City in Spain

Figueres

3 things to see

The Dali Theatre-Museum, the surrealist master’s own creation and final resting place, is one of Spain’s most visited museums and the reason most travellers come to this Catalan town near the French border. The museum charges admission, but the old town, the Rambla, and the streets around it are free to wander on a short visit. Figueres works as a budget day trip from Girona or Barcelona on the regional train, or a cheap overnight stop when crossing into France.
