Sagrada Familia Ticket Types
Sagrada Familia Entry Ticket with Audio Guide
What the entry ticket covers
The basic entry ticket covers the basilica and the museum for as long as you like, plus the audio guide in the official app. According to the official ticket page, it doesn't cover the towers or the crypt.
It's one of four individual options. If you're comparing the full lineup, the hub page on Sagrada Familia ticket types lays them side by side. For this page, the basic ticket is the only one that matters.
Your ticket also has a fixed time slot. You must come during it, and the official FAQs say a late arrival can't get in. Tickets are named. You'll fill in personal details at purchase, and you'll show photo ID at the door.
What does the Sagrada Familia entry ticket with audio guide include?
It includes entry to the basilica, the museum, the official app and the audio guide inside that app. The official page lists the general price at 26 € in 2026.
The GetYourGuide version, Sagrada Familia Entry Ticket with Audio Guide, lists the entry ticket, the audio guide app and a booking fee. It starts from $38 and has 4.64 stars from 122,289 reviews at the time of writing. The gap against 26 € is the price of buying through a reseller, and I cover it in GetYourGuide Sagrada Familia tickets reviewed.
What are the ticket and audio guide details?
Keep it simple: a timed slot, a downloaded app and about an hour inside. The official page gives the approximate duration as 1 hour.
On GetYourGuide, the listing is valid for one day and asks you to check availability for start times. It offers free cancellation up to 2 days before, which is more flexible than the official rule: as a general rule, the basilica doesn't exchange or refund tickets.
Short on time? Sagrada Familia Entry Ticket with Audio Guide, from $38See skip-the-line tickets →How the audio guide app works
You download the official Sagrada Familia app, open the audio guide inside it and listen through your own earphones. The basilica says to download the app before you come and to bring a fully charged phone.
So nothing is lent to you. The GetYourGuide listing says the ticket doesn't include a smartphone or headphones, so both are on you.
Earphones aren't just a courtesy. Since 2 February 2026, the hour from 9:00 to 10:00 is a quiet hour, and the rules and regulations require earphones for audioguides during it.
Is there a Sagrada Familia audio guide app?
Yes. It's the official Sagrada Familia app, available for iOS and Android, and the audio guide is a download inside it.
You can also show your ticket in the same app, or print it or save it to your phone. You'll scan it at the entrance either way.
Route and length of the audio tour
There are two audio guide versions: the standard one runs 45 minutes and the express one runs 25. The official page puts the whole visit at roughly an hour.
The official site doesn't publish a stop-by-stop route, so I won't invent one. What the official page does say is that the visit covers the Nativity and Passion facades, the interior, and the museum on life and work of Gaudi. With the guide you also get access to the "What you don't see" augmented reality project, which shows hidden areas of the basilica.
Children under 10 are the exception. The audio guide is not adapted for them.
| Ticket | Price | Audio guide app | Towers | Guide |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sagrada Familia (basic) | 26 € | Yes | No | No |
| With guided tour | 30 € | Yes | No | Yes |
| With towers | 36 € | Yes | Yes | No |
| With guided tour and towers | 40 € | Yes | Yes | Yes |
How long is the Sagrada Familia audio tour?
Plan on 45 minutes for the standard audio tour and 25 for the express version. Count on about an hour for the full visit, per the official page.
Because the ticket allows you to stay in the basilica and museum as long as you like, the audio guide is a spine for the visit, not a time limit. Nothing cuts you off.
Going up a tower? Sagrada Familia Guided Tour with Skip-the-Line Entry Ticket, from $77Check tower times →What the basic ticket excludes
It excludes the towers, the crypt and any human guide. The GetYourGuide listing makes the same split: no tour guide, and tower access only if you pick that option when booking.
That's the trade-off, plain and simple. You save money and keep the pace, but nobody answers questions. If you want a person, the official guided ticket is 30 €, and I explain the choice in Sagrada Familia guided tour and is the guided tour worth it compared with the audio guide.
Can you get a Sagrada Familia ticket without audio guide?
On the official site, the basic 26 € ticket comes with the audio guide app, and I found no cheaper version without it. You don't have to use the guide, so in practice you can walk in without it.
If you want to skip waiting, advance tickets let you enter without queuing, which I cover in skip-the-line tickets explained. If you want exact fees for each ticket, see Sagrada Familia ticket price. Seniors have their own rate, covered on the senior tickets page.
Visiting soon? Sagrada Familia Entry Ticket with Audio Guide, from $38See open dates →Who it suits
It suits visitors who like their own pace, own a charged phone with earphones, and don't need a person to explain things. I'd pick it for most solo travellers, couples and anyone watching their budget.
I wouldn't pick it if you want the towers or if you travel with children under 10, because the audio guide isn't adapted for them. In those cases look at the guided ticket instead, or read the full list of Sagrada Familia ticket types.
Is there a self-guided tour available for the Sagrada Familia?
Yes, the basic entry ticket with the audio guide app is the self-guided option. You walk in on your slot, listen on your phone and leave when you're done.
Timing matters. I'd choose the 9:00 slot, though you'll need earphones that hour. For other times, my page on the best time to visit Sagrada Familia goes through it.
Travelling with kids? Sagrada Familia Tour with Express Entry and Local Guide, from $77Check family options →Book the audio guide ticket
Book the basic ticket on the official site if the slot you want is open, or through GetYourGuide if it isn't. Which is which is explained in the official website for tickets.
The official site sells tickets roughly two months ahead and says tickets can only be bought online. The GetYourGuide listing is the one to check when you need a date the official calendar doesn't show. This site earns a commission if you book through it.
Before you pay, check three things: the date and time slot, whether you've picked a tower option you didn't mean to, and that every name on the booking matches the photo ID of the person holding it.
Frequently asked questions
Does Sagrada Familia have an audio guide?
Yes. The basic ticket includes an audio guide that you download through the official Sagrada Familia app. It comes in a standard version of 45 minutes and an express version of 25 minutes.
Is there a free download of the Sagrada Familia audio guide?
The sources I use don't describe a standalone free audio guide. The audio guide is part of the ticket and you reach it through the official app, so you download the app first and use the guide on your visit. Bring earphones and a charged phone.
Can I get my Sagrada Familia ticket with audio guide as a PDF?
You can print your ticket or download it to your phone, or show it in the official app. The official FAQs say you'll scan it at the entrance. A PDF of the audio guide itself isn't mentioned in the sources.
Is there a Sagrada Familia audio guide transcript PDF?
I found no transcript PDF in the official sources. They describe an app-based audio guide, so I'd check the app itself, or contact Visitor Services through the official FAQs.
What languages is the Sagrada Familia audio guide in?
The audio guide is available in 19 languages. There are also sign-guides in Catalan, Spanish and International Sign.
