Park Guell ticket price 2026: 18 euros after an 80 percent jump

Barcelona's two most famous Gaudi sites both got more expensive in 2026, and neither is a walk-up anymore.

Park Guell

Adult admission is 18 euros, an 80% jump from 10 euros at the start of 2026. Entry is capped at 1,400 visitors per hour on a timed ticket. Book online days ahead. Showing up at the gate in July is how you spend an afternoon in Barcelona not seeing Park Guell.

Sagrada Familia

A standard ticket with audio guide is 26 euros in 2026. Tower access is 36 euros. A centenary surcharge of 2 to 5 euros applies from June through December 2026. Timed entry is mandatory. This is also not a walk-up.

The rest of the 2026 Barcelona bill

The tourist tax effectively doubled on 1 April 2026: 4.50 EUR Catalan regional rate plus 5 EUR city surcharge per person per night, plus 10% VAT. Five-star stays land around 12 EUR per person per night in tax alone. Short-term rentals are about 9.50 EUR. The city surcharge keeps climbing 1 EUR a year through 2029, and every remaining tourist-apartment licence is set to expire by November 2028.

Transit is still the cheap line: a T-Casual 10-ride card is 13 euros in one zone. That does not offset an 8 euro Park Guell increase plus a doubled hotel tax plus a Sagrada surcharge, but it is the one 2026 number in Barcelona that barely moved.
