The “Bible of Stone”! This was actually my absolute favorite attraction in Barcelona! I would recommend strongly to book a tour with a guide. The information about this place seems bottomless and I just loved discovering all the Bible stories in the facade of the building. It’s such a beautiful building and I spend a long time marveling at it from the outside and then the same at the inside. It’s just absolutely breathtaking!!! My absolute favorite church that I’ve ever visited and I’ve seen quite a few famous churches!
It's a nice, clean and affordable hotel to be in there. The neighborhood is serene. Restaurants, convenient stores are nearby. Staffs at the hotel are admirable. I loved to stay.
Except the cleaning person is inattentive. Not providing water not a single day or left unclean spoons instead of clean ones, left room window open and so on.
We thought it was closed during the week, but were positively surprised when we were able to purchase a ticket on the spot. Very quick and easy to buy, and you are given a time slot. The interior is breathtaking, and we spent approximately 1 hour inside. Remember to wear a sleeved top, as bare shoulders are not allowed inside. Definitely a must see!
The most amazing building I've ever visit.
I can't describe the amount of beauty and astonishing view of this cathedral.
I love that. Around the cathedral there are a lot of cafe and restaurants and you can enjoy the excellent ice creams and food and watch the cathedral in different views.
Every night I did that and never got enough of that.
Also there is a big park around and you can use WC and also the metro station is just next to the cathedral.
A must see! Just make sure to get the full package so you can go to the top. Amazing views! It is a bit warm inside so dress appropriately (women) just make sure not too much of your legs are exposed because if they are you won't be able to go pray in the praying area. @ssmobn916.0 approves
I visited here at midnight in June 2018. I and a local people had a dinner 9 pm, which was still bright. After dinner he send me to the hotel and stopped by here for me on the way to the hotel. It is a magnificent building. I was surprised because there were many tourists even though it was midnight.
Gaudí's masterpiece! Must visit if you are in Barcelona.
The style of the building is amazing. More inside than outside. One needs to see all the dancing colours of interior. For that please go in while a sunny day. Choose the option with a guide/audio guide to get to know more about the amazing place. Unfortunately one of the most crowded places in Barcelona.
I love this church. It is absolutely amazing. I could keep coming back. Theres so much to explore. I'll definitely recommend getting the map and guide. Also if you can afford it book fast track tickets because queues are long!
I didn't pay to visit inside but totally thought it was interesting to see even just from outside. If you are planning to go inside, buy your tickets online and early as they do get sold out quite fast.
The best place to take a photo is further after the little pond where there are benches and people are waiting for their turn to sit to take a photo.
Unfinished architecture. But it’s worth it to go see how they renovate and building this church. Stunning. I love the wall on the way out with the glazing old gold with the word “Jesus”. You can book online ticket , or buy it at the counter. If you go buying at the counter, you probably have to wait for another hour before entry. There are many restaurants and a park around the area.
Unbelievable project. There's something very special about this modern cathedral built in a very traditional way, over decades/centuries. Try to visit when it's sunny out to get the full effect of the light coming through the magnificent stained glass. Book in advance online, as the lines are very long. Travelled with a baby, most of the site is stroller friendly, but you can't go up into the towers.
This is a unique church to visit. Pay extra for the fast pass It is worth it otherwise you wait along time in the queue. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes because you walk a lot on the tour. If you have a wide angle lens be sure to take it along with your camera Otherwise you miss the wonderful photo moments inside the church. Be sure to take photos outside the church.
The most non-creepy cathedral ever. Gaudi's love of nature shines through in the colourful stained glass windows, the massive treelike pillars and especially the front facade. The doors are beautifully worked scenes of bugs and birds in leaves and grasses.
Don't miss checking out the basement museum. Look for the upside down model of chains and weights witch crest a reverse model of the cathedral, and help explain how the architect came up with such a huge, structurally sound building.
The inside is magnificent, beautiful colours and architecture. The towers are cool but not really worth it because of the limited space, queues and price. Overall it's a must see but BOOK YOUR TICKETS ONLINE to save time and to avoid queues and disappointment as if you go too late you might to wait until the next day and queue again!
Church with a long history. Definitely worth a visit. I loved all the colours in the different squares. Many people who came in on different times, queue with people, but despite this, you could also have a time for yourself sitting down in front of the altar. I were also in tower on the nativity facade. Good view over Barcelona. The way down wasn't something for the ones who has a fear of heights. It was a beautiful experience. Be sure to be there in time and check out the dress code as you'll find on Sagrada Familias website.
Wow. This is a must see place if you are in Barcelona. It only takes an hour to go through and here's my advise on the best way to do it.
1. Buy your tickets on line!!! It saves you waiting and you can be sure to get in
2. Get the guided tour, they offer so much info about the architect and the symbolism behind every thing window, column, door, and vault.
3. Go underneath to the museum. It shows the different models of the church and the incredible geometry used to design it.
La Sagrada Familia is an incredible landmark! To say that it has been being built for so long and by so many people it is a wonder that it all flows together so beautifully. There are so many aspect to it that you can easily spend the entire day there.
If you go, make sure to pay a little extra to go up one of the towers. So far, I have only been up the Passion Tower but I would love to return and do the Nativity Tower also.
I'm not a religious person myself but I felt nothing but respect and see for the magnificent place. Well worth seeing as it will, one day, be held in the same light as the Pyramids of Giza and other such man made wonders.
One of the best attractions of Barcelona. Stunning architecture and simply a genius effort to creating the most spiritual/divine experience. Well worth the cost. Advice for tourists. If you want a guided tour book well in advance as English speaking tours are limited. You can get an audio set which is probably just as good. Book online through smart phone. No need for printing etc, just save on your smartphone.
