Start your 2-hour walking tour of the sites associated with Pablo Picasso. As you walk, listen as your guide explains how artistically minded Barcelona had a profound effect on the young 20th-century artist who lived here for times between 1895 and 1905. Stroll through the bohemian streets Picasso frequented and view the El Quatre Gats, a café where he met with other avant-garde artists. See the Llotja Mar art school where he studied, and admire the three friezes at the Frisos del Col legi d'Arquitectes — his only open-air artworks. Continue past other locations important to the youthful artist, including places where he painted, and amble through the charming La Ribera quarter on route to the Picasso Museum. With your guide, use your skip-the-line ticket to bypass the queues, and head inside to view some of the over 4,000 works. Stroll around and get insightful commentary from your guide on the main highlights, most of them completed in Picasso’s early life.
