Getting there

Take Metro L2 or L5 to Sagrada Família. Use the entrance shown on your ticket. Allow a few minutes to cross to the correct façade.

Admission

Book a timed basilica ticket ahead. Check whether a tower visit is included and review the rules for the ascent and descent before choosing it.

What to see

Compare the façades before entering, then give your eyes time to adjust inside. Notice how the columns and colored windows change your view as you walk.

Plan your visit

Plan the day around your entry slot if visiting inside. Check what is included if you want to add a tower visit.

An interior visit generally works in 60–90 minutes plus security. The towers add time and may involve stairs. Wear clothing suitable for a place of worship.
