Private Dali Museum and Costa Brava Tour from Barcelona

Figueres, the birthplace of Salvador Dalí, lies near the French border, at the foot of the Pyrenees and just 15 km from the Mediterranean. Walk with your guide through the streets where Dalí spent his early years, passing the house where he was born, and discover the town that shaped his imagination.

2 h

Dalí built his museum on the ruins of the town’s old municipal theatre, where he held his first exhibition as a teenager, and he is buried in its crypt. Recognisable by the giant eggs on its roof and its glass dome, it is considered the largest surrealist work in the world. With your guide, explore its rooms and courtyard, from the Rainy Taxi to the Mae West Room, and discover the stories behind his most extraordinary creations.

2 h

Next to the museum, this permanent exhibition displays 37 jewels in gold and precious stones designed by Dalí, together with the original drawings and sketches he made to create them.

30 min

End the day on the Costa Brava, a coastline of cliffs, pine-covered coves and fishing villages that inspired many of Dalí’s landscapes. Your guide will take you to one of its most beautiful spots, with free time to walk along the seafront, take in the views of the Mediterranean or stop for a drink by the sea before returning to Barcelona.
