Dali - Salvador Dali House-museum in Portlligat ^Popular

House-museum of Salvador Dali in Portlligat on the Costa Brava coast of Spain. Tip,. Book tickets in advance. Casa-Museu Salvador Dalí - Portlligat. Port Lligat is a small fishing village famous for being the home of surrealist painter Salvador Dali and his wife Gala.

This was Salvador Dalí's only home after childhood and he lived here from 1930 until 1982, when Gala died. After that he took up residence at Gala Dali's residence in her later years called Púbol Castle, which is also open to the public.

The Salvador Dali House-museum in Port Lligat was opened to the public as a museum in 1997. There are some hotels in Port Lligat itself or you can stay in charming Cadaques, which is very close by.  Dali's home is a result of combining four cottages on the sea to complete his house and studios in 1971. The diverse layouts of the separate buildings resulted in a labyrinth of rooms, each left the way they were, when Dali lived there.
Dali's house in Port Lligat near Cadaques is open to the public most of the year, but check the opening times of Dali's house in Port Lligat  before you visit. Due to the small size of the house and rooms, only small accompanied (not guided) tours of groups up to 8 persons are possibl and reservations must always be made in advance and you must pick up your ticket 30 minutes before the time of your tour.

Late arrival even by a few minutes, means that you will lose the right to enter the museum and your ticket will be sold to someone else waiting to see if there is a no-show or cancellation. It is also recommended that you book well in advance during typical holiday times like Easter and summer. Tours commence at 10 minute intervals and take about 45 minutes to complete.

The Salvador Dalí House structure has many narrow and irregular steps to get to all the rooms and natural surroundings of the house mean that access to the building for people with reduced mobility or in wheelchairs sadly is not possible. The number to call for reservations to visit the Salvador Dali House-museum in Port Lligat is +34 972251015 or e-mail pllgrups@dali-estate.org
