Life of Picasso Walking Tour with Museum Entry

The first stop on our Picasso tour is outside the Els Quatre Gats Restaurant. This beautiful modernist building was a gathering spot for artists and is where Picasso first started to exhibit his genius.

Moving on from there, you’ll soon find yourself outside Sala Parès. This gallery was once a paint shop and is where some of Picasso’s first works were exhibited. You’ll learn about how the gallery has changed over the years from your expert tour guide.

As you continue the tour, you'll pass by what was once the location of a brothel, whose workers inspired one of Picasso's most famous paintings, as well as the building that once hosted the Fine Arts Academy where the artist studied as a teenager. As you journey through the Old Town, you’ll hear plenty of stories about the artist’s life and career before arriving at the Picasso Museum. Your guide will leave you there to enjoy the museum at your own pace, but will give you plenty of advice on what to look out for during your self-guided tour.

As you journey through the museum, you’ll learn about the special relationship Picasso had with Barcelona and how the city shaped his art.
