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 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.

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!

Things to know before booking Sagrada Familia tower tickets

Each Sagrada Familia facade is crowned with four towers, which you can climb with a tower access ticket. Basic entry tickets do not include tower access, so be sure to check your ticket details before booking.
Your tower access ticket includes access to one tower, Passion or Nativity, which you can select at the time of entry. Each tower offers a unique experience: the Nativity Tower is richly detailed and joyful, while the Passion Tower is strikingly minimalist.
The tower visit begins with an elevator ride up the tower of your choice, taking you directly to the top for panoramic city views and close-up details of the façades.
The descent must be done on foot, down a narrow spiral staircase of around 504 steps. Making it inaccessible for people with vertigo, claustrophobia, or limited mobility.
Tower access is restricted: children under 6 aren’t allowed, and anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
These tickets are the first to sell out, especially during peak travel months (April-October). Book at least 1–2 months in advance to secure your spot.

Sagrada towers in a nutshell

Sagrada Familia basilica towers against a clear blue sky in Barcelona.

Must-see highlights:

Panoramic views over Barcelona, stretching from the coastline to the mountains.
Up-close look at intricate sculptural details on the Nativity or Passion façades.

Unique facts:

Towers of Nativity Facade were the only ones Gaudí saw completed during lifetime.
The Passion Facade along with its towers was constructed decades later, following his original sketches.
The Glory Facade and its towers are not yet complete, that's why you cannot climb this tower even with the tower access tickets.

Climbing up the Sagrada Familia tower

Elevator ride up

Your tower journey begins with an elevator ride that whisks you partway up the selected façade, either the Nativity or the Passion Tower. It’s a smooth and surprisingly quick ascent, and while the lift skips much of the physical effort, it brings you straight into the heart of the towers. As the lift doors open, you’re immediately immersed in the intricate structure above the Basilica, with access to narrow walkways and balconies.

Breathtaking views

At the top, it’s hard not to pause and just stare. From the walkways connecting the spires, you’ll get panoramic views over Barcelona including the tidy grid of the Eixample, the shimmer of the Mediterranean, and even the Montjuïc hills in the distance. But the real treat? Being eye-to-eye with Gaudí’s sculptural details like fruit clusters, saints, and sharp-edged columns, all dramatically lit by the changing sunlight. Depending on your tower, you’ll either see the lush, symbolic Nativity façade or the austere lines of the Passion façade from a whole new angle.

The spiral staircase descent

The way down is entirely by foot; there’s no elevator for the descent, and you’ll need to navigate around 504 steps on a tight, winding spiral staircase. The design is beautiful but narrow, with little room to stop or turn around. It can feel steep and a bit dizzying, so it’s not ideal for anyone with claustrophobia or vertigo. That said, the play of light, shadow, and stone on your way down is every bit as unforgettable as the view from the top.

Breakdown of Sagrada Familia's towers and facades

The Sagrada Familia boasts three grand facades and a forest of 18 towers, each a testament to Antoni Gaudí's visionary genius and deep faith. Let's delve into the symbolism and beauty of these architectural miracles:

Sagrada Familia Nativity Facade in Barcelona showcasing intricate sculptures and architectural details.

Location: Eastern side of the basilica

Symbolism: Depicts the joyful birth of Jesus and the infancy of Christ.

Towers: Four towers dedicated to the Apostles James the Greater, Simon Peter, Andrew, and John.

Highlights:

Exquisitely sculpted scenes from the Nativity, including the Adoration of the Magi, the Flight to Egypt, and the Presentation of Jesus in the Temple.
Tree of Life sculptures symbolizing the Holy Family and the connection between heaven and earth.
Intricate Nativity portal adorned with ceramic figures and natural elements.

Other Sagrada Familia towers

Apostle Towers

Towers for the 12 ardent disciples

Each of the three facades includes four towers dedicated to one of the 12 devoted followers of Jesus. At present, there are only 8 Sagrada Familia towers constructed—four belonging to the Nativity Facade in the East and four belonging to the Passion Facade in the West. There are four more to be completed on the Glory Facade side. The oldest of the towers, dedicated to St. Barnabas, was built during Gaudi's lifetime and was completed in 1925. Each of these towers rises up to 90m to 112m in height and is the smallest of the 18 towers.

Evangelists Towers

Towers for the 4 Evangelists who compiled the gospels

The Sagrada Familia's plan features six central towers, of which four are dedicated to the four evangelists—Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John—whose works have led to the preservation of Christian history and religion. These towers are being built currently and have reached a height of 103.56m and will be 135 m when completed, making them the third tallest towers. They are slender in size compared to the towers dedicated to Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ and contain the staircases and lifts that lead to the interior of the tower of Jesus Christ.

Virgin Mary Tower

The second tallest tower

The design of Sagrada Familia is spectacular owing to the elaborate thinking that has gone into its creation. Gaudi has deliberately made the tower of Jesus to not be taller than Montjuïc hill as a mark of respect to the Creator and has also ensured that the tower of the Virgin Mary doesn’t go beyond Jesus’. This Sagrada Familia tower was inaugurated on 8 December 2021. The highlights of the tower are the beautifully crafted, mosaic decorated top and the star of Virgin Mary which is illuminated daily.

Tower of Jesus Christ

The meeting of Divinity and Humanity

A careful observation of Gaudi’s design shows he envisioned the Temple structure to be in a hierarchical, vertical rise that depicts the rising of the human being to divinity, and the tower of Jesus is at the very top of it all. Right in the middle of the towers of the four evangelists, the tower of Jesus will stand tallest. It will rise to a height of 172m and will be the highest church tower in the world and the tallest structure in Barcelona. The completion of this Sagrada Familia tower will be a culmination of the work of more than 140 years and may finish in 2026 - on the 100th death anniversary of Gaudi.

Design of the Sagrada Familia towers

The Sagrada Familia has three aspects attributed to the three facades - the Birth of Jesus, his death, and his mystical afterlife.
The facades depict the scenes from the Bible in a beautiful manner, with extremely emotive sculptures.
Natural lighting is made use of in the best possible manner, to light up the interior of the Sagrada Familia towers. With colored glass works at the right angles on the roofs and sidewalls, it simply is a stunning feature of Sagrada Familia's architecture.
While you will find many basilicas that have Gothic, Roman, or European influences, there aren’t many that come close to the natural beauty of Gaudi's architecture.
It is probably the only basilica that is ancient and is still under construction - a rare opportunity for visitors to see the making of a magnificent structure.
The design of the Bell Towers is made in such a way that the sound can reach the whole city of Barcelona.

Architecture of the Sagrada Familia Towers

When will the Sagrada Familia be completed?

The Sagrada Familia is a structure that has been in construction since 1882. Although attempts have been made in the recent past to complete it, the pandemic and other factors have slowed it down. The good news is that the Tower of Virgin Mary was inaugurated in 2021 and the completion of the towers of the two evangelists is expected this year. Overall, the project is expected to be completed in 2026.

Sagrada Familia finish date

Visitor tips

It is best to wear comfortable clothing as you may have to do some amount of walking in the basilica.
Since you are entering a basilica, which is a religious place, it is best to wear suitable clothes that will fully cover you**.
You may carry a small bag that can be deposited but there is no provision to keep your larger luggage.
Visitors are advised not to enter barefooted and wearing hats are not allowed.

Frequently asked questions about the Sagrada Familia towers tickets

Why should I get tower access tickets at all?

Tower access gives you a whole new perspective on the Sagrada Familia. You’ll enjoy panoramic views over Barcelona, walk through narrow bridges between spires, and see Gaudí’s sculptural work up close, details you can’t fully appreciate from the ground. It's a must-do for architecture lovers, photographers, or anyone who wants the complete Gaudí experience.

Is tower access included in the regular Sagrada Familia ticket?

No, it’s not. You’ll need to book a special ticket that includes tower access. Make sure to check this when booking, as standard tickets only include entry to the Basilica and museum.

Can I choose which tower to climb?

Yes, you can choose between the Nativity Tower or the Passion Tower. Each offers a unique view and symbolic experience.

Which tower should I pick—Nativity or Passion?

The Nativity Tower is more decorative and was designed by Gaudí himself; it gets the morning sun and overlooks the green side of the city. The Passion Tower is more austere and dramatic, with sweeping views toward the city center and sea, best in the afternoon light.

How many Sagrada Familia Towers are there?

There are currently 9 Sagrada Familia Towers and 9 more are being constructed.

Is there an elevator all the way up and down?

No. While there’s an elevator ride up, the descent is by foot only. You'll have to climb down a narrow spiral staircase with 504 steps. It's part of the experience, but not suited for everyone.

Who can’t access the towers?

The towers aren’t recommended for people with mobility issues, claustrophobia, or vertigo. Children under 6 are not allowed, and those under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

How long does the tower visit take?

Plan for about 60–90 minutes, including elevator access, time at the top, and the walk down. This does not include the time taken to explore the Basilica and museum.

Is photography allowed in the towers?

Yes! You can take photos, but tripods, selfie sticks, and large camera equipment are not allowed for safety reasons. The narrow spaces make it hard to use bulky gear.

How tall is the tallest tower in Sagrada Familia?

The tallest tower in Sagrada Familia will be the tower of Jesus which is meant to stand at a height of 172m.

Insightful and Enjoyable Tour with Roger We had a great experience on our group tour of the Sagrada Família with Roger as our guide. He was knowledgeable, clear, and engaging, and did a fantastic job of keeping the group involved and on track. Roger explained the history, architecture, and symbolism of Gaudí’s work in a way that was accessible and interesting, even for those with no background in art or architecture. He was well-prepared, professional, and made sure everyone could follow along, regardless of where we were in the group. What stood out most was his genuine enthusiasm and ability to highlight small details that added so much depth to the experience. He also took the time to answer questions thoughtfully, which we really appreciated. Overall, a very well-organized and informative tour. Roger added a personal touch to a group setting, and we left with a much greater appreciation for the Sagrada Família. Highly recommended!

The Sagrada Família is really worth seeing. It looks a bit playful compared to other churches, but that doesn't matter because the building itself is great. Our guide explained and narrated a lot and in detail and the guided tour in English is also easy to understand.
