What to expect
A guide meets you to contextualise the basilica's history and Gaudí's vision before releasing you to wander independently. Expect crowds, especially midday and summer months. The interior scale is overwhelming—ceilings soar, light refracts through stained glass, and every surface tells a story. You're free to linger where you choose. Security screening takes 15–20 minutes on busy days. Note: tower access isn't included, and the museum remains separate. Occasionally the building closes without warning due to events or capacity limits.
Good to know
Wear modest clothing—covered shoulders, knees, and midriff required. No hats in the nave (religious or medical exceptions apply). Prams and strollers welcome. Bring water; no food vendors inside. Metro stations nearby. Allow extra time for security queues during peak hours. Weather doesn't cancel tours—only extreme conditions trigger refunds.
