How long does it take to visit Sagrada Familia? from Hartley's blog

Sagrada Familia is a church in Barcelona designed by Antoni Gaudí and completed in 1892. The church has been under construction for over 100 years and has no official opening date. Estimates of the completion date range from 2036 to 2164. Because of this, it is hard to tell how long the visit will take. You can plan a full day (8 hours), but you’ll probably spend several days in the Sagrada Familia area.

How long does it take to visit this church?

The only person who can measure that time is you. My advice is that the best way to experience Sagrada Familia and understand. It is to come back at least twice: once during the day, when the crowds are minimal, and you can enjoy it with some of the background music played in the interior; and another time at night, under all those lights that give Sagrada Familia its unique atmosphere.

Eight hours – if you go very early in the morning (6 AM) or late at night (10 PM). If you’re in Barcelona for 2 or 3 days, this is enough to visit the Sagrada Familia.

One day – if you go to the Sagrada Familia at noon. If you do this, you’ll miss the best part of the day: the sun will shine. And there won’t be many visitors.

Two days – if you go to the Sagrada Familia at noon and then again at night.

Three days – if you go to Sagrada Familia during all day hours, you should book your Sagrada Familia Tour in advance. Because tickets are limited and may have been reserved for a particular time. So, please make your reservation so that you get it for a specific time slot.

A long time – if you go to Sagrada Familia at night and camp in one of the many parking spaces. In that case, you need to plan. Because it is illegal to park in the Sagrada Familia area after 10 PM. you must make a reservation for a parking space earlier (at least a couple of days).

What should I know before visiting?

 If you decide to visit the Sagrada Familia, you should plan at least two or three days in Barcelona. I don’t think it’s a good idea to plan your visit on the same day as your arrival in Barcelona. You’ll need time to adapt to the city and understand how it works; you’ll want to walk around, enjoy its many places and broaden your perspective. Before jumping into a big project like any of Gaudí’s works.
