La Sagrada Familia - Barcelona

Must visit. Our guide said we had really good sun that day so it really depends on the good weather to enjoy the kaleidoscope colours illuminated into the church! If you like cool colours like blue and green, come in when the morning light shines. If you like warm colours of autumn, come towards sunset timings. Suggest to join the tour to learn the significance of each structure. It looks complicated n stern but is filled with symbolism and stories. Wonderful.

Visited the place earlier and it was a wonderful experience to observe the architecture and detailing around the building. It's a real piece of art and admire the work done so far. Did not get chance to get the ticket to enter as no tickets were available at the counter. It is always advisable to book in advance if you are planning to visit the place. There are many good food choices around. Overall great experience and a must visit place while in Barcelona.

If you come to Barcelona, go here! It might feel like a hefty price tag for a cathedral entrance in Europe, but it is 100% worth it! The church is gorgeous outside, but the superstar is the inside. It literally took my breath away. Huge and clean and with capacity restrictions, it doesn't feel packed full of people.

It is a marvel of architecture. I hope you will experience the color of the interior of the cathedral changing according to the time of day. Exterior lighting for night view is turned on at 21:30. It is recommended to visit at night as the view at night has a different charm than during the day. A good photo spot is across the park's lake, opposite the entrance.

Truly even more beautiful in person! Take your time to look at the details. Lots of seating available around the edge or the middle which is great if you need a rest and to take the time to enjoy the surroundings. The information on the self guided tour is good but I think it would be worth doing a guided tour as the info is probably a bit more interesting. We went midday on a Thursday. Entrance was smooth and quick. It was busy but not jam packed. The security bit says no food or drink so we threw away our bottled water but it turns out we were allowed to take the water in with us. Book your tickets in advance as it is difficult to get them on the day we booked ours 4 days before
