Holiday and special-occasion hours
The venue lists reduced hours (09:00–14:00) on 25 and 26 December and on 1 and 6 January. Because the Sagrada Família is an active basilica, religious celebrations and other special occasions can change the schedule on any day — sometimes at short notice. If your date is close to a major feast day, check the official visitor information before travelling.
The morning quiet hour
Since 2 February 2026, the first hour of the day (09:00 – 10:00) is a quiet hour. Headphones are required for the audio guide and visitors are asked to keep noise to a minimum. If you book an early slot, bring headphones and expect a calmer atmosphere.
