Tour of Carrer Cinc d'Oros – Sagrada Familia and event
On June 10, the Pope’s visit to the Sagrada Familia will require the deployment of extensive security and traffic management measures, which will result in traffic restrictions and significant changes to bus and metro service. The route taken by Pope Leo XIV between Plaza Cinc d'Oros and Carrer Lepant, as well as the area between Carrer Còrsega and Carrer València, will be subject to road closures and special traffic controls throughout the day.

Please note that, until October, the connecting corridor between metro lines L4 and L5 at Verdaguer station will be closed.
Recommended transport
Due to disruptions in bus service, we recommend using the subway to travel to the locations where Pope Leo XIV’s visits are taking place.
To get to the Sagrada Familia area, you need to get off at the station before or after it: Verdaguer (L4/L5) or Sant Pau | Dos de Maig (L5).
