Hello fellow travelers!
First, let me apologize if I am asking a question that’s probably been brought up many times! However, I am trying to plan our trip to Barcelona and am confused ( even after checking out the website and different travel forums) about the timing of a visit to La Sagrada. On their website, it looks like tickets to the towers cannot be purchased separately from the basic tour and audio guide, but one must choose a timed entry for one of the towers. So, if I book a tower for say, 11:00 a.m., will I be allowed to enter the Basilica when it opens at 9:00 a.m., or must I wait until 15 minutes prior to the tower time to enter? I realize I can stay in the Basilica for as long as I wish, AFTER the tower, but I just am not sure about how far in advance of the tower timed entry I can enter. I really want to try to see the basilica either early, before the crowds begin, or in the early evening, which I’ve also heard can be less crowded.
Any advice is greatly welcomed!!
