Itinerary

1

Basilica de la Sagrada Familia

Meet your expert guide near Sagrada Família and enter Antoni Gaudí’s masterpiece through the Nativity Façade, the only façade he completed during his lifetime. Compare the richly detailed Nativity Façade with the dramatically different Passion and Glory façades, and discover how Gaudí’s vision has evolved since construction first began in 1882. Inside walk beneath soaring tree-like columns designed to create the feeling of a stone forest. Discover how nature, religion and Catalan identity influenced Gaudí’s revolutionary architecture, and see how sunlight streaming through the spectacular stained-glass windows transforms the interior with colour. Along the way, your guide explains the story of Sagrada Família’s continuing construction, how Gaudí’s original plans have been interpreted since his death, and the debates surrounding the completion of one of the world’s most extraordinary buildings.

Casa Batllo

If you select the Sagrada Família & Casa Batlló option, your tour begins at Casa Batlló, one of Antoni Gaudí’s most celebrated residential masterpieces and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore its extraordinary interiors with your guide, discovering Gaudí’s imaginative use of colour, light, organic forms and innovative design. Your visit is timed to avoid the busiest period of the day, giving you more space to appreciate the details of the house before continuing to Sagrada Família. This option is ideal for travellers who want to experience two of Gaudí’s most iconic Barcelona landmarks in one expert-led tour.
