83%La Sagrada Familia

Scam, do not pay 8€ to enter. All you will see is scaffolding, the best views of this fantastic builing are from the park outside, very disappointing inside due to building works

Gaudi's unfinished masterpiece is arguably Barcelona's best-known site and a 'must-see'. Some say you don't need to go inside to appreciate it as the photos you see of it are always taken from outside.

Some say you don't need to go inside to appreciate it as the photos you see of it are always taken from outside. But it's interesting to see what it will look like when it's finished and you only see this by visiting the exhibition which is inside.close

Admission charge is €7 and this includes entrance to an excellent museum in the crypt. Four sky scraping towers make up the sides of the Church and you can take a lift to the top. Gaudi used many real animals and models for his sculptures but in the latter years of his life, he was motivated by his stark religious conviction.If you only have time for one tourist attraction in Barcelona, this should be it. It is impossible not to be humbled by the splendour and intricate design of 'God's architect'. Guided tours are offered up to four times daily and audioguides are also available.close

What can I say the Sagrada Família is the most famous work of Gaudí, to which he dedicated all his life to the extreme that he lived inside the precinct to closely follow the works. <br><br> Amazing archicture really worth the visit.

You can take the elevator 65m. of height within the Passion façade. Unfortunately I didn't go up as the q was too long. <br><br> Take the Metro: L2, L5 (Sagrada Família)close

The exterior is really impressive and quite mind blowing. The interior is still full of scafolding but you can see through a self guided display board the progress made over recent years. If you are saving the pennies don't go in. Most people that pay in spend their time outside anyway!

The main attraction being to climb up to the top of the building with nice views of Barcelona and to get a closer look to the amazing architecture of the towers. It's different from every angle.<br><br>Some locals say that the reason why is still under construction is because that makes people to come back to Barcelona to see whether or not it is finished. It is open from 9 am to 6 pmclose
