An hour and a quarter with a guide inside the Picasso Museum, in the Gothic palaces of Carrer Montcada. The ticket and skip-the-line access are included, and when the guided part ends the museum is still yours.
The Picasso Museum holds the largest collection of the artist anywhere: 4,251 works in the permanent collection, spread through five Gothic palaces on Carrer Montcada. It is not the museum of the famous Picassos. It is the museum of how he got there.
You go in with an expert guide, in the language you choose, for an hour and a quarter. The entry ticket and skip-the-line access are both included.
The collection runs from the training years to the late work, and three pieces anchor the visit. Science and Charity, painted when he was fifteen and still doing what his father wanted. Royan, from the years in France. And Las Meninas — the series where he takes Velázquez apart canvas by canvas and puts him back together as something else.
An hour and a quarter guided. Then the guide leaves and you do not: the ticket is yours for the rest of the visit, so you can go back to the rooms that held you and take the time the guided route could not give them.
The ticket is bought in advance and you enter through the reserved entrance instead of the ticket queue. Carrer Montcada is a narrow medieval street and the queue for this museum runs down it, so this one matters.
At Palau Dalmases, Carrer Montcada 20, in El Born — the same street as the museum. Metro L4 Jaume I is the closest stop. Your guide waits at the entrance with the Walking Planets sign.
Hotel transfer in either direction, radio guides, and the guide’s tip, which is optional and never expected.
The street of the merchant palaces, and why the museum ended up here.
Academic Picasso — the technique he had before he chose to abandon it.
The Barcelona years, and the friend whose death changed the palette.
The complete series: 58 canvases arguing with Velázquez.
Free time in the palaces before you head out into El Born.

An hour and a quarter with the guide. After that you can stay in the museum as long as you like — the ticket is included and it does not expire when the guided part ends.

We board Las Golondrinas, the traditional boats that have been sailing out of this port since 1888, and take the harbour from an angle you cannot get on foot: Port Vell and its working docks, the coastline and the skyline from the sea, Maremagnum, the Porta d’Europa bridge. Then into L’Aquàrium, where the Oceanari puts […]
