The cheapest Picasso Museum tickets on GetYourGuide are $40, both guided tours with entry, and the most reviewed is the $41 ICONO Barcelona tour at 4.6 stars from 3,976 reviews. All nine listings include a guide or a walk, because none is a plain ticket. The museum itself sells entry at museupicassobcn.cat for 12 euros online. I’d book the $41 tour if you want a guide inside.
I compared the nine Picasso Museum tickets and tours you can book on GetYourGuide right now, all for the Museu Picasso on Carrer de Montcada in Barcelona. Prices for these Picasso Museum tickets are in US dollars and come from the listings, checked in November 2026. Every one of them includes admission, but a guide, a walk through the old town or a second museum is added to it. The buttons that open GetYourGuide are affiliate links (more on that on my about page). One thing to know first: this page is about Barcelona’s Museu Picasso, not the Musée Picasso in Paris or the museum in Málaga.

Picasso Museum Tickets and Prices
Picasso Museum tickets and prices come in two layers: the museum’s own 12 euro entry, and the $40 to $59 range of tours that bundle it. My pick of the Picasso Museum tickets with a guide inside is the Tours For Today Skip-the-Line Guided Tour at $40, rated 4.6 from 218 reviews. It includes admission, a tour led by an art expert in English, French, Italian, German or Spanish, free time to explore after the guide leaves, and a radio guide system for groups of more than 10.
It lasts about 1.5 hours. You meet in the courtyard of Palau Dalmases at Carrer de Montcada 20, where the guide waits at a welcome desk, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before. The listing does not include hotel transfers, tips or audio headsets for groups under 10. Reviewers praise the guides’ knowledge, and one says a guide helped a late party catch up with the group. At $40 it ties for the lowest price among the Picasso Museum tickets that put a live guide in the galleries.

“Excellent experience, The guide was amazing!!! strongly recommended” – GetYourGuide review
Skip-the-line Picasso Museum tickets are really tour tickets, and the one the data ranked first for this heading is the Julia Travel Gray Line Picasso Museum guided tour at $40, rated 3.9 from 128 reviews, English only. It includes admission, a guide and a radio system. The listing has two meeting points depending on the option, and the one shown is Plaça del Fossar de les Moreres, from where the group walks to the museum.
I want to be straight about the rating. It is one of the weaker scores in this set, and the written reviews I have are warm about individual guides, so the score may reflect other things such as group handling. The listing does not say it skips a queue, and the official site describes no separate fast lane. If skipping the wait is your reason to buy, the $41 ICONO Barcelona tour is the one that says so in its title, and it is covered under the online-tickets heading below.

“Oliver Vilar Roça provided the best guide and tour! I highly recommend! :)” – GetYourGuide review
Picasso Museum tickets for Barcelona that combine two museums are the Picasso and Moco Museum tour from Julia Travel Gray Line at $59, rated 4.0 from 40 reviews. It lasts 3 hours and includes a ticket to the Picasso Museum, a professional local guide, a tour inside it and a ticket to the Moco Museum. The listing is in English only, with a meeting point at the Eternal Flame sculpture in Plaça del Fossar de les Moreres.
It is the only one of these Picasso Museum tickets that adds a second museum. One reviewer loved it and said the Moco was immersive. Another was unhappy that the guide spoke Spanish to three children, which doubled the time in a group of 21 English speakers, so check the language on your date. At $59 it only makes sense if you already want the Moco, because the Picasso part alone costs $40 elsewhere in this list.

“I loved the tour, Marc was very knowledgeable and I learned things about Picasso I never knew before despite studying art history in school. The moco museum was also really cool and immersive! Would definitely recommend ☺️” – GetYourGuide review
Picasso Museum tickets online mean two different routes: the museum’s own ticket page, where a collection ticket costs 12 euros, or a tour that includes admission. The ICONO Barcelona Skip-the-Line Guided Tour is the tour to know, at $41, rated 4.6 from 3,976 reviews, which makes it the most reviewed of all the listings by a wide margin. It lasts 1.5 hours with a maximum of 20 guests per guide and headsets to hear the guide.
The meeting point is the thing to get right. It is not the museum: you gather at Palau Dalmases, 90 metres away on the same street, in front of the Moco Museum, and entry is only possible with your guide. The languages are English, Spanish, Italian, French, German and Japanese. Reviewers name several guides and praise their passion, and one says the guide engaged their teenagers. The listing says the itinerary covers early works such as First Communion and Science and Charity, plus the Las Meninas series. It is the one I’d choose online for a first visit, and the pick of the Picasso Museum tickets for most people.

“Our guide, Romina, was very engaging. I love the way she spoke, engaged the teeners, and spoke diff languages! She even knew some Tagalog / Filipino words. She is amazing!” – GetYourGuide review
The Picasso Museum in Barcelona is worth it if the early work interests you, and tickets for the Picasso Museum are easy to find, and the $43 Picasso Museum and optional Born food and wine tour from GoforaJourney is the small-group version of that answer. It is rated 4.5, but from only 5 reviews, so treat the score as a first impression. The listing says up to 8 people, an expert guide, the entry ticket and, if you select the tapas option, food and wine and an El Born walk.
The museum itself is the argument. Wikipedia describes it as housing 4,251 works by Picasso in five adjoining medieval palaces on Montcada Street, and says it opened on 9 March 1963 as the first museum dedicated to him and the only one created in his lifetime. Wikidata gives 1,130,500 visitors in 2024. The listing here is English only and starts at the main entrance on Carrer de Montcada 20. One reviewer found the directions to the meeting place poor, so read the voucher twice.

“Olga E was excellent guide- informative and enthusiastic! Directions for meeting place were very poor- nothing to with guide. Tour operator needs to improve this.” – GetYourGuide review
The Picasso Museum ticket price on the official site is 12 euros online and 13 at the ticket office, with a reduced price of 7 euros, per the official ticket page. Reduced entry needs accreditation and covers ages 18 to 25, over-65s, accredited university students, unemployed people and holders of the Barcelona Libraries Card. Under-18s enter free. The same page lists Articket BCN at 38 euros, one admission to six museums for 12 months, this one included.
On GetYourGuide the cheapest ticket sits at $40, so what you pay on top of the 12 euros is for the guide. This heading’s data match is a left-over rather than the best fit: the TourzUP Picasso Walking Tour with Picasso Museum Tickets at $41, rated 3.4 from 145 reviews, 1 hour. It includes access tickets and an outside guide if that option is selected, and it lists a guided tour inside the museum as not included. The reviews are the problem. One reviewer says there was no guide or walking tour, and another could not find the guide although they were on time. I’d choose another of the Picasso Museum tickets here, and if you want a plain entry, the official site sells those.

“Leider haben wir den Guide nicht gefunden, obwohl wir rechtzeitig da waren. Wir haben dann den Audio Guide extra bezahlt und glücklicherweise hat man uns mit den Tickets in das Museum gelassen.” – GetYourGuide review
I found no Picasso Museum promo code on the official site, and I would not trust one from a coupon page. What the museum does publish are discounts, listed on its ticket page: Bicing card holders get 25 percent off the ticket price, the online price is a euro under the ticket-office price, and free entry applies on the first Sunday of each month and on Thursdays from 4 to 7 pm with a reservation. Those are the real ways to pay less than the full Picasso Museum tickets price.
The product the data matched to this heading was a leftover: The Touring Pandas Picasso’s Barcelona and Picasso Museum Walking Tour at $43, rated 4.6 from 28 reviews. It lasts 2.5 hours in a small group of up to 12, in English, Japanese or Chinese, and includes a fast-track ticket to the museum. The guide takes you through the Gothic Quarter, with stops such as Els Quatre Gats, before the museum, and a guided tour inside the museum is not included. It is not a discount, but it is a good-value route if you want the context before you go in.

“It was a very very nice tour! Thanks for the Beautiful tour” – GetYourGuide review
The audio guide is the official alternative to a live guide, and the museum’s guided tours and audio guides page says you can collect one at the desk on the day or buy admission with an audio guide online. It lists the main guide in Catalan, Spanish, English, French, Italian, German, Russian, Japanese, Mandarin and Korean, plus a children’s guide in four languages. It gives no price for the audio guide, so I can’t say whether it is worth it in money terms.
The Picasso Museum and Walking Tour from ExperienceFirst is a left-over for this heading, since it has no audio guide. It is $49, rated 4.3 from 115 reviews, and lasts 1 hour. You get a guided walk through Picasso’s Barcelona, including Els Quatre Gats, and an entry ticket, and a guided tour inside the museum only if you select the private upgrade. The meeting point varies with the option you choose. A reviewer called the guide Cal knowledgeable and patient, and said he waited until they got into the museum. If you want to understand the artist before looking at the pictures, this is a cheaper way to get a guide than a private visit, which the official site prices at 150 to 200 euros per group.

“The Very Handsome Irish Tour-guide, Eoghan Owen) was knowledgeable, warm, kind and has a great sense of humor. We really enjoyed the experience.” – GetYourGuide review
Whether the Picasso Museum is worth visiting depends on what you want from Picasso, and the TourzUP El Born Guided Walking Tour with Picasso Museum at $59 is the listing the data placed here, though it has no rating yet. It lasts 3 hours and includes the entry tickets, a guide and a walking tour of El Born, with a self-guided visit inside the museum. A guided tour of the museum is listed as not included.
The walk passes Santa Maria del Mar, the Picasso Museum and the Palau de la Música Catalana, and goes into the Parc de la Ciutadella, per the listing. Two reviewers are on record. One calls it educational and fun, and another says it was not actually in El Born on the day because of a Catalan holiday, so I’d read the itinerary on your date. Google Maps rates the museum 4.4 from 40,776 reviews, so I’d say yes, it is worth visiting, and I’d pick a guided museum tour over this walk if the pictures are the point.

“Great tour. Educational and fun. Would do it again. Thank you.” – GetYourGuide review
The museum is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10 am to 7 pm and closed every Monday, plus 1 January, 1 May, 24 June and 25 December, per the official site. The nearest metro stations are Jaume I on line L4 and Arc de Triomf on line L1, according to the museum’s getting here page, and Jaume I is about 4 minutes away on foot by my estimate. The full table, last entry and the best time are in my Picasso Museum opening hours and visitor guide.
Which Ticket Fits You
Choosing among the Picasso Museum tickets comes down to whether you want a guide inside the galleries, a walk through the old town, or a second museum. This table is built from the listings; the sections above hold the detail. There are no separate trip-type pages for this museum, because the guided tours and the walks are the same nine products, so the table is the whole comparison.

Near Picasso Museum
The Museu Picasso sits on Carrer de Montcada in the La Ribera quarter of the old city, and your Picasso Museum tickets cover only the museum, while the other sights are a short walk away. Walking times are my estimates from straight-line distance, multiplied by 1.3 at 4.8 km/h. The cathedral is closest, about 7 minutes, then Plaça de Catalunya at about 15 and the Columbus monument at about 18. Casa Batlló is about 25 minutes away, so see my Casa Batlló tickets page if you want to pair them, and La Pedrera is about 31. The Sagrada Família, at about 34 minutes, is covered in my Sagrada Familia tickets comparison, and Park Güell, which I estimate at about 65 minutes on foot, in my Park Güell tickets guide. The cathedral, La Pedrera and the other sights stay plain text here.
I pick from these Picasso Museum tickets by who is going:
Cheapest with a live guide: the $40 Tours For Today tour, or the $40 Julia Travel tour if you can live with its 3.9 rating.
First visit and most proven: the $41 ICONO Barcelona tour, 4.6 from 3,976 reviews, in six languages.
Small group: the $43 GoforaJourney tour for up to 8, remembering it has only 5 reviews.
Context before the pictures: the $43 Touring Pandas walk, 2.5 hours, or the $49 ExperienceFirst walk, 1 hour.
Two museums in one morning: the $59 Picasso and Moco combination.
No guide inside: the official 12 euro ticket, which I’d buy online.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to buy tickets in advance for the Picasso Museum?+
The official site says the museum has limited capacity and that the free slots (first Sunday of the month, Open Door days and Thursdays from 4 to 7 pm) need a prior reservation. Paid tickets are 12 euros online and 13 at the ticket office. I'd book ahead for a guided slot, since tours also need a reservation.
What day is the Picasso Museum free?+
Per the official ticket page, entry is free on the first Sunday of each month, on the Open Door days (12 February, 17 May and 24 September) and on Thursdays from 4 to 7 pm. All of them need a prior reservation, released from 10 am four days before the visit. Under-18s and some other groups always enter free.
How much is a Picasso Museum ticket?+
The official collection ticket is 12 euros online and 13 at the ticket office, with a 7 euro reduced price. The nine GetYourGuide listings I compared cost $40 to $59 because each adds a guide or a walking tour to the entry. A guided tour is an extra 6 euros on the official site.
What is the best time of day to visit the Picasso Museum?+
The museum is open 10 am to 7 pm, Tuesday to Sunday, and I found no official statement of quiet hours. Arriving at opening is the usual way to avoid queues, but that is my judgement, not a sourced fact. Free Thursday evenings and the first Sunday are likely to be busier, which is also a guess.
How long does it take to walk through the Picasso Museum?+
The official pages I read give no visit length. The guided listings run 1 to 1.5 hours for the museum and up to 3 hours when they add a walking tour or the Moco Museum. I'd allow about 1.5 to 2 hours on your own, an estimate rather than a sourced figure.
Is the Picasso Museum in Barcelona worth it?+
Google Maps rates it 4.4 from 40,776 reviews, and Wikipedia says it holds 4,251 works by Picasso and was the first museum dedicated to him. The guided listings score 4.6 at best. I'd go if you want to see his early years in Barcelona, and I'd add a guide if you know little about him.
Can you skip the line at the Picasso Museum?+
The two guided tours that say skip-the-line in their titles are the $41 ICONO Barcelona tour and the $40 Tours For Today tour, both rated 4.6. Entry on the ICONO tour is only with the guide, who meets you at Palau Dalmases on Carrer de Montcada, not at the door. The official site does not describe a separate queue-jump.
Are Picasso Museum tickets from GetYourGuide the official ones?+
No. The official ticket is sold by the museum at museupicassobcn.cat for 12 euros. The listings here are tours operated by companies such as ICONO Barcelona and Tours For Today that include admission, so the price covers a guide or walk as well. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before on all nine.
