The best part of a trip is often free
Museums with free entry one day a month, viewpoints, parks and walks you can do on your own. We tell you which ones match your dates and which, though free, still need booking. Today, in Barcelona.
Free doesn't always mean “turn up and walk in”
Many free plans have limited places, timed entry or a list that opens on a specific day. We tell you beforehand, not when you're already at the door.
- Free entry with booking.You have to book a slot on the organiser's website. We take you straight there.
- Free entry at set times.Only the first Sunday, only after 3 pm, only out of season.
- Free with a tip.Walking tours where you pay what you think it was worth at the end. We say so clearly, so it doesn't catch you out.
- Simply free.A viewpoint, a park, a square with music on a Thursday in July.

The guide checks your dates against the museums' free slots and picks what's open and fits what you fancy. Then it sets it next to the rest of your plan, so a free museum at 10:00 doesn't clash with the 10:30 train.

Xplore is funded by a commission when you book a paid activity from the site, and that doesn't change what you pay. Free plans appear for what they're worth, not for what they bring in.
