Sagrada Familia Skip The Line Guided Group Tour
Description
The Sagrada Família is a church like no other. Outside, your guide will show you the ornate sculptures carved into the basilica's four façades and explain their meaning. Step inside, and you're transported into a stone forest with towering columns as trees, a vaulted ceiling as the sky, and different shades of light filtering through the stained glass windows. Your guide will share the innovative techniques Gaudí used to bring his vision to life and why they were so revolutionary over 100 years ago — and still remain so unusual today. Throughout your tour, your guide will share stories and the details not to miss. Afterward, we recommend a visit to the museum below the basilica to see the original scale models and sketches of the basilica. Your guide will tell you what to look for.
