As of 25 October 2013, entrance to Park Güell is now by entrance ticket. The aim of this Barcelona City Council initiative is to limit visitor numbers in order to protect and preserve this architectural complex, designed by Antoni Gaudí. All profits from ticket sales will be used to maintain the site.

Ticket prices are subject to discounts depending on the age of visitors. Barcelona residents wishing to have free access must register with the Citizen Advice and Information Centre in Plaça de Sant Miquel. Registration means that they will form part of the Gaudir+BCN community, from which they can book entry and enjoy many other benefits. The Barcelona City Council has created this community in order to promote Park Güell and the work of Antoni Gaudí.

The Sagrada Família has produced a video showing what the Temple of the Sagrada Família will look like once work has been completed. Entitled "2026 We are constructing for tomorrow", the 90-second video provides a virtual, bird´s-eye view of the yet-to-be-built elements rising into the air and how the building will look when completed.

The finalisation of construction work is planned for 2026 to mark the centenary of the death of its architect, Antoni Gaudí.
