Fundació Joan Miró
Fundació Joan Miro is a wonderful art gallery. The museum is situated on the Montjüic mountain and contains numerous works by this amazing painter and sculptor. The beautiful building is itself a notable example of modern design. To get there you can either take the Metro to Espanya and then walk for 15 minutes, or you can take the Bus Turistic which stops right outside the museum. Fundació Miró is a personal favorite of mine!
Also, make sure you visit the Parc Miró, located right next to Plaça d'Espanya.

Salvador Dalí Museum in Figueres

The Salvador Dalí Museum is not located in Barcelona but we want to include it in our guide anyway, given that it is one of the most famous and most visited museums in northern Spain.

The museum is located about 100 km north of Barcelona in the small town of Figueres where Dalí was born. The facade of the museum is both beautiful and striking, even being decorated with eggs! Although it is 100 km away from the city it's fast and easy to get to. Travelling by regional train takes 1 hour and 45 minutes and from the station it's only a 15-minute walk to the museum.

Address: Dalí Museum, Figueres
Opening hours: July - September 9 am - 7.15 pm (Tue - Sun)
January-June 10.30 am - 5.15 pm (Tue - Sun)
