Timed-entry tickets let you bypass the on-site purchase line and head straight to security. Add an audio guide, tower access, or a hosted intro for a smoother experience.

Sagrada Familia is Barcelona’s busiest landmark, drawing millions each year. In peak months (Apr–Oct), same-day buyers face 60–120+ minutes just to purchase tickets, and many days sell out completely. Even with timed entry, expect an additional airport-style security check, which can take anywhere between 10–30 minutes, especially midday.

Skip the long ticket lines and access Sagrada Família after a quick security check. These timed-entry tickets save hours at peak hours—so you can admire Gaudí’s nave, the stained glass and façades, not wait in line.
Sagrada Familia welcomed 4.83 million visitors in 2024, making it one of Barcelona’s busiest landmarks with long lines daily, especially during peak months (April–October). While “skip-the-line” used to mean bypassing the ticket counter, there’s currently no staffed box office and no guarantee you’ll find tickets at the entrance. Today, “skip-the-line” means booking your visit in advance so you have a confirmed time slot and don’t risk the attraction selling out. Do note that all visitors still pass through an airport-style security check, which can take 20–40 minutes, especially around midday. With an advance ticket, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your entry is secured.
During peak season (April–October), lines at the Nativity Façade entrance can stretch around the block, with average waits of 60–90 minutes between 10 am and 1 pm. Early mornings and late afternoons are generally calmer, though even in winter you might wait 20–40 minutes. Weekends and holidays see the heaviest crowds, and midday slots often sell out entirely.
To minimize wait time, plan your visit for quieter hours, before 10 am, around 4–5 pm, or later in the evening on weekdays. If you’re traveling in peak season, it’s wise to book your skip-the-line tickets at least a month in advance to secure your preferred time slot and avoid last-minute disappointments.
At Sagrada Familia, tickets vanish faster than you can blink. Lock in your time slot so you’re not left staring at sold-out signs. Think of it as your VIP pass to breezing past the ticket drama and get guaranteed entry when it works for you.

Booking skip-the-line tickets can save you a good 1-2 hours during peak times, especially in summer or on weekends. You’ll walk straight to the security check at your reserved time instead of queuing for tickets, making your visit stress-free from the start.
Without them, you’re likely to spend 1.5–2.5 hours standing in the sun just to buy tickets. By the time you get in, you might have missed your preferred time slot or feel rushed inside to make up for lost time. On busy afternoons, there’s also a real risk of not getting in at all.
Yes. Even with skip-the-line access, all visitors must pass through security. The ticket simply lets you bypass the long line at the ticket counter, not the mandatory security check.
It’s very unlikely. Most skip-the-line tickets sell out online two to three days in advance, and during high season they can disappear even sooner.
Not always. Basic fast-track tickets include entry to the basilica and museum, but tower access must be selected as an upgrade at the time of booking. You can also book Sagrada Familia guided tour with tower access. Tower tickets are limited and sell out quickly, so it's best to book at least 3-5 days in advance.
Yes. Children under 6 years are not allowed to access the towers. Visitors under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Tower access is not recommended for those with reduced mobility, vertigo, or heart/respiratory issues, as the descent is via narrow spiral stairs.
Yes, the main basilica, museum, and gift shop areas are wheelchair accessible. However, tower access is not, as the descent involves stairs. Wheelchair users can still enjoy the full ground-level experience with audio guides and designated access routes.
Sagrada Familia enforces strict timed entry. If you miss your time slot, re-entry is not guaranteed, and refunds are not provided. We recommend arriving at least 15-20 minutes early to go through security comfortably.
Not by default. Some skip-the-line tickets include an optional audio guide (downloadable app), while others offer fully guided tours. Make sure to choose the right ticket while booking.
Skip the snaking lines and step inside Barcelona’s busiest landmark, fuss-free.
