For standard admission, start with the official site, sagradafamilia.org/tickets. A basic ticket with the audioguide app costs €26, about $29, according to the basilica’s official price list. A guided tour costs €30 (about $33), towers €36 (about $40) and guided tour plus towers €40 (about $45).
Tickets carry your name, and you show your national ID card or passport at entry. Avoid unauthorized ticket resale; an organized guided tour with admission is a different product.

Where to Buy Sagrada Familia Tickets (Official Site vs Resellers)
How to find the official ticket page
The official sales page is sagradafamilia.org/tickets, and the Tickets section sits in the header menu of the main page. Tickets can only be purchased online, according to the official schedules page. Online sales run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The site accepts Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, JCB and American Express. After payment, you get an email with a booking reference number and your tickets.
What third-party listings and tour bundles are
Check the official purchase conditions before buying. Avoid unauthorized resale of individual tickets. When booking a guided tour through a marketplace, check the named operator, admission inclusions, meeting point and cancellation terms.
A guided tour from an operator is a different product, as long as it includes its own entry. Check the official site first, then compare operators only if your date is sold out.

Sagrada Familia Tickets and Prices by Type
Prices are per person, and the final price, including taxes, appears on the site when you buy. Only the prices shown on the website at purchase are valid.
Basilica only vs guided tour
The €26 ticket includes entry and the audioguide app. The €30 ticket adds a guided tour, and you pick the tour language during purchase. The audioguide isn’t available for children under 11.
Our pick for most travelers: the basic €26 ticket. The app covers the basilica, so add a tower only if you want the views.
Tower tickets: what to know
The towers ticket (€36, about $40) includes entry, the app and a visit to one of the two towers, which you choose when buying. You take the lift up and walk down, and the visit takes about 1 hour 30 minutes, per the official tower page. Bags and rucksacks aren’t allowed on the ascent; you store them in temporary lockers and collect them right afterward, says the official FAQ.
Check which tower your ticket includes. The basilica is accessible to visitors with reduced mobility, but the towers are not.
Discounts and free entry
Discounted basic tickets cost €21 for seniors (about $23) and €24 for under-30s and student card holders (about $27). With towers, seniors pay €28 (about $31) and under-30s and students pay €34 (about $38). Children under 11 and people with disabilities enter free, and a disabled visitor’s companion pays €0 for the basic ticket.
Bring documents proving your discount, as the official rules require.
How Far Ahead to Book and What to Do If Tickets Sell Out
Booking window

If your date is sold out
First, check other dates and times on the official site. Then consider an operator’s guided tour with its own entry View the Sagrada Família guided tour with admission on Viator. Skip individually resold tickets, since the basilica doesn’t accept them.
Your ticket is valid only for the time you choose.
