Visiting Barcelona this winter and want to see the Gaudí highlights without queuing or juggling five different bookings? The Barcelona Pass bundles the city’s top attractions – Sagrada Família or Casa Batlló, Park Güell, the hop-on hop-off bus or La Pedrera – with an audio guide app and a discount app in one booking. Below you’ll find what’s included, how it works, current prices and whether it is the right choice for your Winter Festival Barcelona trip.

What is the Barcelona Pass?
The Barcelona Pass is a customisable combo ticket sold by our partner Tiqets, rated 4.4/5 by more than 4,000 travellers. Instead of a fixed package you build your own pass by choosing one option in each category:
| Category | Your choice |
|---|---|
| Gaudí icon | Sagrada Família (basic entry or with tower access) or Casa Batlló |
| Park Güell | Park Güell standard entry, entry + Gaudí House Museum, or a guided tour |
| Get around | Hop-on hop-off bus (24 or 48 hours) or La Pedrera – Casa Milà |
| Audio guide | Barcelona audio guide app with 100+ points of interest and offline maps |
| Discounts | BCN Discount Pass app: up to 50% off restaurants, attractions and transport, plus a personal 10% code for other Tiqets attractions for one month |
Every ticket is delivered digitally to your phone straight after booking, with timed entry slots for the Sagrada Família, Park Güell and Casa Batlló already reserved – exactly the tickets that sell out first over Christmas and New Year.
Why the Barcelona Pass pays off in winter 2026/27
Winter is timed-entry season: from November to February the Sagrada Família closes at 18:00, Park Güell at 17:30 and the Casa Batlló Winter Night sells out weeks ahead. With the pass you fix your slots in one go and can plan the rest of the day around the Christmas markets and light shows. Booking the same tickets separately means several accounts, several confirmations and, usually, a higher total.
The hop-on hop-off bus is a good winter choice too: the route passes Passeig de Gràcia with its Christmas lights, Montjuïc and the harbour, and the buses run every day of the festive season except 25 December and 1 January. If you’d rather stay on foot, swap the bus for La Pedrera and see Gaudí’s rooftop at dusk instead.
How it works
Choose your travel dates and the number of travellers, pick your preferred option in each category (for example Sagrada Família with towers + Park Güell standard + 48-hour bus), and pay once. You’ll receive separate digital tickets by email; show them on your phone at each entrance – no printing, no collection.
Children’s and youth prices apply per attraction (under-11s are free at the Sagrada Família, under-7s at Park Güell), so families pay noticeably less than the adult price suggests. Check the booking calendar below for availability on your dates.
Prices and availability
Prices depend on the options you choose and start at roughly the price of a Sagrada Família ticket plus Park Güell. Select your dates in the calendar to see live prices and availability:
Booking through this page supports Winter Festival Barcelona at no extra cost to you. Tickets are issued by Tiqets, with customer service available seven days a week.
Barcelona Pass or Barcelona Card?
Don’t confuse the Barcelona Pass with the official Barcelona Card from Turisme de Barcelona. The Barcelona Card is a 3-, 4- or 5-day card that includes unlimited public transport and free entry to around 25 museums (Picasso Museum, MNAC, Fundació Miró…) but not the Gaudí sites. The Barcelona Pass does the opposite: it is built around the Sagrada Família, Park Güell and Casa Batlló and doesn’t include the metro. If Gaudí is at the top of your list, the pass is the better buy; if you want museums and metro, the Barcelona Card. Public transport in Barcelona is cheap in any case – see our metro guide.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to book the Sagrada Família time slot in advance?
Yes. All Gaudí attractions in the pass work with timed entry, and you choose your slots during the booking. In the Christmas and New Year weeks the best slots sell out days or even weeks ahead, so book as soon as your dates are fixed.
Can I use the pass on different days?
Yes. Each attraction has its own ticket and date, so you can spread your visits over your whole stay. The hop-on hop-off bus is valid for 24 or 48 consecutive hours from first use.
Is the pass worth it for a short winter break?
For a 2–3 day trip that includes the Sagrada Família and Park Güell it usually is: you save on the individual tickets, get an audio guide and discounts thrown in, and you avoid four separate bookings. If you only want one attraction, book that ticket individually.
Where do I stay to make the most of it?
Eixample and Gràcia put you within walking distance of Casa Batlló, La Pedrera and Park Güell. See our guide to hotels during Winter Festival Barcelona.
Whether you come for the Christmas lights on Passeig de Gràcia, the markets or simply Gaudí without the crowds, the Barcelona Pass turns the practical side of a winter city break into one booking – and leaves you more time for the city itself.
