Vale la pena pagar la entrada para subir a las terrazas. Incluye una audio guía en el móvil que explica los diferentes espacios de la catedral y su historia. A destacar el coro de la catedral donde Carlos V reunió a la Orden del Toisón de Oro y tiene representados los escudos heráldicos de sus miembros y la cripta de Santa Eulalia.

Una verdadera obra de arte! Sorprendentemente q la vista, imponente y maravillosa, una obra que aún no está terminada y ya causa un gran impacto visual. Merece la pena visitarla y si dispone de tiempo comprar las entradas para verla por dentro. Pero ya por fuera puedes apreciar la maravillosa obra de arte de Antonio gaudi realmente un genio!!

Su arquitectura es impresionante, además, la ubicación en pleno Barrio Gótico la hace aún más especial, rodeada de calles antiguas y mucho ambiente. No es solo un lugar turístico, también se siente como un espacio vivo, con mucha identidad y espiritualidad. Ideal para recorrer con calma, mirar, sacar fotos y simplemente disfrutar. Totalmente recomendable si estás en Barcelona.

Impacta. Arte y fe en su máxima expresión. Se deberia mantener la organización para el ingreso, pero NO el cobro de tickets. Estos templos maravillosos se hicieron con dinero de la gente, del pueblo, y de la fe. Entiendo la cantidad de gente que la visita dia a dia, y reitero, veo bien que se organicen las visitas. Pero me parece pésimo que se cobren. Me paso en varias catedrales de España (Lugo, Barcelona, entre otras). Monumentos históricos que se erigieron con esfuerzo y dinero del pueblo. La fe se ha vuelto un negocio. Una pena.

Majestic sighting! This is One of the most beautiful Gothic buildings in Barcelona! The Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia also known as Barcelona Cathedral, is the seat of the Archbishop of Barcelona in Catalonia, Spain.

Visited the Cathedral of Barcelona (La Seu) and admired it from the outside — the façade is absolutely stunning and one of those landmarks that instantly tells you you’re in the heart of the city. It’s a major Gothic cathedral and a key historic site in Barcelona, sitting right in the Gothic Quarter at Pla de la Seu, near Plaça Nova. Even without going in, the architecture, details, and atmosphere around the square make it well worth a stop, especially if you’re walking around Ciutat Vella. Tip: Visit early morning or near sunset for better photos and fewer crowds — and if you have time later, it’s worth coming back to see the cloister and rooftop views.

We didn't go inside, but the cathedral was stunning and grand enough just viewing it from the outside. The way it blended with the nearby markets during the Christmas season was truly impressive. However, tourists should be careful: I saw costumed people near the Christmas tree offering to take photos and then demanding money. Please stay alert!

I’ve been to many cathedrals across Europe, and this is one of the grandest I’ve ever seen, with extraordinary detail and meticulous architecture. This is a must go when you’re in Barcelona. There is also a small garden with animals outside.

Pros • Impressive Gothic architecture, solid and monumental. • The cloister patio is the real standout and the reason this place earns five stars for me. The patio is genuinely beautiful: palm trees, the famous geese, and the nativity scene create a calm, almost surreal atmosphere in the very center of the city. Cons • The interior of the cathedral itself, while correct and dignified, is not particularly memorable compared to other major European cathedrals. • The visit is relatively short if you exclude the cloister. My tips • Don’t rush through the cloister. Sit for a moment and actually take it in. This is the highlight. • If you’re short on time, focus on the courtyard first. That’s where the magic is. • Respect the dress code. • Treat the cathedral as a contrast piece, not a competitor to Sagrada Família. Different mood, different purpose.

Fantastic cathedral, The view from the rooftop was terrific. We visited here on Christmas Eve, so we were able to hear the pipe organ being played.(maybe practicing for Christmas?) I strongly recommend here.

The Barcelona Cathedral is absolutely breathtaking. We stayed at the Lamaro Hotel right across the courtyard and had an amazing view of it from our room—beautiful day and night. Walking around the area was just as memorable: the cobblestone streets, the historic bridge, and the entire Gothic Quarter setting make the cathedral feel even more special. A must-see landmark that captures the heart of Barcelona.

Barcelona Cathedral is one of the most impressive examples of Gothic architecture and a magnificent structure located in the city's historic center. Built between the 13th and 15th centuries, the cathedral stands out for both its fine stonework on its exterior and its elegant towers. Its dedication to Santa Eulàlia gives the structure its special religious and historical significance. The elaborate carvings on the facade and the magnificence of the towers, in particular, provide stunning shots for photography enthusiasts. Its historical character and architectural beauty make it a must-see in Barcelona..

We purchased ticket online to enter but we also we walked around and there are some areas of free entry. It is a beautiful building in the gothic quarter and very interesting to walk around. Inside the church is spectacular and the audio guide is one of the best we have had. You can get access to the terrace which has a great view of the city. The architecture and history is incredibly interesting and I loved the geese. I would highly recommended visiting.

G Mac

A beautiful exterior. The whole area ( called the gothic region) had amazing buildings. We don’t go inside ( there is a €16 entry fee) but walked around the whole area. There were street performers and interesting shops. A place you must see if in Barcelona’s.

Absolutely stunning piece of architecture. Very quite and peaceful inside the cathedral. Tickets are required to enter but if you want to pray then you can enter the cathedral and turn right and goto a small chapel of pray. Its is must visit place in Barcelona.

If you are visiting Barcelona, this is definitely a must! The outside of the Sagrada Família is huge and very detailed. You can take some really great pictures and videos if you find the right angles. We were part of a private tour with only 9 people including us, and our tour guide did a wonderful job explaining the history and process behind building the cathedral, along with the symbolism of certain parts of the building. I heavily recommend you also pay for a tour as well, because it was interesting learning about the cathedral. The inside of the cathedral was even more jaw-dropping than the outside, as the colored window panes casted beautiful rainbow all around the interior. The architecture and structure of the cathedral was so complex and impressive and I definitely recommend you take time to just look around at your surroundings and see everything for yourself. There is also a museum and a gift shop you can visit at the end, and I bought two pencils, a mini replica of a colored window pane, and a pin to add to my back pack. You should definitely come here if you want to be in awe!

We hadn't planned to visit the cathedral but as there as no queue we bought a ticket and went in and are we glad we did! The roof top view was amazing. The cathedral itself is impressive too but the rooftop view stole the show. Would recommend a visit

I LOVED this cathedral. It's classic Gothic style, versus Sagrada that's very artsy and new age/different IMO. It wasn't busy at all, and I went on a Saturday afternoon. The basic ticket includes the rooftop visit. Plus, the outdoor area is so beautiful. Definitely take a peek when you're here!

La catedral es preciosa, aunquee parece caro pagar 9 euros por entrar (16 para poder subir al tejado). Encima no te dejan visitar la capilla del cristo de Lepanto (dicen que es solo para oración)

El altar es sencillo comparado con el de otras catedrales, pero las imágenes y esculturas eran asombrosas junto con un ambiente de espiritualidad. En definitiva, un magnífico lugar para impregnarse de cultura e historia de la iglesia de Cataluña.

Como residente de Barcelona, es un sitio al que no se viene a menudo, pero cada vez que se pasa por delante impone. El claustro con los gansos sigue teniendo ese punto tranquilo que contrasta con el ruido exterior y el gótico catalán se aprecia incluso entrando solo un rato. A veces hay espectáculos callejeros o algún mercado navideño que cambia bastante el ambiente. Subir a la terraza en la azotea en ascensor está bien si apetece parar un momento y ver la ciudad desde arriba, aunque entre edificios modernos y alguna valla publicitaria se rompe un poco la magia. No es un lugar de visita constante, pero forma parte del paisaje y de la historia cotidiana de la ciudad. Eso si, tendrían que echarle un ojo a las zonas que necesiten un retoque.

La Catedral de Barcelona es uno de esos lugares que tengo tan integrados en la ciudad que casi pasan desapercibidos… hasta que entras. Me pasa que puedo llevar meses sin hacerlo, pero cuando cruzo la puerta noto enseguida cómo baja el ritmo. El claustro es siempre lo primero que busco, sobre todo por los gansos, que siguen ahí ajenos a todo y ayudan a crear ese silencio tan raro en pleno centro. El gótico catalán se percibe de forma muy natural, sin necesidad de mirarlo con ojos de turista. En alguna ocasión he subido en ascensor hasta la terraza en la azotea, más por curiosidad que por otra cosa. Las vistas no son de postal perfecta, pero sí muy reales: tejados, edificios nuevos... y la sensación de estar viendo la ciudad desde dentro, no desde fuera. Dependiendo del día, al salir te puedes encontrar espectáculos callejeros que le dan otro aire al entorno y hacen que la experiencia cambie bastante. No es un sitio al que venga por costumbre, pero forma parte de mi manera de entender Barcelona. Un lugar con mucha historia, con rincones que siguen funcionando y otros que agradecerían un pequeño cuidado, pero que mantiene una presencia muy fuerte en la vida de la ciudad.

Se ve muy bonita por fuera. Hay que pagar para entrar (no entré). La misa es solo para los residentes de Barcelona (piden DNI). No sé si hay misa internacional.

The Barcelona Cathedral is undeniably beautiful grand Gothic architecture, soaring ceilings, peaceful cloisters, and a charming square in front where you can sit and take in the atmosphere. It’s well-preserved, historically rich, and offers a calm break from the busy streets of the Gothic Quarter. Walking around inside gives you a real sense of old Barcelona and its religious heritage. However, rating it feels tricky. In almost any other city, this would be a top attraction. But in Barcelona—where Gaudí’s masterpieces like Sagrada Família, Casa Batlló, and Park Güell steal the spotlight it doesn’t have the same “wow” factor. If those didn’t exist, the cathedral would feel much more impressive and memorable. Still, it’s worth a visit, especially if you’re already exploring the historic center. Go early or later in the day for a quieter experience, admire the exterior, wander through the cloister, and enjoy the surrounding neighborhood. A solid and meaningful stop just keep expectations realistic if you’ve already seen the big Gaudí icons.

€16 para entrar en la casa de nuestro señor Jesucristo? Es una catedral básica, pero entiendo el por qué se encuentra entre las 150 más visitadas en el mundo.
