Barcelona Cathedral: Skip The Line Ticket + Guided Morning Tour + Breakfast

About this experience

About Barcelona Cathedral: Skip The Line Ticket + Guided Morning Tour + Breakfast This is an early-access guided tour of Barcelona Cathedral, the Gothic church at the heart of the city's Barri Gòtic, combined with a traditional breakfast at a nearby restaurant. The cathedral, formally known as the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia, was begun in 1298 on the site of an earlier Romanesque church and took over 150 years to complete. Its nave, cloister with thirteen white geese, and elaborately carved choir stalls are among the most studied examples of Catalan Gothic architecture in Spain. The tour runs for one hour and fifteen minutes and begins before the cathedral opens to the general public, giving a quieter setting in which to take in the building's details. The focus includes the life and martyrdom of Saint Eulalia, co-patron of Barcelona, whose remains are held in the crypt beneath the high altar. What to expect A live guide leads the group through all areas of the cathedral, covering the stained-glass windows, the Gothic cloister, and the story of Saint Eulalia. From the cathedral's terraces, there are clear views across the rooftops of the old city in the early morning light. Entry is via skip-the-line access from the starting point at 3 Pla de la Seu, so there is no queuing at the main entrance. After the tour, a breakfast voucher is included for use at Bilbao Berria, a restaurant close to the cathedral, where a traditional local breakfast is served. Gratuities for the guide are optional and not covered by the ticket price. Barcelona Cathedral and getting there The Barcelona Cathedral stands on Pla de la Seu in the Barri Gòtic, within easy walking distance of the Jaume I metro station on Line 4. The façade facing the square was completed in the early twentieth century, while the lateral walls and cloister date to the medieval construction period. For other ways to spend time in the area, the Barcelona attractions hub lists a range of options across the city.
