Step into the heart of Barcelona’s Eixample district, where the streets themselves tell the story of Antoni Gaudí’s revolutionary vision. Here, amid the grid of this iconic neighborhood, stands the Sagrada Família—Gaudí’s magnum opus, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a monument over a century in the making. Set to be completed in 2026, exactly 100 years after Gaudí’s passing, the anticipation surrounding its finalization is palpable. Join this small-group tour to experience the excitement firsthand and explore Barcelona’s architectural wonders through the eyes of a master.
Your adventure begins at the Sant Pau Hospital, a hidden gem of Modernist architecture often overlooked by tourists. Led by a local accredited art historian, you’ll uncover fascinating stories and insider anecdotes as you make your way toward the Sagrada Família. Along the journey, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the city’s artistic soul and Gaudí’s unparalleled genius.
With skip-the-line tickets included, you’ll step inside the basilica and be awestruck by its breathtaking beauty and ethereal light. The play of sunlight through stained glass, the organic forms of the columns, and the sheer scale of Gaudí’s vision create an experience that transcends architecture—it’s pure magic.
By the end of the tour, you’ll understand why Barcelona and its people played a pivotal role in shaping 20th-century avant-garde movements, from Cubism to Modernism. But when it comes to Modernist architecture, Gaudí stands in a league of his own. While the city is filled with stunning examples of his work, the Sagrada Família remains unlike anything else in the world—a moment you’ll cherish forever.
