Barcelona Aug 2, 2018

[Kebake]

we will be on Celebrity Reflection and arrive in Barcelona at 11:00 am. What time should I book La Sagrada Familia? I keep seeing references to a cruise bus. What is this and do I need to sign up early for it?

Get the earliest possible reservation at La Sagrada that you can get and take a taxi from the ship. You'll get the best experience being there when it opens. (It's the difference between visiting when it's almost empty and visiting when you're almost shoulder to shoulder). We went in June of this year. Here is VERY detailed information (with pictures): http://www.lavasurfer.com/info/mediterranean-secrets.html

 

Note that the cruise bus doesn't operate early in the morning and will only take you within 2 blocks of the Columbus statue. You'll still need to take a taxi or metro from there.

If you go in the late afternoon, the sunlight filtering through the stained glass is magnificent.
