FAQ

Which tower should I choose -- Nativity or Passion?

The Nativity Tower (east side) is Gaudi's original and offers views toward the sea and the Eixample district. It has more ornate details up close. The Passion Tower (west side) is taller and provides views toward Montjuic and the city center. Both require the same ticket. Most visitors prefer the Nativity Tower for its Gaudi-designed details, but the Passion Tower has slightly better panoramic views. Note: you descend via a narrow spiral staircase (over 300 steps), so it's not suitable for those with mobility issues or claustrophobia.

When will the Sagrada Familia be completed?

The original target was 2026, the centenary of Gaudi's death, but COVID-19 delays have pushed the expected completion to 2028-2030. The central Tower of Jesus Christ (172.5 m) was topped in 2023, making it the tallest church structure in the world. The basilica is fully open to visitors during ongoing construction, though some exterior elements remain scaffolded.

What should I do if tickets are sold out for my date?

Official tickets often sell out 2-4 weeks in advance during peak season (June-September). Check marketplace options like GetYourGuide, which hold separate allocations and may still have availability. Alternatively, try early morning (9:00 AM) or late afternoon (after 17:00) slots, which tend to sell out last. Booking at least 2 weeks ahead is strongly recommended year-round.

When is the best time to visit for the stained glass light effect?

The east-facing Nativity facade windows cast warm green, orange, and gold light in the morning (9:00-11:00 AM). The west-facing Passion facade windows create deep blue, red, and purple tones in the afternoon (15:00-17:00). For the most spectacular interior light, visit on a sunny day between March and October during these windows. Many photographers consider the afternoon session slightly more dramatic.
