Sagrada Familia Prices & Discounts

Sagrada Familia Student and Under-30 Tickets

Quick answerYes, there is a student discount at the Sagrada Familia, and under-30s get the same reduced price. For sagrada familia tickets student buyers, the basic basilica ticket costs €24 instead of €26 in 2026, according to the official prices page. The saving is small, so the real job is getting the paperwork right.

Who qualifies

Two groups get the reduced ticket: people under 30 and people with a student card. Both pay the same price at the time of writing, so you only need one of the two to qualify.

The official ticket page lists "Students" and "Under 30s" side by side under the reduced rates. Seniors, children under 11 and people with disabilities have their own rates, which I cover on the senior tickets page and in the guide for families and kids.

If you're 29 and also hold a student card, you don't pay less than someone with just one of them. The two don't stack.

Is there a student discount on Sagrada Familia tickets?

Yes. On the official site, every individual ticket type has a student rate, and it matches the under-30 rate.

It's a fixed €2 off the basic ticket, not a percentage. For the full range of fares, see the main Sagrada Familia ticket price page.

Discount amount

Students and under-30s save €2 per person on each individual ticket. The basic ticket drops from €26 to €24, and the version with towers drops from €36 to €34.

That's about 8% off the basic ticket. Useful on a student budget, but not a big drop, so don't plan a trip around it.

All prices below are per person and come from the official prices page, and the wider picture is in our Sagrada Familia prices and discounts hub. They can change, so check before you pay.

Is there a student discount at Sagrada Familia Barcelona?

Yes, and it applies to the basilica ticket, the guided tour and both tower versions. The reduction is €2 in each case.

Children under 11 get in free, so students travelling with younger siblings don't need to worry about their fare.

What is the Sagrada Familia student ticket price?

Students pay €24 for the basic ticket with the audioguide app, and €28 with a guided tour, going by the official site in 2026.

Adding towers raises it to €34 without a guide, or €38 with one.

Is there a bigger youth discount?

Possibly. The official ticket page lists a "Pack jove" discount of 50% for people who book as "Under 30" and then choose Carnet Jove, entering their ID number.

That's a separate route from the standard €24 rate, and it depends on holding that youth card. I wouldn't count on it unless you already have one. If you want to see what else is on offer, the promo codes and discounts page covers the rest.

ID you must show

You must show official photo ID, plus proof of your discount. The FAQ says that anyone eligible for a discount has to provide the documentation that proves it.

No proof, no reduced price. Staff check the proof at the entrance, per the ticket page.

Your ticket is also in your name and can't be transferred, so the name you enter when booking has to match the ID you carry.

Do you need a passport for Sagrada Familia?

You need official photo ID, and the rules and regulations accept either a national ID card or a passport. A passport isn't compulsory if you have a valid national ID card.

For a student discount, bring the student card as well. For the under-30 rate, your ID itself shows your age.

What if my student card is not in English?

The sources don't say whether cards in other languages are accepted, so I can't promise either way. The site only asks for documentation that proves you're eligible.

If you're unsure, book as under 30 when your ID shows you qualify. That route needs nothing beyond photo ID.

Booking the reduced ticket online

Choose the reduced fare when you pick your ticket, then enter your details exactly as they appear on your ID. Tickets can only be bought online, and they're released roughly two months ahead.

The official site is one option, but resellers sell the same entry. If you're comparing, official tickets versus resellers explains the difference, and how to buy tickets walks through the steps in English.

Once you've booked, you can show the ticket on the official app, or print it or save it to your phone. It's scanned at the entrance, so you won't need to queue to collect it.

Be on time. Tickets are valid only for the slot you chose, and you can't enter if you arrive late.

Sagrada Família tickets online: where do you buy them?

Buy them through the official app or website, or through an authorised reseller. The official FAQ says direct purchase QR codes around the basilica also work, but only subject to availability.

If you're asking whether you can simply buy tickets at the door, the answer is only partly. For a specific day, book ahead, and see last-minute tickets if you're short on time.

Is there a free day for students?

The official Sagrada Familia site doesn't publish a general free day for students. For the free categories that do exist, read what day Sagrada Familia is free.

Student tickets on resellers

Reseller listings don't always show a student rate, so check before you pay. The GetYourGuide listings I looked at show one "from" price and don't mention a student or under-30 fare.

Open the ticket options on the product page, and if no reduced option appears, use the official site for the €24 rate.

My pick for most students is the official site, simply because the reduced fare is clearly listed there. If you'd rather use a reseller for the flexibility, read GetYourGuide tickets reviewed first.

Frequently asked questions

What do people say about Sagrada Familia student tickets on Reddit?

Threads on this tend to ask whether a foreign student card works and whether the saving is worth the hassle. I can't vouch for forum posts, so rely on the official ticket page: students and under-30s pay €24 instead of €26, with proof shown at the entrance.

What is the best time of day to visit Sagrada Familia on a student budget?

The discount is the same at any time, so pick the slot that suits you. For timing advice, see the best time of day guide.

What is the Golden Hour at Sagrada Familia?

It's a separate tour product rather than a discount. Details are on the Golden Hour tour page.

Yes, I'd book ahead. Tickets are for a fixed time slot and are released roughly two months before the visit. Prices are for 2026 and may change.
