Sagrada Família Tickets 2026: Prices, Tower Access, Opening Hours and Entry Rules

How much are Sagrada Família tickets in 2026?

Sagrada Família tickets cost €26 for the basilica with the audio-guide app, €30 with a guided tour, €36 with a tower and €40 with a guided tour and a tower when bought from the Basilica, with lower rates for under-30s, students and seniors and free entry for under-11s and visitors with disabilities. The prices below are the Basilica's own, read on its prices page on 29 September 2026; under-11s go free on all four tickets. Tickets are sold online only, for a set time slot, and the Basilica also sells them through QR codes placed around the building, subject to occupancy on the day.

Visitors with disabilities enter free on every ticket; a companion enters free on the basic ticket and pays €4 with a guided tour, €10 with a tower and €14 with both. Large and single-parent families get 50% off, and a deal launched on 1 January 2026 gives Barcelona residents 50% off; both must be requested in advance. Registered unemployed visitors with a DARDO certificate get free basic entry on Wednesdays from 9:00 to 12:00. Children under 3 do not need a ticket, and visitors under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Tickets are nominative, and the Basilica asks for official photo ID at the entrance. On its Open Doors Days from 24 to 27 September 2026 the Basilica admitted 20,000 people free, chosen by a public draw that 133,428 people entered.

Is it better to book on the official site or through GetYourGuide?

Book at sagradafamilia.org for the lowest price, €26, when your date is fixed, and through GetYourGuide, from €34, when you want the option to cancel: the Basilica's tickets are, as a general rule, neither exchangeable nor refundable, while GetYourGuide refunds in full up to two days before. Under its rules and regulations, the Basilica considers an exchange or refund only for an unused ticket, requested at least 48 hours before the visit and backed by official proof of why the visit cannot go ahead. Both routes give timed entry, and every visitor passes the same bag check at the door.

What does the GetYourGuide Sagrada Família ticket include?

GetYourGuide's "Barcelona: Sagrada Familia Entry Ticket with Audio Guide" includes timed entry to the basilica, an audio-guide app and the booking fee, with a Nativity or Passion façade tower as an optional upgrade, and leaves out a live guide, a smartphone and headphones.

Meeting point

Know before you go

• Entry is at the booked time or up to 15 minutes afterwards.
• The last time slot of the day allows a visit of 45 minutes.
• GetYourGuide lists the audio guide as available only to visitors over 11.
• Bookings of more than nine people count as a group.
• The towers are not suitable for people with reduced mobility.
• The listing names shorts, short skirts and sleeveless shirts as not allowed, which is stricter than the Basilica's own dress code.

Which Sagrada Família tower is better, Nativity or Passion?

Choose the Nativity façade for views over the eastern side of Barcelona and the Passion façade for views over the city centre: both tower tickets cost €36 on the official site, or €40 with a guided tour, and the rules are the same. The Basilica describes the choice by the view alone, and its tower ticket page sets these conditions for both:

• Visitors take a lift up and walk down.
• Children under 6 cannot go up, and visitors aged 6 to 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
• Rucksacks and bags go into lockers before the ascent; these are the only lockers on site, and there is nowhere to leave suitcases.
• The towers are not accessible to people with reduced mobility.
• If the towers are closed, the ticket price is not refunded.

The central Tower of Jesus Christ, at 172.5 metres the tallest of the Basilica's towers, is not one of the options. Its exterior was completed and blessed on 10 June 2026, and in its construction update of 22 September 2026 the Basilica said the inside of the tower will be fully visible in about a year, once the scaffolding has been removed, after which work turns to installing a lift.

What are the Sagrada Família opening hours in 2026?

The Sagrada Família opens at 9:00 from Monday to Saturday and at 10:30 on Sunday, and on weekdays and Sundays it closes at 18:00 from November to February, 19:00 in March and October and 20:00 from April to September; on Saturdays it closes at 18:00 all year. The hours below are from the Basilica's schedules page, which warns that times and days may occasionally change for special events inside the Basilica.

On 25 and 26 December and on 1 and 6 January the Basilica opens from 9:00 to 14:00 only, and the October timetable starts on Thursday 1 October 2026. From 9:00 to 10:00 the Basilica keeps a quiet hour, when earphones are required for audio guides and phones and visitors are asked to stay silent. Mass is free but places are limited: the international Mass is held every Sunday and holy day of obligation at 9:00, and an international evening Mass on Saturdays at 20:00, both entered by the Nativity façade on Carrer de la Marina.

Is the Sagrada Família finished?

The Sagrada Família is not finished and is still under construction in 2026, although its tallest element, the 172.5-metre Tower of Jesus Christ, was completed on the outside and blessed by Pope Leo XIV on 10 June 2026, 100 years to the day after Antoni Gaudí's death. The Basilica says the tower makes the Sagrada Família the tallest church in the world. It is topped by a four-armed cross 17 metres tall and 13.5 metres wide, made of white enamelled ceramic and glass. More than 8,500 people attended the centenary Mass in person, 4,500 inside and 4,000 outside, according to the Basilica's account, and some 120,000 lined the surrounding streets, a Barcelona local police estimate reported by Catalan News.

In its annual update of 22 September 2026, the Basilica said work is concentrating on the Glory façade, which Gaudí designed as the main entrance; on the Chapel of the Assumption on Carrer de Provença and the adjoining sections of the cloister; on the conservation and restoration of the Nativity façade; and, soon, on restoring the Simon bell tower. It gave no completion date. In February 2025 the Basilica's management said the whole temple could be completed in about ten years if all schedules were confirmed and deadlines met, and that the final design of the Glory façade was still being negotiated with Barcelona City Council, Catalan News reported.

Construction began on 19 March 1882, when Bishop Urquinaona laid the first stone of a design by Francisco de Paula del Villar. Gaudí took over in 1883 and worked only on the temple from 1914 until his death in 1926, according to the Basilica's history of the temple. Pope Benedict XVI consecrated it as a minor basilica on 7 November 2010, and its Nativity façade and crypt have been part of the UNESCO World Heritage property Works of Antoni Gaudí since 2005.

What is on at the Sagrada Família for the rest of 2026?

The Basilica's 2026 commemoration programme continues with the exhibition "Sagrada Família: the strength of a shared dream" until 31 December, Popular Culture III: Music and Tradition outside the Basilica from 10:30 to 14:00 on 3 October, and a concert with the Escolania de Montserrat and the lighting of the Nativity façade at 19:00 on 23 December. Other dates on the 2026 programme include a family architecture day on 4 October, prayer with Taizé chants on 7 November and a Tower of Jesus Christ family workshop from 31 October 2026 to 19 June 2027.

What are the rules for visiting the Sagrada Família?

Visitors to the Sagrada Família need official photo ID and must arrive at their booked time, pass a bag check, wear trousers or skirts reaching at least mid-thigh with no see-through clothing or swimwear, keep hats off inside and not eat on the premises. The details below come from the Basilica's rules and regulations and FAQs.

• ID and timing. Tickets are nominative and the Basilica asks for official photo ID. Tickets are valid only for the time chosen, and the Basilica says late arrivals cannot enter; GetYourGuide's conditions allow entry up to 15 minutes after the booked time.
• Clothing. No see-through clothing, trousers and skirts to at least mid-thigh, no swimwear and no bare feet. Hats are not allowed inside the nave or the museum except for religious, health or belief-related reasons. The official rules say nothing about covering shoulders.

• Food and drink. No eating or smoking on the premises, drinking only outside the building, and no drinks brought in from outside.

Do you need to book Sagrada Família tickets in advance?

In practice, yes: the Sagrada Família sells tickets online only, for a fixed time slot, and its QR codes around the building sell tickets on the day only when occupancy allows. Tickets are valid only for the time chosen, and the Basilica says late arrivals cannot enter. Official tickets are, as a general rule, neither exchangeable nor refundable, while the GetYourGuide entry ticket, from €34, can be cancelled for a full refund up to two days before.

Is the Sagrada Família finished?

The Sagrada Família is not finished and is still under construction in 2026. Its tallest element, the 172.5-metre Tower of Jesus Christ, was completed on the outside and blessed by Pope Leo XIV on 10 June 2026, 100 years after Antoni Gaudí's death, and the Basilica says it makes the Sagrada Família the tallest church in the world. On 22 September 2026 the Basilica said work was continuing inside that tower, where a lift will be installed, and on the Glory façade, the main entrance. In February 2025 its management said the whole temple could be completed in about ten years if all schedules were met.

Which Sagrada Família tower is better, Nativity or Passion?

The Sagrada Família's official site distinguishes the two by the view: a tower on the Nativity façade looks over the eastern side of Barcelona, and a tower on the Passion façade looks over the city centre. Both cost €36 with basilica entry, or €40 with a guided tour, and share the same rules: a lift up and a walk down, no children under 6, an adult with anyone aged 6 to 16, bags left in lockers, no access for people with reduced mobility and no refund if the towers are closed. The 172.5-metre Tower of Jesus Christ is not one of the tower options.

How long does a visit to the Sagrada Família take?

The Sagrada Família gives an approximate duration of one hour for a basilica ticket with the audio-guide app or with a guided tour, and one hour 30 minutes for a ticket with a tower. The official audio guide lasts 45 minutes in its standard version and 25 minutes in its express version, and the basic ticket lets visitors stay in the basilica and museum for as long as they like. On the last time slot of the day, GetYourGuide's conditions allow a 45-minute visit.

Is the Sagrada Família free for children?

Children under 11 enter the Sagrada Família free on every ticket type, and children under 3 do not need a ticket. Visitors aged 11 to 29 pay the under-30 rate: €24 instead of €26 for the basic ticket, €28 with a guided tour, €34 with a tower and €38 with both. Children under 6 cannot go up the towers, visitors aged 6 to 16 must go up with an adult, and every visitor under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

What is the dress code for the Sagrada Família?

The Sagrada Família's rules ban see-through clothing, swimwear and bare feet, require trousers and skirts to reach at least mid-thigh, and do not allow hats inside the nave or the museum except for religious, health or belief-related reasons. The official rules do not mention shoulders. GetYourGuide's listing for its entry ticket is stricter and names shorts, short skirts and sleeveless shirts as not allowed, so visitors booking through GetYourGuide should dress to that list.

Can you visit the Sagrada Família for free?

Attending Mass at the Sagrada Família is free: the international Mass is held every Sunday and holy day of obligation at 9:00, and an international evening Mass on Saturdays at 20:00, with limited places and entry by the Nativity façade on Carrer de la Marina. A sightseeing visit needs a ticket, which is free for under-11s, for visitors with disabilities and, on the basic ticket on Wednesdays from 9:00 to 12:00, for registered unemployed visitors. On its Open Doors Days from 24 to 27 September 2026 the Basilica admitted 20,000 people free, chosen by a public draw that 133,428 people entered.
