The fast tickets were great. We got in very quickly and didn't have to queue. The time slot was also very relaxed, I didn't have to stress so much to arrive on time. The Sagrada Familia is well worth seeing but the entrance fee is overpriced!

We love our guide Paula from Amigo Tours! She's funny at the same time she knows Guidi pretty well. We got inside right away and she made us feel we got her back throughout the tour. I really recommend her! She's the best.

We enjoyed our tour and learned things we hadn't heard on previous visits to SF. Our guide Roger was knowledgeable and good at making sure everyone in the group could hear and understand. He did talk a little too fast sometimes.

We booked a last-minute tour of Sagrada Familia and Parc Guell on our recent trip to Barcelona as we'd left it too late to get individual tickets, and we are so glad we did! Jaime from the local partner, world of wonders, was fantastic! He was friendly, knowledgeable, a good communicator, and made it a really special day.


How long are the queues at the Sagrada Familia?

Sagrada Familia

With over 4.5 million visitors a year, it's no surprise that queues at the Sagrada Familia can stretch up to 2 hours, especially during summer, weekends, and holidays.

Skip-the-line tickets help you bypass the long entry queues and go straight to the security check, saving time and avoiding the worst of the wait. But even if you have skip-the-line access, all visitors must pass through a security check, which can add another 10-20 minutes during peak times.

To avoid waiting at entry, it’s best to time your visit to low crowd hours like early in the morning before 10am, late in the afternoon, or around 4-5pm on weekdays.

How to actually skip the line at Sagrada Familia?

General entrance

  • Use this entrance if: You have entry tickets and are in a small group (fewer than 9 people)
  • Average wait time: Ticketing queues at Sagrada Familia can get extremely long—anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, especially during weekends and peak season (April to October).

  • Average wait time: The wait time at the group entrance is often shorter than the individual entrance, but it can still vary—ranging from 15 minutes to 1 hour. Factors like group size, arrival time, and overall visitor volume affect wait time, even if you’ve booked in advance.

Frequently asked questions about Sagrada Familia skip-the-line tickets

Why book skip-the-line tickets?

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.

What happens if you don’t book skip-the-line tickets?

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.

Do I still need to go through security?

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.

Can I get skip-the-line tickets at the gate?

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.

Do skip-the-line tickets include access to the towers?

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.

Are there any age or health restrictions for tower access?

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.

Is Sagrada Familia wheelchair accessible?

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.

What happens if I’m late for my time slot?

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.

Do the skip-the-line tickets come with a guide?

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.
