maritimemuseum

From its beaches, marinas and commerical docks it is hard to miss the fact that Barcelona is very much a port. Visit the Museu Maritim and discover the city of Barcelona's rich maritime history.

At the museum you will find a full size model of a galleon as well as other vessels and artefacts. You can also combine your ticket to include a visit to the Santa Eulalia Schooner berthed side-to along the Moll de La fusta.  A cafeteria with garden offers a pleasant escape from city traffic and stays open until late with music during the summer.  Other Combi ticket options are available for a boat trip on the Golondrinas see Barcelona Sightseeing, on a trimar catamaran, or entry to the colombus monument.


Activities for children include "Galiots!" - Life in the galleys on the 3rd Saturday of month at 7pm. (Call to reserve).

Top Tips for Museums

  • Public museums are free on Sundays from 3pm to 8pm.  Most are also free all day on the first Sunday of each month.
  • Look out for Open days or Portes Obertes that take place on special festival dates throughout the year.
  • Check museum websites before you visit for special kids' activities and workshops.  You may have to register in advance, if not at the ticket office on the day.
  • Find out if a museum offers an annual family pass (Carnet Familiar) which gives you unlimited access throughout the year as this may be the best option if you are planning more than one visit.
  • Barcelona library card holders, take them with you - you will discover a surprising amount of savings can be made at cultural centres around town.
  • See Barcelona Discount Cards for ways of combining several visits to different centres during your stay.
