Antoni Gaudí’s glorious Sagrada Familia is on every traveller’s Barcelona bucket list, but the chance to soak up all its architectural splendour without spending a single cent? That’s an opportunity too good to pass up.
To mark this year’s Festa Santa Eulàlia – that’s Barcelona’s annual Winter Festival, which celebrates the eponymous patron saint of the city – 8,500 tickets to visit the Basilica, the museum and its shiny new immersive room (which only opened its doors in December), plus the Schools, are being raffled off.

Oh, and if you’re a Barcelona resident but have no luck in the draw this time, never fear. To mark the centenary of Gaudí’s passing, 2026 has been dubbed ‘Gaudí Year’ by the city, and locals can benefit from 50 percent discounts on Sagrada Familia tickets.
