Private Tour to Dalí Museum + Costa Brava (Tossa de Mar)

A full-day private journey through surrealist art and the rugged coastal landscapes of northeastern Catalonia.


This private day tour from Barcelona combines a guided visit to the iconic Dalí Theater-Museum in Figueres with a scenic exploration of the Costa Brava coastline, including a stop in Tossa de Mar. The itinerary is designed for travelers who want to cover two distinct highlights of Catalonia in a single, comfortable day. All transportation is provided in an air-conditioned minivan.

The Dalí Theater-Museum in Figueres is one of the most visited museums in Spain and was personally conceived and designed by Salvador Dalí himself. The building, crowned with giant egg sculptures and featuring theatrical interiors, houses one of the world's most significant collections of Dalí's work. Notable pieces include a 3D installation resembling Mae West's face and the adjoining Dalí Jewels exhibit, a collection of intricate jewelry created by the artist.

After the museum visit, the tour continues south to the Costa Brava, the dramatic stretch of coastline running from Blanes to the French border at Portbou. The group stops in Blanes, where visitors can choose between exploring the Marimurtra Botanical Garden or relaxing at a secluded cove. The day concludes with free time to walk the medieval streets of Tossa de Mar and a traditional lunch at a local restaurant.

This tour is rated easy in terms of physical difficulty and is suitable for most travelers. The private format means the schedule can accommodate the group's pace without the constraints of a shared tour. Entrance tickets to the Dalí Theater-Museum are not included in the tour price and must be purchased separately.
