Instructions & Recommendations

Booking in advance is recommended. The town itself is worth a visit and there are other interesting activities within a short radius such as Empúries ruins, the Sant Pere de Rodes Monastery or the seaside town of Cadaqués.

Meta review

The Dali Museum is a draw to Figueres for fans of the artist and is often featured in travel magazines and online traveller blogs. Reviewers' comments are heavily skewed towards the positive, even for those relatively unacquainted with his work prior to their stepping in. Highlights include the magnificent building and, of course, his art itself. There are several comments recommending to take a guided tour to enhance the visit, difficult to tell if all those are genuine but it does sound like a smart move anyways.

Environmental & Social

No environmental or social data. The museum helps preserve the artistic and cultural heritage of the son of Figueres, bringing an influx of economic activity to the city as well.

The venue ranks high among the highlights of Catalonia for anybody keen on the arts and is a must for personal aficionados of Dali. It is a museum like no other for art like no other - full of surprising shapes and perspectives.
