How to Get to Figueres from Barcelona
- Because of the distance involved in visiting Figueres from Barcelona 'just' to go to a museum, hiring a car for the day is a good way of getting the most out of your trip. You would then be able to visit, for example, the town of Portlligat, where there is another Dali museum, or relax on the beach (in Roses, for example). This wouldn't be possible in a day by public transport. Compare Prices on Car Hire from Barcelona.
- Figueres is two hours from Barcelona by train (trains depart every 30-60 minutes and cost 9€). Renfe.es, the Spanish rail website, says there are only three or four trains a day. It is wrong. For some reason, you have to use a different part of the Renfe site to find these train times: Barcelona to Figueres Train Timetable
- The bus is not practical.
- Alternatively, take a guided tour: Figueres and Girona Guided Tour (book direct)
The train departs from Barcelona Sants station, but you can pick it up at Passeig de Gracia. Read more about Barcelona Bus and Train Stations.
With little else of real significance in Figueres, it is a good idea to get a very early train to the town and be out again by lunch time so you can still enjoy the afternoon back in Barcelona.
How to Get to Figueres from Girona
- If a two hour trip there and back seems like a bit much, consider staying in Girona, which is half way between Barcelona and Figueres. Take a train from the main station in Girona.
