The entire area is very alive with people, vendors and police. Very integral part of the Gothic Quarter. Even if u don't go in (they close at 5pm), the exteriors and the entire block is worth a visit.

Great cathedral. It is this style where you can see God’s power. Monumental, darkness and lots of paintings and statues.
Ticket may include tower with landscape view (best option to buy) or just standard visit.

Worth visiting. Tickets are €11 per person. We were not able to come up the rooftop cause of the weather and the elevator broke.

There are also toilets inside but with a €1 fee.

There's also a souvenir shop inside that sells shot glasses. Thought that was funny 🤣

Impressive building with a lot of interesting details. The highlight, of course, is the rooftop with a nice city overview. You should go there during midweek; otherwise, it is much more crowded. Bring clothes which cover your shoulders. The price with the rooftop is 11€ per person - and there will be a Jesus merchandise shop inside. And almost every religious figure you can spot there seems to be sad... only God knows why 😜 The most annoying thing are the persistent clowns and so-called artists in front of the building.

Cheap tickets and quick entry. Some amazing architecture and the cloisters had live birds and a pond inside! There is also a lift up to the roof with great views of the cathedrals spire and of Barcelona

The ticket also includes entrance to the Matisse Exhibitions and we saw a lot of incredible original pieces.

So easy to get the 12 Euro entrance on the phone, entry with the QR code. Beautiful, peaceful and interesting interior.

The geese were a surprise in the cloisters.

Entry includes a trip to the roof, mostly via lift, where you can see most of the rest of the city.

Spent about an hour and a half here but could've spent longer.

This place is so beautiful and impressive and I absolutely adore the attention to details all around. The square is so vivid and when we got there on Friday there was a cute vintage market going on which I absolutely loved the vibe of!! You can walk around the cathedral and the entire thing feels like walking in an ancient city.

Beautiful work. After 2 trips to Spain I do see the churches here are so different than those we see in North America. The gothic style is more attractive to my eyes. The church offers audio recordings apart from the admission and we didn’t use it. The whole place is lacking of information in different languages so I think it is a pity. Still recommend if you’re visiting Barcelona.
