserved tickets and guaranteed entrance, you'll skip long lines to get straight inside.

This is the most accessible way to see one of the most unique churches in the world with a trained expert who will tell you its improbable (and often troubled) story, while pointing out architectural elements and details that most guidebooks omit. Your tour starts right by the Sagrada Família, where you'll see the basilica in all its majesty.

Stepping inside the Basilica, you'll fully appreciate the singular genius of Gaudí. As you move between columns designed like trees with capitals forming the canopy of the ceiling, your guide will explain how Gaudí developed his style from both religious, natural, and uniquely Catalan influences. You'll also learn about Gaudi's innovative use of light as you bask in the glow of the rainbow-colored stained glass windows that fill the sanctuary with an otherworldly glow.

There's no church in the world quite like the Sagrada Família, and there was no architect quite like Gaudí. Of all the ways to see the Sagrada Família, this is the most affordable, easiest and most accessible. This tour is perfect if you have limited time in Barcelona and want to appreciate the significance behind its most impressive attraction.
