The museum is the main attraction of the city. It is world famous and the secound most visited museum of Spain, after the Prado in Madrid. Most visitors take a day trip to Figueres while spending their holidays in Barcelona. However, it is worth staying one or two nights in a Costa Brava Hotel to enjoy the beautiful landscape as well as spending some hours at the nice Costa Brava beaches.
The Dali Museum is not a usual museum. The artist himself lived and worked several years in the building. The museum is his biggest artwork and offers also artworks of other artists, such as Marcel Duchamp. Depending on your interest you can spend from one hour up to your whole day in the museum. Unfortunately, one of his greatest artworks - "The Persistence of Memory" is not exhibited here. It is part of the MoMa in New York City. Anyway, the museum offers numerous impressing Dali artworks.
