Sagrada Família in the morning

About This Place

Still the easiest place to put at the start of the day. The light is better, the mood is calmer, and it feels less flattened than later on. Good first stop when you want Barcelona to hit immediately.

Location

Basílica de la Sagrada Família - Barcelona, Spain

Things to Know

If you want to go inside, book ahead. Morning slots disappear fast.
Exterior works from first light. Interior hours depend on the day and season.

Photo Tips

Photo tips
Wide works for the full building. Tighter details are good once the light hits the carvings.

Morning light on the Nativity side is the reason this stop comes first. It really does look better then.
