The Sagrada Família with a guide

After La Pedrera, Gaudí gave his last years to the Sagrada Família. This 1-hour 30-minute tour by Crown Tours takes you through the basilica and its museum with skip-the-line entry and headsets, so the story is easy to follow.

Sagrada Família Priority Access Guided Tour

About this experience

La Pedrera was Gaudí's last civil work; after 1912 he worked almost only on the basilica. This tour shows where that led. Your guide meets you by the lake facing the basilica, then takes you in with skip-the-line entry through the nave, the transept and the sanctuary, with its tree-like columns and stained glass.

The tour ends in the Sagrada Família museum, with Gaudí's original sketches, models and artifacts. The Tower of Jesus Christ, the tallest of the basilica, was completed in 2026, the centenary of Gaudí's death. Gaudí is buried in the crypt. Tower access is not part of this tour.

The listing has 4.8 stars from 6,399 reviews. Guests praise guides by name, Lena and Albert most of all. Bring a passport or ID card and dress modestly.
