This short but very sweet Sagrada Família tour meets in front of the Basilica, where you'll meet your guide. As you take in three extraordinary façades, including the unique Nativity façade, you'll get a crash course on the history of the building, discovering why each side looks so different from all the rest.
Next, your Sagrada Família tour takes you inside the one-of-a-kind sanctuary, where you'll find yourself surrounded by the genius of one of the greatest architects of the 20th century.[readmore]As you walk through the incomparable sanctuary and peer up into a stone canopy of tree-like columns and rainbow-coloured stained glass, your guide will tell you the improbable story of Antoni Gaudí; the son of rural artisans who rose to the heights of Catalonian society and European architecture.
They will also explain the religious, natural, and uniquely Catalonian influences that Gaudí synthesized with near-fanatical zeal to create structures of extraordinary beauty. As a special treat, you'll also get to see the highlights of the museum, and your guide will give you insight into Gaudí's extremely unique design practices.
Your tour lasts one hour and 15 minutes, but you're welcome to stay after that time if you wish. Before your guide departs, they will give you information on visiting more of the museum, which will be an unexpected highlight of your trip for the insight it gives into Gaudí's breathtaking genius.
