The vibe check

You step in expecting a church and get hit by a forest of light — colour pouring through the glass. Then you remember the thousands of people sharing the moment.

What people say

The ticket allows you to walk through the interior of the church, a marvellous forest of columns in the style of the great Gothic cathedrals, with a central nave crossed by a transept.

You might spend more time admiring the stained glass windows designed by Joan Vila-Grau, which makes the Sagrada Familia burst with light.
