View from the Tower at the Sagrada Familia

18 May 2014


We enjoyed going up one of the towers of La Sagrada Familia, but in the spirit of full disclosure, I didn't think it was as awe-inspiring as expected. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad we did it, in a kind of check-that-one-off-the-list kind of way, but I wouldn't pay to do it again. 

Here's what you get:
- an elevator ride up to the top one of the towers
- a different perspective of the Cathedral
- an awesome panoramic view of the city
- long single-file walk back down

The views of the Cathedral are limited because of the tall railings and thick walls, so I had a hard time getting a clear view. Plus, it's pretty tight quarters and you're maneuvering around maybe 20 other people up there.

There are one or two areas where you can go out on a balcony and get some good pictures of the cathedral and the city, but those are hot-spots and you will have to wait your turn.

And once you're done, get ready and hold on for dear life for the single-file long walk down.  

Eh. To each there own, but I found the exterior and the interior to be wayy more worth the money.
