Cathedral of Barcelona

When I passed this cathedral for the third time, I saw people collecting tickets. I checked and bought tickets and was glad I did because this cathedral is beautiful.

Finally, saw what a crypt looked like. How the confessionals and choir areas were.

It's quite a walk up the tower to the roof. The views from the roof were also lovely overlooking the Montjuic on one side and Sagrada on the other.

Of course, you cannot see the intricate detailing in the sculptures and carvings in the pictures so you have to see it with your own eyes. The grandeur and the beauty is worth it.

Beautiful cathedral where you will pay €15 for entrance to see museum, cathedral and rooftop. They had some technical issues to see the rooftop, but everything else was wonderful. You also scan barcode and you get an audio guide. Very nice and peaceful. Pretty garden outside with the famous white geese chilling in the middle of the garden. The cathedral is easy to find with Google maps, and it’s pretty central too.

It's an amazing place, the rooftop visit is a highlight, offering awe-inspiring panoramic views that provide a unique vantage point to appreciate the city's charm. Inside, the cathedral's ancient architecture showcases impeccable craftsmanship, creating a space that exudes a profound sense of holiness. A visit here is a journey through time and an opportunity to experience the spiritual ambiance that defines this remarkable place.

We han an amazing visit
The balcony is a must see, the views of barcelona are one of the best I've seen.
There is a digital audio guide to download and learn the history of the cathedral.
You can donate to light a candle and speak to make a confession if you wish.
The artwork, upkeep, and infrastructure of the cathedral were incredible.
The old woodwork and painted ceilings, as well as stained glass, was one of my favourites.
The walk up the tower to the balcony has been reserved and kept the same throughout the years so you can immerse yourself in the history as you visit.
We purchased tickets in line for 14€/person (tourist entrance), it was worth every penny.
There was no line and with this ticket we could visit all the small chapels inside and small museum with the historic armour and weaponry

The Barcelona Cathedral is my favorite spot in the city. Its beauty and remarkable architecture create a captivating experience, especially within the stunning interior.

Don't miss the rooftop – my personal favorite – offering an amazing city view. Seeing Barcelona from this elevated perspective is a must for a truly enchanting visit!

I purchased my ticket from the visitors center located beside the cathedral and the interior was breathtaking which left me mesmerized. And oh! The view of the city from the rooftop was so beautiful. A beautiful masterpiece of architecture, design and art!
It’s located in the centre of the charming city and within walking distance to other tourist locations. I highly recommend visiting this location whenever you find yourself in Barcelona.

The Cathedral of Barcelona is such a beautiful, gothic building! Some of the best views can be had from the terrace of the hotel across the street from it, but is also amazing at the foot of the steps. So many people gather here in worship and awe.

Magnificent gothic cathedral in central Barcelona. You have to see it live to appreciate the captivating architecture. Also well lit & quite remarkable at night. There's a small market parked next door (during the day) selling vintage goods. A hop & skip away from my hotel so it became a daily ritual to stop by. An absolute must visit!

Really beautiful Cathedral. You would not think by looking at it from the outside that it is particularly remarkable to any other cathedral, but I definitely recommend purchasing a ticket to go inside. It has a stunning interior, with so much to take in.

Do not miss the opportunity to take the elevator up to the roof. It's a part of your ticket!

Be careful of the 2 white faced ladies who loiter around the front of the cathedral and who deliberately photo bomb your photos and pose with you. They are not doing it for nothing, and payment is x 2!! 😂

Buy your tickets days in advance! The tough lesson I have learned in Barcelona is when they say "reserve in advance" it means "we sell out and you wont get in without reserving in advance". There is truly no waiting in line for tickets anywhere. Quick change of plans and we toured a couple days later, and it was worth it. The audio tour, approx 45 min, took us 2.5 hours to complete. If you are a history nerd, double any projected times for attractions.

As a tourist who only had the chance to see the exterior of the Cathedral of Barcelona from the square, I was truly mesmerized by its stunning architecture. The cathedral's intricate details, soaring spires, and harmonious blend of Gothic and Catalan styles left a lasting impression.

The cathedral's ornate carvings, delicate decorations, and impressive rose windows contribute to its majestic appearance. Standing in its presence, I couldn't help but appreciate the rich history and cultural heritage of this region.

While I didn't have the opportunity to explore the interior, the exterior alone was a testament of beautiful architecture so prevalent throughout this region and Barcelona. I would highly recommend taking a moment to admire it when visiting the city. Its beauty and craftsmanship are bound to leave you in awe.

Our hotel was right outside the cathedral so we went during the day and the grounds are serene and beautiful, especially the outdoor courtyard. At night the church is lit up and there were street performers in the square. Both atmospheres were great, I love how the church looked at night.

Beautiful Cathedral, we paid extra for the tower visit which has beautiful views across the city, we went Monday morning and wasn't too busy and got to tickets from the visitor center next to the cathedral on arrival. We had to queue for the lift to the top but only 8 people can go up at a time which is fair. The architecture in the cathedral is beautiful, well worth the visit

Must see place, highly recomend, from the roof are great view, also there are alot of beautifual things

A beautiful cathedral is the Gothic Quarter in a beautiful area with cafes and shops. You can get tickets for to enter just to the side by the tourist information office or online. It is worth a visit to see the beautiful architecture and view from the top (extra charge). There was a long line to go up to the top, so keep this in mind if you have limited time to visit. Visitors can also light a candle, stop to pray, enjoy to sanctuary, visit the geese and the courtyard.

Our only disappointment was the huge stage and staging area set up in front of the cathedral for a festival. But, it did not take away from the overall experience.

Location: Gothic Quarter close to metro stops and taxi drop off areas

Omg this place!!!! The most beautiful Gothic style church I have ever seen. This was a main focus for me and it did not disappoint. From the gorgeous outside, the detailing, stained glass windows, and woodwork. Simply wonderful

Barcelona Cathedral, where the Archbishop resides. It is said that only archbishops reside in Sagria Family. It is a cathedral that is sufficiently beautiful and worthy. Don't miss out and visit. We were lucky enough to stay in a hotel with a view of the cathedral, so we were able to see the cathedral as a starting point every day wherever we went. It is true that we are blessed.

A very beautiful place. Need time to soak in the beauty of the cathedral. Also need time to queue to go up the tower. The lift takes up to 8pax at one time. Going up the tower is a MUST. And give yourself time to stay up there. Evening time is the best.

We visited.here before flying home. It did not disappoint. We also went up the tower to the top of the cathedral.
It was so peaceful inside and the alters were absolutely beautiful.

Beautiful Gothic cathedral in excellent condition. Pretty cloisters with 13 resident geese. A lift to the roof offers splendid views of the entire city. Recommended.
