The 4 Small-Group Day Trips in Spain That Earn the Road Time

1.From Barcelona: Girona&Dalí Museum Day Trip with Small Group

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,874 reviews · 11 hours · from $87Our pick

Travel by air-conditioned coach from Barcelona to Girona and Figueres with a guide such as Carlos, Nuri, or Maria Elena. Walk Girona’s old quarter, then get an orientation at the Dalí Theatre-Museum before exploring its strange, playful galleries and Dalí Jewels collection on your own.

“This was a very well organized and enjoyable tour. Figuerres was first, Alina guided us through the museum and then we had plenty of free time. She is very knowledgeable and I learned a lot from here. Girona is an incredible bonus, the old city is fantastic. The only change I would make is to have less free time in Figuerres and more in Girona.”
