Top Museums in Barcelona

My tip is to wear comfy shoes! You’ll do a lot of walking, and trust me, your feet will thank you after climbing all those stairs and exploring.

If you're into interactive exhibits, head straight to the 'Flooded Forest' and 'Biosphere' areas first. Those got super busy by lunchtime!

I think packing your own snacks is a smart move. The onsite café can be a bit pricey, and there are lots of spots to chill and munch inside.

I recommend getting there right when it opens at 10 AM. It’s way less crowded then, and you can explore without feeling rushed. Plus, you can snap those Insta-worthy pics!

I recommend getting your tickets online beforehand. It saved me from waiting in that long line outside, and I got right in! Plus, sometimes you can find online discounts

Check out their temporary exhibits too! I was surprised by how they brought in fresh perspectives on Picasso, it added a lot to my experience, plus it was less crowded than the main collection

I think it’s best to visit on a weekday if you can. I went on Saturday, and it was packed—way harder to take photos and really soak it all in. Not the vibe I wanted.

My advice is to take part in one of the workshops offered... I thought they’d be boring, but it was super fun and I got to make a cool souvenir... Totally worth the extra cost!

I suggest getting there right when it opens at 10 AM. The place gets busy fast, and the earlier you arrive, the more time you’ll have to enjoy everything without the crowd. Trust me, it makes a difference.

Don't forget to explore the gardens outside; they’re so peaceful and filled with Miro’s sculptures. I totally almost missed that part, and it was one of the highlights!

Bring a small snack or drink with you because the café is a bit pricey and I ended up spending more than I expected. Plus, there are some nice spots to sit and enjoy your own food outside!

Check out the little cafe inside! I stumbled upon it and was pleasantly surprised. Prices are decent for a museum, and their pastries are yummy and energizing for more exploring!

Make sure to check the opening times before you go; they can be a bit tricky. I got there too early once and had to wait around. Going around 10:30 AM should be perfect to avoid the big crowds.

If you're short on time, focus on the highlights like the park and Casa Batlló. I made the mistake of trying to see everything and it got overwhelming.

I suggest exploring the surrounding park after your visit. It’s a peaceful area to relax and reflect on the beauty of the monastery. I regret not doing this!

Pack a light snack and water because there aren’t many places nearby to grab food. I learned the hard way and ended up a little hangry by the end of my visit.
