About This Adventure

Embark on an unforgettable journey into the surreal world of Salvador Dalí with a private tour from Barcelona. Explore the iconic Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres, visit the charming village of Cadaqués, and discover Dalí's intimate home in Port Lligat, where his creative genius flourished. Experience art and culture like never before.

The Plan

Prepare to get picked up by your guide at your accommodation in the city center of Barcelona, and enjoy a comfortable private vehicle to travel in a journey into the surrealist mind of Catalan artist Salvador Dalí and see the places that helped shape his life and creative vision. Visit the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres, a gift that the artist gave to the city where he was born. Travel to the charming village of Cadaqués, where the artist spent many summer holidays as a child, and discover the most intimate side of Dalí in Port Lligat in his house, built in a small fishermen's cove, and where the artist created some of his most important works.

The tour

Our guide will pick you up in a comfortable vehicle and take you through idyllic landscapes of the interior of Catalonia. You will discover the mysteries and secrets of the most famous Catalan painter, Salvador Dalí. You will visit a small town called Figueres, near the French border. Dalí was born and raised in this city. Immerse yourself in the streets and corners that marked your early years and pass by some of your favorite spots. Here, you will get to know the Dalí Theatre-Museum, the museum considered to be the largest surrealist object in the world, designed by Dalí himself. You will be able to enter the painter's mind thanks to his collection of artifacts, the strangest you can imagine.

You will follow in the artist's footsteps to Cadaqués, a town where white houses, the sea, and the mountains merge into a single image. Just one km away is Portlligat, where he will complete the discovery of the Catalan genius. In the house, you will see the studio where the painter created his most important works and take an intimate tour of the rooms where he lived with his beloved wife and muse, Gala.
