Casa Dali-Gala Cadaqués Portlligat: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Every corner of this house is an art! A must see spot when visiting Cadaques. Be sure to purchase tickets in advance, otherwise you might not get the spot, as it’s limited amounts for visiting every day.
Fantastic experience:
Magnificent! What a pleasure to discover this place.

Fantastic experience:
Nice, quiet, I must also say that the season will have a lot to do with it, I came in October

Fantastic experience:
Entry ticket €17, it is advisable to book because small groups enter at set times. You should leave the car by the church, there is a free gravel parking lot, perhaps it would be better to say stones, anyway it is really very spacious. From there, there is a walk of about 15 minutes downhill (which will be uphill on the way back), so if you have elderly people with you, I recommend going beyond the church and seeing if there are places along the beach, in low season there should not be any difficulties. We enjoyed the visit, and ended up in Cadaqués which I recommend visiting.

Fantastic experience:
After many attempts to obtain tickets, we finally managed to visit the house of Dalí and Gala in Portlligat. If you come to the area, it is essential to book in advance; there are not many visiting slots. The house is impressive and very true to Dalí. It is a place to see with a sublime setting ☺️
Translated from French
Positive experience:
The village is beautiful but they charge 20 e to see the house. The museum is more interesting but it is not in Cadaques
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
The visit to the Dalí museum house is very good. You either love Dalí or hate him... there is no middle ground... I really like him, so I recommend the visit... better to buy tickets online because they sell out! Outside the house they have everything very well prepared... there is a place with lockers, where you have to pass to leave your things (it's mandatory before visiting... no bags or backpacks allowed). There is also a small bar with stools outside if you want to have something while you wait. After the visit, attached to the museum house, there is a souvenir shop for Dalí. And in case you haven’t considered it, in front there are boats for a trip to Cap de Creus... there is one called 'la barca Gal.la', which is the one Dalí used to take walks with his wife. It's very nice, the captain is very entertaining... and he stops at a cove for a little swim... the cost is 16€... it's worth it... I did it all... In this area, you can also enjoy the little beach, with rocks, though, and in front, there is a 'chiringuito' if you want to stay for lunch and enjoy the whole day... Cadaqués and Portlligat are great.

Fantastic experience: A lovely place where you can get to know Dalí's personality.

Excellent and exciting experience!

Fantastic experience:
Beautiful quirky house, very winding and something to discover everywhere... not as crazily decorated as one might think. Only those who have seen Port Lligat and his house can truly understand Dali and his art (according to him)... a must for every Dali fan.

Fantastic experience:
We could only visit the garden, which is simply magnificent. Do not hesitate to book the house at least fifteen days in advance.

Unfortunately, it was closed.
Translated from Deutsch
Positive experience: A bit underwhelming. Not sure he actually lived here.
Fantastic experience: What an experience! The staff here are very approachable, friendly and bi-lingual or even tri-lingual. Tickets can be bought from the office, and there is usually a short wait between 30 minutes to 1 hour before your tour starts. You can buy tickets in advance online too. However, there is plenty to do; watch the film in the outhouse; look at the development of the fisherman huts and also visit the gift shop. I visited in the low season, and in January so nearby cafes were closed. But; you can take a short walk on the coast. But do bring some bottle water and snacks. The tour itself is wonderful, and visiting the house and the olive grove really gives you an insight into his introversion and deep state of creativity. I admire Dalí and have read much of his work, so for me it was an incredible experience. Catalonia and Spain overall were so lucky to have him!
Fantastic experience:
I have visited it from the outside because it was closed, but the surroundings are marvelous. A must-see!
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Visit made in January with little crowd, so very pleasant. There is no guided tour per se, but visits are conducted every 15 minutes with a museum staff member (about a 30-minute visit). For our part, a very friendly gentleman took the time to provide some explanations in French, Spanish, and English about Dali's house. The exterior is very pleasant and the visit is self-guided. However, be careful, the price has increased on 01/01 apparently. Now the full price is 17€ while the sign in front of the museum still indicates 16€. A somewhat dishonest practice towards visitors. The price has only been updated in a document at the ticket counter.

Positive experience:
An eccentric, pretentious, whimsical place according to the work and the artist, a place to get to know and discover more ...

Fantastic experience:
A very pleasant visit that is worth it. It is well organized and special mention goes to Margarita who accompanied us and explained the particularities of the house. It is essential to make a reservation.

Positive experience:
We really liked the house and the guide gave us all kinds of explanations about the place
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
Visit to the exterior of Dalí's house in Port Lligat. Totally recommended. We wanted to tour the entire house, but being a holiday and having a lot of people, the capacity for the house visit was full and we couldn't do it. That's why I recommend buying the tickets in advance (online).
Translated from Catalan
Fantastic experience:
Highly recommended place 18 minutes walk from the beach of Cadaqués, beautiful views, and to learn about the stages of Dalí's life. I recommend buying the ticket well in advance, otherwise you might miss it, and I suggest visiting the courtyard and olive grove.

Fantastic experience: Incredible place

Fantastic experience:
Magnificent place, the house is open for visits but there is an endless queue! We preferred to see the view that surrounded the house! Make sure to bring good sneakers and water bottles because it’s uphill on the way back and it's stifling hot in August.
Translated from French
Positive experience:
A very positive experience. Thanks to this visit I was able to 'humanize' the figure of Salvador Dali. The house is a marvel, and the explanations are appreciated. What I didn't like was the attitude of the guides and ticket sellers: looking at you down their noses for being Spanish. In fact, our visit (we were 8) was shared with a French couple, and the guide decided to speak first in French and then in Spanish. Moreover, whenever possible she threw anti-Spanish jabs.

Fantastic experience:
House museum of the famous artist. With sculptures outside: 'The egg' and 'the faces'

Fantastic experience:
In Cadaqués, the thing you can't miss is visiting Dalí's house, where he spent almost his entire life with Gala and where he created countless works. It is commonly said that only by visiting the Portlligat house can you truly understand his work.
It is recommended to buy tickets online in advance, otherwise, there is a high chance it will be fully booked, especially in summer.
Translated from Chinese
Fantastic experience:
This house-museum in Portlligart is where Dalí lived and worked regularly until the death of his wife, Gala. The house is large with stunning views, has several floors, gardens, and huge terraces, and preserves many objects from both his artistic and personal activities. I really enjoyed the visit; I found it very interesting. It is necessary to book the visit in advance on their website. The tickets are a bit expensive, costing €19, and include a guided tour where they explain the curiosities of each room and Gaudí's life in that place. We couldn't buy the tickets online because they were sold out the day before, but we went early and it turned out there was a cancellation, and we were able to enter. With this visit, I learned more about this great and peculiar genius named Salvador Dalí.

Fantastic experience:
I loved the visit. The guides are French-speaking and friendly. The tours are in small groups. The place is beautiful.
Translated from French
Fantastic experience:
I loved it. They conduct a guided tour that explains the history of the house and its rooms. The guide who took us, Guillem, was a true professional and very friendly.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience: «One cannot understand my painting without knowing Portlligat.» he said so here I am. I can’t, won’t, shan’t describe anything I’ve seen. Must be experienced. His art, his passion, his connection with Gala, his genius... will inspire me everlastingly. The mirror in his bedroom is placed for Dalí to watch the sunrise without getting out of the bed. His has four Taurus placements in his natal chart no surprise. Dude is my soulmate.
Positive experience:
Beautiful place that showcases the privacy of the well-known artist.
Translated from Deutsch
Positive experience:
Fantastic visit. We really enjoyed getting to know their house and workshop to better understand their thoughts. In addition, the visit was very well explained without even being a guided tour. As a downside, having to arrive 30 minutes early to collect the tickets when you had previously purchased them online.
Translated from Spanish
Fantastic experience:
The Dali House, a stunning site: you may not like his works, but you cannot not love his house, original, extravagant, built in a location with magnificent views. The visit to the house itself is guided, but don't miss the gardens which also offer beautiful views; You need to book several days in advance and choose the time; we arrived an hour early and they accepted to move our visit forward by half an hour, allowing us to visit the gardens while we waited. A must-see in Cadaqués!

Fantastic experience:
It’s worth paying the 15 euros for the entry. However, you need to book in advance. The house is in an idyllic location a short walk from Cadaques. The people were very friendly and explain everything in all languages. The olive grove is impressive and very pleasant. The pool area is the coolest part. Even though Dali would be canceled right now, it’s worth seeing.
