Barcelona Sagrada Família Guided Tour (Exterior or Interior)

Discover Gaudí's masterpiece
with an official guide

Meet your official guide at the meeting point near the Sagrada Família and start the walking tour. There are two options. The exterior guided tour (about 1 hour) is available in English, Spanish or French, and the interior guided tour with priority entry (about 1.5 hours) is conducted in English.

Hear the stories behind the three façades on the exterior tour

Walk around the impressive exterior of the basilica with your guide and learn how Gaudí transformed a traditional church into an innovative architectural project. Learn the stories of the Nativity façade, the Passion façade and the future Glory façade, and the symbolism hidden in every detail.

You will also hear about the construction process that began in 1882, why it has taken more than 100 years to build, and the symbolism of modernist architecture.

Admire the forest of columns and light on the interior tour

If you choose the interior guided tour, you will enter the basilica with priority access after the introduction to the exterior. Admire the forest-like columns, the colorful stained-glass windows and the changing light that fills the nave throughout the day.

Your guide will explain the religious symbolism, artistic vision and engineering innovations that make the Sagrada Família unique, and how nature inspired Gaudí's designs.

※ The exterior guided tour takes place outdoors only and does not include entry to the basilica.
