What museums in Barcelona should you visit ? Any tips for travelling to Barcelona? These questions often arise, whether it is at a celebration, a party or simply having lunch with some friends. Well, the thing is that there is so much to see and so much to do in Barcelona that the answer to this is not easy to find. So, let’s put it in the hands of a connoisseur, Bob. Bob is a independent writer for an English paper and lives in Barcelona for over 15 years.

When going to Barcelona; What museum can’t I miss Bob? The question seems not too difficult for the writer that answers as follows:

“With over fifty museums, Barcelona is Europe’s favorite tourist destination. Barcelona’s offer can be entirely personalized to anyone’s taste. It depends whether you are a civilization lover, a sports fan, a nature lover and so on. Apparently there are, like your question already indicates, some museums in Barcelona you cannot miss.

My favourite fiveof museums not to miss would be as follows:

1 – Sagrada Famila. Sagrada Familia is famous architect Antoni Gaudi’s lifework is the life work of Barcelona Architect Antonio Gaudi. This church is under construction since 1882 and is truly impressive to see.

2 – Dali Museum. The Museo Dali Dali museum is not located in the city center but at about an hour driving from Barcelona in a small town called Figueres. The Museo Dali is truly a joy for the eye. You will induce the art of Salvador Dali in person. That is the beauty of it. More than an art visit, this is a real art experience. Numerous works can only be learnt from when one visits the museum.

3 – Museo Picasso. The Picasso Museum is dedicated to one of Spain’s master artists Pablo Picasso. In the Picasso Museum you will find a wide collection of Pablo Picasso, in particular drawings from the time lapse Picasso lived in the south of France.

4 – Museo Nacional de Arte de Cataluña (MNAC). The Museo Nacional de Arte de Cataluña must be the museum I know with the best location. It is situated on the Montjuich mountain just up from Plaza de España. The museum itself is the national palace and is still sometimes used for official receptions when King Juan Carlos visits the city of Barcelona.

5 – Camp Nou and museum of FC Barcelona. As I am a sports fan myself, I cannot leave this one out of the list. All the history of the very well-known known “Futbol Club Barcelona” is gathered in this place. It is recommendable to visit the museum followed by a stadium tour as this gives you the complete impression.”

By far the most comfortable way to visit all the museums in Barcelona (except for the Museo Dalí) in one day would be to take the “Bus Turistic”. This Tourist bus will take you to all famous landmarks and museums. The buses leave from Plaza de Catalonia and cost around 22 euros per adult.

Bob adds to the top 5 list of what to see: “The best tip I can give you is to explore Barcelona by yourself. Make your own way through the noisy streets of Barcelona. Gather all the information about the museums in Barcelona you want to visit and mark them on a map. You will really get the impression of being a local when you organize your own day of sightseeing. Take the metro in Barcelona. It is cheap, fast, easy and will get you about anywhere. By renting one of the many tourist apartments in Barcelona, you will feel even more integrated in the Catalonian society.”

With these tips of local expert Bob you should be ready to go to Barcelona.
