  • The architecture and history of the Cathedral makes this site a must. The only frustration was the poor experience with the audio-tour guide, which was difficult to follow and kept converting back...

  • Unbelievable, so many years of history destroyed by having a big ugly advertisement of Samsung right in the middle of the roof.

  • This is a must see if one visit Barcelona, Spain. I took a one day city tour bus (green line) to reached there, paid euro 30 for 1 adult. I sat on the open top tour bus, when the bus about to reached the cathedral from afar and stopped next to it, the excitement built up and one word ‘breathtaking’! Literally my jaw dropped, and my eyes were feasting on this cathedral! Word had to give new meaning. The cathedral was very grand, tall, a lot of details, very, very beautiful and one had to take time to admire it and gave thanks for able to view such a creation. I spend my entire afternoon admiring the cathedral. So much to see and appreciate.
  • Awesome cathedral with tons to look at. It has a bunch of walk up exhibits to look at various paintings and sculptures. The inside of the building is magnificent with the stained glass and high ceiling interior. The front is closed off from getting up close but you can still see it from afar. The rooftop experience is alright - nothing special. My only gripe is the only restroom is outside near the exit and requires payment
  • From the Cathedral itself, to the square it is located in, is definitely worth a visit... the square offers social interaction with musicians performing, dogs playing and people socializing. The cathedral is breathtaking from every angle and make for amazing pictures. The beauty of the architecture and spirituality of the place is just exceptional. Would recommend a visit to everyone, even if you are not religious
  • Another amazing place to see. You can buy tickets online and use a QR code. Or you can go to the information building next door and purchase tickets to go in. Along with the general admission ticket you can go to the roof and over look the city on the skyline. Be respectful when you enter and enjoy all of the history
  • This cathedral is one of the most iconic and famous places/monuments. It exactly deserves to visit and spend a couple of hours. By the elevator, you can go to the roof and see the fascinating view of Barcelona. Although some parts of the top are under construction, there is enough space to look around. Also, in the small museum in its garden, you can see a lot of antics goods. After your visit, you can discover the gothic streets
