What to expect
You'll board a train northbound to Figueres, arriving at the Dalí museum within 90 minutes. Spend roughly two hours navigating the eccentric building and its collection. Next, a short drive brings you to Besalú, where you'll have freedom to photograph the bridge, duck into narrow lanes, and grab lunch (not included). Late afternoon takes you to Girona, where your guide leads you through the Arab Baths and points out architectural gems—cathedral, river views, cobbled plazas—before you explore independently. Return train departs late afternoon, landing you back in Barcelona by evening.
