Step inside GaudΓ's unfinished masterpiece with priority access before crowds swell, then climb a spire for rooftop views over Barcelona.
What to expect
You'll enter through a dedicated timed-slot line, then move through the naturalistic forest of columns as light pours through the stained glass. A guide explains the symbolism of the facades before you take a lift partway up a tower, then descend a narrow spiral staircase for close-up views of the spires. Allow roughly 2.5 hours door to door.
Good to know
Book the tower slot at least 3-4 weeks ahead as it sells out; the basilica is a 15-20 minute taxi from the port, so plan to be back at least 90 minutes before all-aboard.
