Nativity vs Passion tower
The Nativity tower faces the old city and is widely considered the more picturesque climb. The Passion tower faces the sea and gives a better view of the recently completed central spires. Both use an elevator up and a spiral staircase of 300+ steps down.
How to avoid the queue
Book online for a specific time slot. Arrive 10 minutes before your slot and go directly to the pre-booked ticket entrance on Carrer de la Marina. Even in August the pre-booked line rarely takes more than 10 minutes.
