Guided tour of the Sagrada Familia with direct entry

Guided tour of the Sagrada Família with tickets already included and direct access, so you skip the ticket office line. The group meets at the set time near the basilica. Before going in, you walk around the outside to see the different façades, which is the order that makes sense: the stone tells the story in episodes, and each front is devoted to one of them. Inside, the building rests on columns that branch out as they rise. Gaudí wanted a forest of stone, and that is exactly what you get: trunks that split into branches at the height of the vault. Using plans and models, the guide explains how he conceived the whole, including the 18 towers planned. The original design has changed in places, and the work moves forward thanks to what ticket sales and donations bring in, a rare case among Europe's great monuments. The guided tour lasts about an hour and a half. Afterward there is time to see the Sagrada Família Museum on your own, and also to go down to the crypt, where Gaudí's tomb lies. What you'll see East or Nativity Façade. West or Passion Façade. South or Glory Façade. Central nave. Forest of columns. High Altar. Sagrada Família Museum. For organizational reasons, the order of the stops and the areas visited may vary.
