For all the hype that you hear about La Sagrada Familia, nothing will prepare you for how awe-struck you will be when you see it. You really get to appreciate not only the full scope of Gaudi’s work, but also the magnitude of something this grand being built in this day and age. Wow!!! How amazing it must be to be one of the artisans building it. Do not miss this! I am definitely going to go back and see it finished in 2030! If you had read Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett, you will feel transported back in time. (If you haven't read it, you should put that on the top of your book list.)
We opted for the audio tour because we had missed the guided tour. You can’t buy your tickets in advance and then come back. You have to stay there and wait. If you really want the guided tour (admittedly, I think it would have been great had we not had to sit and wait for over an hour) plan to arrive about 30 minutes before the tour. Tours are daily at 11am, 1pm, 3pm & 5pm. However, the audio tour was really well done. Also consider doing some of his smaller museums first. It will help you to understand what he did so uniquely before seeing his his most spectacular work of art.
