Art museums in Barcelona
The best way to see Barcelona's art museums is the Articket pass. It costs €38 and covers six of them.
To see the city with a guide instead, start with our Barcelona tours.
Barcelona museums: Picasso and five more on one pass
Articket covers MACBA, the Picasso Museum, Fundació Tàpies, the Miró Foundation, MNAC and CCCB. The pass is valid for one year from purchase.
Miró museum Barcelona tickets
The Miró Foundation is one of the six Articket museums. With Articket you skip the ticket line there.
Museu Picasso Barcelona tickets
The easy way into the Picasso Museum here is the Articket pass, which includes skip-the-line entry. It costs €38 for six museums.
Free hours at the museum vary, and we found no official times. Check the museum's own site before you plan around them.
Is the Barcelona Card worth it?
Only if you use a lot of transport and many museums. In the 2026 Barcelona Travel Cost Study, the 72-hour Barcelona Card cost €55 for an adult on 25 October 2026. With three days of transport valued at €36 in day passes, it pays off once the entries it covers are worth more than €19.
The card gives public transport and free entry to museums and cultural sites, plus discounts. Articket, at €38 for six art museums, is the simpler buy if you only want art.
The Hola Barcelona card is a transport pass only. Metro fares are in our transport guide.
Concerts and Palau de la Música
For one evening, book the Vivaldi concert from €26 or a Palau de la Música entry from €20. The concert lasts 1 hour, and late entry is allowed between pieces.
The official guided tour of Palau de la Música was listed at €24, which may have changed.
Barcelona Cathedral tickets
The cathedral ticket gets you onto the rooftop and into the Chapter Hall, from €20. It also covers the Sant Sever church and a virtual audio guide.
The cathedral is a working church. Cover your shoulders and knees, and leave your hat off. This ticket is non-refundable.
Barcelona galleries and museums beyond the big names
For a short art stop, try the Moco Museum from €15. For families, the Wax Museum is from €21.
For a view instead of a gallery, the Torre Glòries deck is from €18. The FC Barcelona Museum has its own page.
Not ready to buy? Free and do-it-yourself ideas
Each museum sits in a different part of town, and our guide to Barcelona neighborhoods shows which is which.
Planning Barcelona on your own? Most of these tickets work without a guide.
On a hot afternoon, swap a museum for the beaches at Barcelona. Short on budget? There are plenty of free things to do in Barcelona, Spain.
Pair the Wax Museum with a walk down Las Ramblas. For quieter days, look at non-tourist things to do in Barcelona.
The Vivaldi concert is one of the easy romantic things to do in Barcelona. With kids, see our things to do in Barcelona family guide.
