Sagrada Familia Highlights Small Group Tour
About this activity
Join a small group of up to 15 people and skip the long lines to the Sagrada Família to explore Gaudí's unfinished masterpiece with an expert guide. Marvel at different features of the basilica from the outside and inside.
Full description
Gaudí's La Sagrada Família is one of Barcelona's most visited buildings, which means long lines for most visitors. This tour skips that with a pre-reserved entrance ticket, so you head straight inside with your guide instead of waiting outside. Groups are capped at 15, smaller than most Sagrada Família tours, giving you more direct time with your guide and more room to ask questions as you learn about Gaudí and the unusual techniques he used to design the building.
Stop At: Basilica de la Sagrada Familia
Description: Your tour starts right by La Sagrada Familia, where you'll join a small group of just 15 people. Enter the magnificent Sagrada Família via the Nativity Façade, the only one that Antoni Gaudí finished in his lifetime. Compare the different faces of the cathedral, and learn what parts remain unfinished almost 130 years after work started under the architect Francisco de Paula del Villar in 1882. Hear how Gaudí’s plans have been interpreted since his death and learn about the controversies surrounding these interpretations. Move between the columns designed like trees that form the canopy of the ceiling. Explore how Gaudí developed his style from different religious, natural, and Catalonian influences. Get a better appreciation for his innovative use of light as you bask in the glow of the stained-glass windows that flood the interior with an other-worldly light. Look at some of the highlights of the museum, and see the crypt where Gaudí was buried following his death in 1926.

Chutes mythiques et impressionnantes mais les explications de la visite sont parfois inutiles et servent à combler le temps.
