Paid cathedral entry

Prepare to pay 16e to enter....into a Catholic cathedral, we've seen it all now. The ongoing construction work ruins much of the spirituality of the place and one gets the impression that no one comes to pray. Everything is done for the tourists.

Knowledgeable, thorough, spiritual, and beautiful…

Directions to find our guide were not as specific— Viator had us meet on the steps of the Cathedral— that is not exactly where the tour guide wanted us to meet. On this tour, one can expect a fantastic guide, not only knowledgeable about the cathedral itself, but also about the history of Barcelona. The rooftop and virtual experience is a must for anyone going to Barcelona.

Too bad about all those bars for the paintings.

A beautiful church. Only you can’t take pictures. Bars everywhere for the paintings. It's a shame. Wouldn't recommend it

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you found the Cathedral beautiful, although we are sorry to learn that certain aspects of the visit did not meet your expectations. Please note that the protective barriers placed in front of some artworks are part of the Cathedral's preservation and security measures and are established by the monument itself, so unfortunately they are beyond our control. That said, many visitors are still able to take very good photographs by using the wide-angle option available on most smartphones (without needing to reach through the bars). Thank you again for your visit and for sharing your comments.
