Special Dates in Barcelona: Museums that you can visit for free!
For art, history and culture lovers of Barcelona these special dates, weekly days and hours to have free entrance to many of the biggest and most interesting museums in Barcelona are must-haves on the calendars!
Of course, there must be exhibitions, galleries, attractions and museums you are willing to pay the small fees to ensure your visit or show your appreciation -let’s don’t forget that the ones with the higher entrance fees don’t usually have a free day anyway.
But what if I tell you that you actually have plenty of chances to visit some of the attractions in Barcelona such as Picasso Museum, Parc Güell or MACBA for free. Isn’t it more tempting to see a couple of them without paying any fee while you can?
Here’s the list of Barcelona attractions and museums with the special dates to enter for free.
