In detail

Make your visit to the Sagrada Familia truly unforgettable with a 1,5 hour tour of Gaudi's masterpiece. The tour can be taken in a small group or privately, accompanied by an expert guide who will lead you around the facade and interior of this iconic basilica.

During the tour, you'll learn about the construction process, the expected completion date and the generations of craftsmen, architects and artists who brought Gaudí's vision to life.

Your guide will greet you outside and offer a brief introduction before heading to the basilica entrance. After passing through security, you will explore the Nativity Façade, the first completed section of the Sagrada Familia, and discover the details that make it so special.

Inside, you will experience Gaudí's intention for the basilica to feel like a walk through a forest, with light filtering softly through the "trees" that make up the columns and vaults.

On the way out, you will visit the Passion Façade, which depicts the crucifixion of Jesus, with its angular and dramatic sculptures. This façade, like much of the basilica, was built after Gaudí's death, but faithfully reflects his vision.

The tour continues at the Sagrada Familia Schools, designed for the children of the workers who built the basilica. You'll discover how these schools were rebuilt and moved to make room for the Sagrada Familia.

Your last stop will be the Sagrada Familia Museum, where you'll see original sketches and plans, objects from Gaudí's life and historical elements of the basilica, including the famous inverted model that demonstrates the complexity and genius of its architecture.
