Take a 1-hour journey to Figueres, the birthplace of Salvador Dalí, and step into his surreal masterpiece — the Dalí Theatre-Museum, designed by the artist himself. Constructed to replace an old theatre that burnt down during the Spanish Civil War, the building is a work of surrealist art, topped with giant eggs and crowned by a geodesic dome. Inside, it holds the world’s largest collection of Dalí’s works, from early impressionist pieces like Port Alguer (1924) to later marvels like Galatea of the Spheres (1952). Don’t miss the Mae West room, an upside-down bathtub fixed to the ceiling, or the glittering jewellery collection. The artist himself is buried in a crypt below the stage, adding a layer of solemnity to the whimsy. Book tickets online to avoid long queues, and allow at least half a day to fully absorb the labyrinthine galleries, optical illusions, and the sheer audacity of Dalí’s vision.

By crossing the city bridges over the Onyar River, you can see the pastel-coloured houses that line the bank on the site of the old city walls. Pont de les Peixateries Velles, an iron bridge designed by Gustave Eiffel, offers stunning views of the city's trademark façade, the quintessential Girona experience.

Uppsala Concert & Congress is a multifunctional meeting place with a design and acoustics of world-class. The building is eight stories high and spans 14,600 square meters, making it an ideal forum for all kinds of concerts, conventions, events, and meetings. The building itself is well worth a visit for its renowned design and fantastic view. Uppsala Konsert & Kongress sells tickets to its own and other venues in Sweden.
