Barcelona is taking big steps to make visits more enjoyable! With millions of travelers arriving each year, the city has announced the creation of a new open plaza in front of the Sagrada Família — one of the world’s most iconic landmarks.
Every day, up to 16,000 people come to admire Antoni Gaudí’s masterpiece. Only 20% go inside, but nearly everyone stops to photograph the basilica’s breathtaking façades. This has caused crowding on sidewalks — until now.
The new Plaça Gaudí will offer:
- 🌿 66,740 sq ft of open space for photos and gatherings
- 🚶 More room for visitors to relax and enjoy the view
- 🎭 A cultural hub that connects locals and tourists
Project Timeline & Vision
Construction begins after summer 2025 and finishes by April 2026, marking the 100th anniversary of Gaudí’s passing. With a €2.7M investment, the city shows its dedication to world-class tourism and visitor comfort.
But it’s not just Sagrada Família. Barcelona is redesigning 15 high-traffic areas — from Park Güell to La Rambla and Barceloneta — making the city more walkable, sustainable, and traveler-friendly.
