Easily as worthy as its many heritage counterpart structures in this bountiful city of wondrous architecture, it still seems like a hidden gem that gets overlooked amidst multiple world heritage sites. It is not just a beautiful building, it is one of the most photo-worthy UNESCO sites in town. Gorgeously preserved seats, wood, sculptures, stained glass, historic cafe, and don't miss those yummy balcony columns outside! There is much to love here, but if you are short on time and can only snap photos and move along, you can see it all in 20 minutes. Squeeze it in. It's one of the most beautiful buildings you've never heard of.

I was a little disappointed that during the night performance, the patio area with the famous mosaic columns was completely closed off. It's one of the highlights of the building, and I was really hoping to see it lit up at night. Apparently, it's only open during day tours, which is kind of a bummer if you're only going for a show. Also, heads up -- the main photo you see everywhere is taken from the upstairs balcony seats, so if that's the view you want, book accordingly.

We took our time exploring the apartments, courtyards, and attic, and it was fascinating to see how far ahead of its time the design was. Even if you're not an architecture enthusiast, it's easy to appreciate the creativity behind every corner. My favourite part was the rooftop; the famous chimney sculptures and panoramic views over Barcelona were beautiful and there were plenty of photo opportunities. The audio guide was helpful and explained the history and design very carefully and clearly. If you're planning to visit, booking your tickets in advance is a good idea since it gets quite busy, especially during the summer.

We were thrilled to find that our entry ticket was a bar of dark chocolate. There are really only four components of this somewhat small museum. 1) Displays made of chocolate: They are very cool. Many items are of local interest like El Drac, the famous lizard at the fountain at Parc Guell. I liked the giant bear since that is a meaningful symbol for our family. I think anyone who sculpts is very talented. 2) Education - You will see exhibits and displays about the origins of cacao (teaching about the Maya and the Aztecs) and learn how the Spanish explorers brought chocolate to Europe. 3) Manufacturing - They have some historical machinery and displays showing how cacao beans are turned into the chocolate that we love. 4) Café and shop - We enjoyed getting a coffee, and a hot chocolate after. They also sell pastries. I will tell you that that chocolate bars and individual truffles they sell at the shop are very good quality, We took some home to family and everyone was pleased. It won't take you long to tour the museum but if you're a chocolate lover I think it's time well-spent. It cost 8 euros when I visited which I thought was reasonable considering I got to eat my ticket.

There's also a nice little chocolate shop.

Each side of the pristine chapel has beautiful meaning and full of rich and tells the story of Christ. Few notes: there is a restroom and souvenir shop available. 5 stars because anything less would be sacrilegious and disrespectful.

It boasts bold, wildly creative, unmistakable organic architecture and décor inside and out - from its melting Glory Façade to its skull-like Passion Façade to its rainforest-esque interior. Really spectacular! We came at the end of the day, and the light was flooding through the stained glass window. We also did the Bell tower which has gorgeous panoramic views of the city. You take the elevator up and then down about 300 stairs down a narrow, winding staircase. Note: Buy timed entry reservations in advance, and make sure you book on the official website: www.sagradafamilia.org. I initially got scammed by Feel the City and paid €340, instead of €140. I hate that; the scammer sites are very official looking.
