Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia will offer 8,500 free entry tickets this month as part of the city’s annual winter festival, Festa Santa Eulàlia, according to a report by Time Out. The free tickets will allow visitors to access the basilica, its museum and a newly opened immersive room on selected dates in February.

The ticket giveaway is linked to Festa Santa Eulàlia, which honours Barcelona’s patron saint. Under the initiative, visitors can explore the Sagrada Familia complex, including the museum, the immersive room that opened in December, and the Schools area. As per Time Out, open days for free entry are scheduled for February 14 and 15. Ticket holders can enter between 3 pm and 5.30 pm on February 14, and between 3 pm and 7 pm on February 15.

How to apply and what winners get

Visitors must register through a form on the official Sagrada Familia website by 9 pm local time on Sunday, February 8. The list of winners will be published on the website on Monday, February 9. Each selected applicant will receive four tickets for the chosen time slot.

The initiative also ties into wider celebrations in the city. Barcelona has declared 2026 as ‘Gaudí Year’ to mark 100 years since architect Antoni Gaudí’s death. As part of this, local residents who do not secure free tickets through the raffle will be eligible for a 50 per cent discount on Sagrada Familia entry.
