Figueres Free Walking Tour

The tour will start from the Rambla and from there we will explore all the most important places and characters of the city. 

We'll begin with a historical introduction: Figueres was already inhabited by the Iberians over 2000 years ago and was also occupied by the Romans before flourishing during the medieval period.

Next, we'll visit the birthplace and homes of Salvador Dalí, the surrealist genius. We'll delve into his life and explore how the turbulent 20th century shaped him and the local community.

Then, we'll introduce you to Narcís Monturiol, a prominent but lesser-known figure from Figueres, the inventor of the mechanical propulsion submarine. We'll discover his achievements and contribution to underwater navigation.

Continuing the tour, we'll head to the Town Hall, the heart of the historic center, where you'll immerse yourself in the city's vibrant atmosphere and charming streets.

We'll also explore Figueres' unique location near the French border, which led to the town being chosen for the construction of Europe's largest modern-era fortress, the impressive Castle of Sant Ferran.

Lastly, we'll see the old Church of Sant Pere and the renowned Dalí Museum, which had been a theatre with a tragic outcome. Together we'll find out why the painter decided to locate his museum in this exact place!

You'll also receive tips on where to eat and what else to see in Figueres.
