9 Museums in Girona: tickets, opening hours and addresses

Girona is compact. You can walk to up to six museums on this list, and the distance between neighboring spots is usually under ten minutes. Teatre-Museu Dalí and Museu del Joguet de Catalunya are in Figueres, and Museu de la Confitura is in the village of Torrent.

But it is the museums that explain where the Roman stones in the city come from, why the Jewish Quarter is called the cradle of Israel, and what brought Salvador Dalí here.

Below are nine museums in Girona with prices, opening hours, and addresses verified in September 2026. Six city museums are sold under one scheme: the Gironamuseus card gives you the full price only for the first entry, and then a 50% discount on each subsequent one (as of 09/2026, card for six museums).

Tickets, opening hours, and the Gironamuseus card

💡 In short:

• Six Girona museums are covered by the Gironamuseus card: full price for the first entry, then a 50% discount (card terms, as of 09/2026).
• A ticket to Museu d'Art de Girona and Museu del Cinema costs 7 €, reduced 5 € and 3.50 € (Museu d'Art rates, as of 09/2026).
• Prices and opening hours: 09/2026, verified on the official Museu del Cinema website.

The Gironamuseus scheme is simple. You pay the full price at the first of the six museums and get a card valid for six months, then you pay half price at all the other museums (as of 09/2026, official card page). If you plan to visit at least two museums, the card pays for itself almost immediately.

Below is a table of addresses: it is handy for planning a walking route through the Old Town.

Opening hours vary from museum to museum, and it's easy to get them wrong here. Museu del Cinema is closed on Mondays, except in July and August, and last entry is 45 minutes before closing (as of 09/2026, Museu del Cinema opening hours). The Teatre-Museu Dalí in Figueres is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10:30 to 18:00 in winter, and in July and August it welcomes visitors every day from 9:00 to 20:00 (as of 09/2026, Teatre-Museu Dalí opening hours).

Museu d'Art de Girona occupies the Palau Episcopal at Pujada de la Catedral, 12, that is, the bishop's palace a stone's throw from the Cathedral.

Museu del Cinema opened in 1998, built around the collection of engineer Tomàs Mallol, who spent thirty years collecting optics and projectors. Today it holds more than twenty thousand items, including about eight thousand cinema lenses (according to the museum, 09/2026). The museum stands on the banks of the Onyar River at C. de la Sèquia, 1, a five-minute walk from the Old Town.

The exhibition runs from shadow theater and magic lanterns to modern lenses. It's the most interactive museum in the city: you can operate the mechanisms by hand here.

• Cost: €7, reduced €3.50, free for children under 14 (as of 09/2026, Museu del Cinema rates and hours).
• Who it's for: those traveling with kids, because almost everything here can be touched.

Museu d'Història dels Jueus occupies the premises of Girona's last synagogue, closed in 1492, and sits deep in the Jewish Quarter at C. de la Força, 8 (as of 09/2026, entry with the Gironamuseus card).

In the walls of the quarter's old houses you can still see the niches where mezuzahs were placed. The exhibition explains how the community lived before the expulsion from Catalonia and tells the story of the school of Kabbalists, the first to emerge on the Iberian Peninsula. The Nahmanides Institute for Jewish Studies operates alongside the museum.

• Cost: entry with the Gironamuseus card; buy a separate ticket at the ticket office (entry with the card, 09/2026).
• Who it's for: those who want to understand why Girona is called the cradle of Israel.

Museu d'Arqueologia de Catalunya operates in the Romanesque monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants at C. de Santa Llúcia, 8, across the river, about five minutes from the Cathedral (as of 09/2026, address in Gironamuseus).

The collection spans from the Paleolithic to the Middle Ages and is considered the oldest museum collection in Catalonia. The most famous exhibits were found at the site of Roman Gerunda and the old Jewish cemetery: a sarcophagus with epitaphs and a 4th-century mosaic.

• Cost: admission with the Gironamuseus card, see rates on the museum's website (card admission terms, 09/2026).
• Who it's for: those who want to see Roman Gerunda in the original.
• The catch: the main collection takes up little space, and you'll get through the monastery itself faster than you expect.

5. Museu d'Història de Girona in a former monastery

Themes are spread across the rooms: democratic governance in medieval Girona, technology, the history of the sardana dance, and a collection of musical instruments. It also explains the origin of the Girona lioness, the symbol of the city.

• Cost: admission with the Gironamuseus card (Gironamuseus card museums, 09/2026).
• Who it's for: those visiting for one day who want to quickly piece together the city's history.

6. Museu de la Confitura: jam museum in Torrent

Museu de la Confitura is not in Girona but in the village of Torrent on Plaça Major. It's one of the three places on this list you can't reach on foot, and it's worth planning separately from a walk through the Old Town.

It tells the story of confiture: Pliny the Elder described a similar honey-based treat in the 1st century, the modern form of the dessert appeared in Hungary in the 17th century, and the French were the first to add gelatin to it. The museum allows tasting and hands-on participation in making it, and shops in the city sell local onion confiture.

• Cost: the museum is not included in the Gironamuseus card, buy a ticket on site (card contents, 09/2026).
• Who it's for: those traveling with kids who enjoy tastings.
• The catch: you need to travel to Torrent separately, it's not part of the city route.

7. Casa Masó: home of architect Rafael Masó

Architect Rafael Masó (1880-1935) was born at Casa Masó, C. de les Ballesteries, 29. It is the only house on the Onyar River open to visitors (as of 09/2026, Casa Masó admission with the card).

The interiors are fully preserved: the library, living room, embroidery room, and a gallery with paintings by Spanish masters. Masó worked in the Noucentisme style, the Catalan take on Art Nouveau with clean facades and interior courtyards. The house belongs to the city council, and the architect's foundation runs the city's cultural programs.

• Cost: admission with the Gironamuseus card (card for six city museums, 09/2026).
• Who it's for: anyone interested in Art Nouveau architecture and early 20th-century interiors.

Teatre-Museu Dalí grew out of the ruins of Figueres' municipal theater, which the artist rebuilt himself. The museum is called "the largest surrealist object in the world"; it opened in 1974 and holds the most complete collection of Dalí's work (as of 09/2026, Teatre-Museu Dalí page).

The address is Plaça Gala i Salvador Dalí, 5. Tickets cost €18.50 online and €20.50 at the box office, reduced admission is €15 online, and in July and August it costs more: €22 online (as of 09/2026, Dalí ticket prices). It's best to book in advance: Teatre-Museu Dalí tickets with a time slot.

• Getting there: Figueres, Plaça Gala i Salvador Dalí, 5; the easiest way from Girona is by train (Teatre-Museu Dalí address, 09/2026).
• Who it's for: anyone who wants to see Dalí's work in the original, because the collection here is the most complete.
• The catch: in July and August tickets cost more and the box office line is longer.

Museu del Joguet de Catalunya is in Figueres, housed in the old mansion of Baroness Terrades. The collection began in the late nineties, and today the display cases hold several thousand toys: mechanical, cardboard, metal, and plush.

Among the exhibits are toys that belonged to Dalí and García Lorca, a pre-war model railway, and a collection of old photographs showing how children's play has changed. A cow figure stands at the entrance, hopscotch is painted on the path, and the museum's symbol is a cat. Check the museum's website for the exact address and opening hours before you go.

• Cost: check rates on the museum's website.
• Who it's for: those traveling with children who want to show them toys from the last century.
• The catch: some display cases are devoted to private collections, so don't expect a large interactive program here.

Girona museums on the map

The map below shows the Old Town: six museums from the list are within its bounds and connected by a walking route. Teatre-Museu Dalí, Museu del Joguet de Catalunya, and Museu de la Confitura are not part of this route; you travel to them separately.

It's better to buy tickets in advance. At Teatre-Museu Dalí, online tickets are two euros cheaper than at the box office, and morning slots at Museu d'Art de Girona sell out first (as of 09/2026, Museu d'Art de Girona prices).

In short: what's worth booking

If you're visiting Girona for the first time, get the Gironamuseus card: it pays for itself by the second museum, because after that admission is half price. From there, the choice is simple.

If you'd rather not read the information panels yourself, guided tours of Girona on GetYourGuide cover the same route in a couple of hours.
