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.

Open days will take place on February 14 and 15, with free ticket holders eligible to enter between 3pm – 5.30pm and 3pm – 7pm respectively. Planning to be in Barcelona on those dates? Listen up.
To enter the competition for free tickets, you’ll need to register via the form on the official website by 9pm local time on Sunday February 8. The lucky list of winners will be published there on Monday February 9, and should you be successful, you’ll be granted not two, not three, but four tickets for your selected time slot.
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.
