What to expect
Meet your guide 15 minutes early at your assigned spot. You'll move through security (budget 20–30 minutes for metal detectors) before entering the basilica. Inside, your guide steers you through the nave and side chapels, contextualising Gaudí's unconventional design choices. You'll also visit the museum to see the original architectural drawings and models that shaped the space. Throughout, wear your headset to catch details over ambient noise. At the finish, ask your guide for tips on other Barcelona sights nearby. Total walking is moderate; expect to stand and crane your neck often.
