Queues to visit the Holy Family
I will only be two days in Barcelona and I would like to know if you have to make a long queue to visit the Holy Family.

Re #0: Queues to visit the Holy Family
We bought them online and in half an hour we were inside. I recommend that you buy the tickets with the option of audio guide, it makes the entrance more expensive (they are € 24 instead of € 15), but you enjoy the visit much more. It is a building with a lot of history.

Re #0: Elevator to climb the towers of the Holy Family
tiene 2 ascensores, ubicadas en cada fachada. Te recomiendo la fachada de la Pasión.
Un saludo.
Re #0: Elevator to climb the towers of the Holy Family
Lift you have on the two facades (the Birth and the Passion). In each façade there are four towers, you climb in a closed elevator that is in one of the towers and once up you pass by a footbridge that takes you to another of the towers of the façade in which is the staircase by which you go down.

Re #0: Elevator to climb the towers of the Holy Family
The Holy Family has two facades, with four towers each. The Nativity wich was the first to be built and The Passion.
On each façade there is an elevator that is the only way to climb the towers. The descent on both facades is done down the stairs.
The views from the towers are spectacular, but personally because of their orientation I prefer the façade of the Nativity.
If you are claustrophobic it is better to climb to the facade of Passion because the Nativity it's more ancient and their stairs are darker and narrower compared to those of the facade of Passion that have more light and are wider.
