Not as touristy as Barcelona, the city offers a relaxing atmosphere, quiet cafes, an historic Old Town and square, and even a castle.

Instituted in 1974, this museum was built on the remains of the former Figueres Theater, and features a broad range of works of Salvador Dalí (1904-1989.)

With on-line bought tickets (strongly recommended) and a speed train the museum gives good overview of Dali's talents - paintings, sculptures, visual effects in a labyrinth of a "building" that, already impressive from outside, contains garden and a "theater". Despite time limited ticket entry, the place (in October!) was still crowded but as one can move freely around it is not a big problem. Just wander around and enjoy! Worthwhile the visit to otherwise uninteresting town.
