How should you plan your Barcelona museum visits?

Most museums close on Mondays (except MACBA, which closes Tuesdays, and Moco, which is open daily). If you're in Barcelona on a Monday, your options are Moco, the Sagrada Família, and other Gaudí buildings like Park Güell (open daily). Before you go, check what to wear: some sites enforce dress codes, especially religious buildings.

Saturday is the best day for free entry: MNAC is free from 3 PM and MACBA from 4 PM. If you have the Articket BCN (€38 for Picasso, MNAC, Miró, MACBA, Tàpies, and CCCB), any day works — and you get skip-the-line at all six.
