Girona & Figueras Guided Tour
In this case, we’ll depart by bus from Barcelona’s Estación del Norte to our first destination, where we’ll take a guided tour of Girona.
During this 2-hour walking tour, we’ll see well-known landmarks from the outside, such as the Basilica of Sant Feliu, the cathedral, and the Pont de les Pixateries Velles.
Afterward, you’ll have time for lunch on your own in Girona, and from there we’ll head to our next destination, where we’ll take a guided tour of Figueras. On this walking tour, which will last 1.5 hours, we’ll explore the town’s historic center while learning about its connection to Salvador Dalí.
Finally, we’ll head back to Barcelona, where we’ll arrive between 9 and 10 hours after pickup.
Girona, Figueras, & Dalí Museum Guided Tour
Greet your guide at Barcelona’s Estación del Norte and board a spacious air-conditioned coach that will take you to the historic town of Girona, in the northeast of Catalonia.
Upon arrival, follow your expert guide through the picturesque Old Town (Barri Vell) on foot and discover its striking Jewish Quarter, one of the best preserved in Europe. Throughout the tour, we'll visit significant sites like the Basilica of Sant Feliú, the Cathedral, and the Pont de les Peixateries Velles. Then it's off to visit the Sant Martí church or the Plaça de la Independència.
Once we’ve explored the city’s main landmarks, we'll give you an hour of free time to wander around at your own pace and indulge in local cuisine at a restaurant nearby.
Following lunch, we’ll travel to Figueres. This town is the birthplace of the legendary Surrealist artist Salvador Dalí. The Dalí Museum was established in the city’s ruined Municipal Theatre that Dalí himself transformed into the Dalí Theatre Museum. It contains the artist’s largest repertoire of works, including paintings, drawings, and sculptures.
Dalí designed this Theatre-Museum to offer visitors a complete experience, and one of its highlights is the famous sculpted eggs on the building’s rooftop.
You’ll also have access to “Dalí-Jewels” (Dalí-Joies), a permanent exhibition of 39 jewels of gold and precious stones and the paintings and drawings he made of these.
Then, we'll wrap up our day trip, returning to the starting point between 9 and 10 hours later.
