Barcelona Walking Tour: Sagrada Familia, Gaudi and Gothic Quarter

Barcelona walking tour option

The only option is a 3 hour walk in English, departing at 10:30 or 15:30 on weekdays. Plan around: a separate Basilica entry slot if you want to go inside as well. Prices are the lowest listed, per adult, ages 16 to 99; the hours and the days belong to each option.

Does the Barcelona walking tour go inside the Sagrada Família?

The Roots and Roads Barcelona walking tour visits the Sagrada Família from outside during its 3 hour route. Basilica admission is excluded, and the English option has no interior upgrade. The guide explains the façades before continuing towards Passeig de Gràcia. Your interior visit needs a separate ticket and time slot.

What's included

The English option includes the guide and exterior visits; attraction tickets and all transport are separate.

Walking tour or official Sagrada Família ticket?

The €26 Sagrada Família ticket opens the Basilica and museum; the exterior walking tour starts at €24.40 per adult. The official ticket also includes the audioguide app. The tour price covers 3 hours with a local guide across Barcelona. The walk covers façades by Gaudí and the Gothic Quarter.
