Overview of your Barcelona tour

As Barcelonians, we are very proud to say that the artist spent his training years in our city. Picasso's official opening of the museum in 1963, caused some controversy. Visited by 1 million people in 2019, pre-covid times, it is one of Barcelona's highlights. We will learn not only about his art, but also about his personal life. The museum is distributed in a chronological order and holds pieces from his early years as an artist. Without any doubt, a must see! We will start with an interesting walking tour to discover the places where Picasso lived, worked, the gallery where his first private exposition was held, the places he frequented, and the Old town Barcelona that he got to know so well as a young artist. To finish, we will learn more about the artist through his paintings. Picasso's Barcelona is waiting for you! Discover the city through the eyes of this unique artist and tireless worker.
