Sagrada Família Dress Code — Clear, Practical Guide

The Sagrada Família is a place of worship and a busy cultural site. Dress with respect and comfort so you can focus on the experience.

The essentials (at a glance)

• Cover your shoulders inside liturgical spaces (carry a light layer or scarf).
• Avoid see‑through garments and beachwear (swimwear, crop tops).
• Skirts/shorts should be mid‑thigh or longer; no bare torso.
• Remove hats inside (religious coverings excepted).
• Security may deny entry if attire is deemed inappropriate.

What’s generally fine

• Smart‑casual tops, light shirts, modest dresses/jumpsuits.
• T‑shirts and shorts that cover mid‑thigh.
• Comfortable closed shoes or sandals (avoid noisy flip‑flops).

What to avoid

• Swimwear, tank tops with bare shoulders, extremely short shorts, offensive prints.
• Costumes or items that disrupt services or other visitors.

Seasonal tips

• Summer: breathable fabrics; bring a light cover‑up for shoulders; sun protection outside.
• Winter: it’s cooler inside than outside—carry a layer.
• Rainy days: non‑slip footwear; umbrellas may need to be folded or left per staff direction.

During Mass

• Dress a notch more formal; keep voices low; follow ushers’ guidance.
• Photography may be restricted during services—respect signage.

Quick checklist
