    Basilica de la Sagrada Familia

    Skip the line and explore Gaudí’s masterpiece inside and out with your expert guide. Discover the stories and symbolism of the Nativity and Passion façades. Step inside the basilica, where soaring tree-like columns and spectacular stained glass create Gaudí’s vision of a forest filled with light and learn how nature, faith and geometry shaped his revolutionary design. Walking among columns designed to branch overhead like trees, your guide explains how Gaudí drew his style from religious, natural, and Catalonian influences. Stained-glass windows cast warm red and orange light through the Passion facade in the morning, and cooler blues and greens through the Nativity facade by afternoon. Ride the elevator up one of the basilica's towers for a close-up look at the mosaic-covered pinnacles before the view opens onto Barcelona's rooftops below. Descend by the tower's spiral staircase, a narrow route built directly into the structure.
