The quick take

City

Book the timed sights online, then leave the rest of the day loose. A normal transit ticket and an airport ticket are not interchangeable. Check your entry window before heading to Park Guell or the Sagrada Familia.

SAGRADA

Yes, and the inside more than the outside. But there's no ticket office, so the €26 ticket has to be bought online before you go.

Is the Sagrada Família worth it?

Yes. Book it online.

Practical tips

Before
you go

Details

Getting around. €2.90 a ride. TMB single ticket. A T-casual starts at €13 for ten journeys.

Airport → city. €5.90. TMB's airport ticket for metro L9 Sud. The T-casual doesn't open the airport gates.

Tipping. Not obligatory. Barcelona Turisme says people usually leave 5% when they're happy with the service.

Closing days. Rarely. The Sagrada Família opens daily. On 25–26 Dec and 1 and 6 Jan it closes at 14:00.

Check before you commit. Not a live alert; check the operator on the day.

City figures were checked against operator and venue sources on 10 Nov 2026. Venues and operators change prices without notice. Check the source before you go.

  1. There's no Sagrada Família ticket office.

    The basilica says tickets can only be purchased online. Turning up without one is a photo from the street.

  2. Your T-casual won't open the airport gates.

    TMB: it's not valid at the Aeroport T1 and T2 stations on L9 Sud. Buy the €5.90 airport ticket for that leg.

  3. A Park Güell slot is a start time.

    You get 30 minutes after the time on your ticket to enter. After that, you're outside the gate.
