Gaudi, Gaudi, and Gaudi... plus beautiful historic neighborhoods in the downtown area. Barcelona seems to go out of its way to show that is separate from Spain. If you find any good food there outside of the bakeries, let us know.

Definitely take anyone of the three offerings by Julia Tours. They will provide you with a quality tour that is led by a professional and highly educated guide. Also the crowds are insane. You need a tour company that will guarantee an efficient entrance into the complex. As to the difference in price for the morning and late afternoon entrance fees, my previous research on the Sagrada Familia mentioned and highly recommended viewing it during the hours when the morning sun and/or setting sun would be in play. My husband and I took the 9 a.m. tour and were extremely pleased. It was already getting crowded, but not as bad as the crowds were by the time our tour ended. As to the sun's part, you will definitely be in awe of the added effect that the sun plays when it comes to the massive windows along the sides of the cathedral. The windows designed by Gaudi were created with a specific purpose as was "every feature" in his magnificent church. You are already spending money to go to Spain. Don't shortchange your experience of this remarkable cathedral just to save a few dollars. My husband and I have visited scores of famous cathedrals throughout Europe over the years. I can honestly say that we were blown away by the Sagrada Familia. Our experience there far exceeded our expectations-and my husband is an architect. My suggestion: Go on the 9 a.m. tour.

This is a great tour of the most beautiful cathedral in the world. The cathedral will be very busy with many tours but well worth your time. ENJOY......

Oui! tu peux acheter un billet sur leur site internet mais pour avoir fait les 2 (avec et sans guide) j’ai adoré le guide qui nous donnait des détails pertinents lors de la visite

Julia Travel - and our particular guide was TERRIBLE. After seeing that we could’ve bought our own admission ticket w/a self guided audio guide system, I really wished we would’ve done that instead.

There is not a hand rail and it's pretty steep/tight. My husband is also 6 feet tall and had no problem with the ceiling height.

Yes...I really enjoyed doing that as well!

Our tour did not include the elevator. The elevator was closed the day we were there.

Yes. And our guide (from Julia Travel) was awful. Skip this tour & just buy your own admission ticket that includes an audio guide. You’ll be fine.
