🏰 Sagrada Familia Travel Guide (Barcelona)

The Sagrada Família is one of the most famous landmarks in Barcelona, Spain. It was designed by the architectural genius Antoni Gaudí. Construction began in 1882 and is still unfinished. It is expected to be completed in 2026 at the earliest. It’s not just a church, it’s a work of art that blends religious, natural, and geometric aesthetics.

🚇Transportation mode
Take the subway L2 (purple line) or L5 (blue line) to the "Sagrada Família" station, and you will see the church as soon as you exit the station. It is very convenient to take bus, taxi, and the church is located in the city center, it will not be difficult to find.

🎟️ Ticket Information
It is recommended to buy tickets online in advance. Don’t think about buying them on the spot, as they can easily sell out. A basic ticket costs about €26 to €40, depending on whether you choose an audio guide, tower climbing and other additional experiences. Climbing the tower costs extra, but you can see the entire Barcelona city view, great value!

🕍 Architectural features
The church has three facades: the Nativity facade, the Passion facade, and the Glory facade. The nativity facade was designed by Gaudí himself and is delicately carved and full of life, the crucifixion facade is cold in style and expresses the crucifixion of Jesus, and the glorified facade is not yet completed and symbolizes heaven and redemption.

Entering the interior of the church, the stained glass shoots into sunlight and the light and shadow changes are breathtaking. Designed to resemble tree trunks in a forest, the columns are spacious and offer a sense of sacredness and serenity.

🙏 Mass and Liturgy
The church has a weekly international mass and is free to enter but places are limited and you have to queue early. Remember to dress appropriately, don't dress too cool, stay calm and respect religious places.

📸 Photography Tips
Don’t use flash or tripods and don’t get in the way when taking pictures. It is recommended to go during the morning opening hours or on weekdays to avoid the crowds.
