What each ticket includes

  • Sagrada Família, €26: entry to the Basilica and the museum for as long as you like, with the audioguide in the official app. It does not include the towers or the crypt. The official page gives an approximate duration of 1 hour. The audioguide comes in a 45-minute standard version and a 25-minute express version, in 19 languages.
  • With guided tour, €30: an official guided tour of about 50 minutes, in a language that depends on the season and time of day. It does not include the museum or the Liturgical path (you can see them on your own afterwards) and does not include a tower.
  • With towers, €36: the basic visit plus one tower. You choose a tower on the Nativity façade (views over the east of Barcelona) or the Passion façade (views towards the city centre) when you book. You go up by lift and walk down. Approximate duration: 1 hour 30 minutes.
  • Guided tour and towers, €40: the guided tour plus one tower of your choice.

The Tower of Jesus Christ is not part of any ticket. The upper arm of its cross was put in place on 20 February 2026, completing the exterior, and the Basilica says work will continue inside the tower in 2027 and 2028. The official tower ticket only offers the Nativity or Passion towers.

Tower rules (read before you pay €36 or €40)

  • Children under 6 cannot go up the towers; visitors aged 6 to 16 must be with an adult.
  • The official conditions also exclude wheelchairs, baby strollers, people with reduced mobility, pregnant women and people with vertigo, heart or breathing problems, claustrophobia or similar conditions.
  • Bags and rucksacks go in the lockers before the tower visit. There are no lockers for suitcases.
  • Towers close in bad weather, for breakdowns or for maintenance. In that case only the tower part of the ticket is refunded, never the Basilica visit.

From the official Sagrada Família ticket page, read on 10 November 2026. For the tower and guided tickets, unemployed, ICOM and Press Card visitors still pay for the extras.

Going to Mass: the Archdiocese of Barcelona holds an international Mass every Sunday and on holy days of obligation at 9:00. The official worship page says there is no charge, but capacity is limited. It is a service, not a sightseeing visit, so dress and behave accordingly. Groups of more than 25 must fill in the official form first.

Can you buy Sagrada Familia tickets at the door or on the day?

The official FAQ says tickets can be bought on the official website or the official app, roughly two months before the visit. The same FAQ says there are direct-purchase QR codes around the Basilica, with availability based on occupancy at that moment, while the opening-hours section of the same page says “Tickets can only be purchased online”. In practice, plan to buy online: same-day tickets, if any are left, are bought on your phone through those QR codes or the app. Do not count on it in busy months.

Beware of resellers. La Vanguardia reported on 10 November 2025 that unofficial sites resell Sagrada Família tickets for €70 to €100 instead of the official €26. Tickets carry the visitor’s name, and the conditions of sale let the Basilica cancel resold tickets without a refund. Book only on sagradafamilia.org or the official app.

Address and how to get there

The postal address is Carrer de Mallorca 401, 08013 Barcelona. Individual visitors use the general entrance on the Nativity façade, on Carrer de la Marina. The nearest metro station is Sagrada Família (lines L2 and L5). The official opening-hours page lists buses 19, 33, 34, D50, H10 and B24; the Basilica’s home page shows a different, older-looking list (19, 33, 34, 43, 44, 50, 51, B20, B24), so check the TMB journey planner for the stop nearest to you.

Refunds, changes and closures

  • As a rule, tickets are not exchanged or refunded. Requests must be made at least 48 hours before the visit by email to [email protected]; within 48 hours you need official proof of why you cannot come. Exchanges must be used within 15 days of the original date and depend on availability.
  • If the Basilica closes a service or the building itself, the conditions of sale say the refund is made automatically to the same payment method.
  • Unplanned closures do happen. On 18 May 2026, a teachers’ protest blocked the Carrer de la Marina entrance and the Basilica could not open at 9:00; visitors were let in after about 11:00 and those affected were refunded (Regió7 and El Nacional, 18 May 2026).
