The Barcelona Tourist Board has introduced a new way to give tourists better value for money in the city. The Arqueoticket entitles holders to visit the Archaeology Museum of Catalonia, the City History Museum, the Barbier-Mueller Museum of Pre-Columbian Art, the Egyptian Museum and the Maritime Museum. The ticket, which is available from tourist offices and the museums involved, costs 17 euros, which represents a saving of 4.40 euros over the individual entry prices. It is valid until December 31st of the year it is purchased, so does not have to be used in a single visit.

The Archaeology Museum of Catalonia traces human development from prehistoric times to the medieval era by means of ceramics, coins, sculpture and all manner of objects found at the main archaeological sites in Catalonia. Exhibits include Roman mosaics, Carthaginian exhibits from Ibiza and a large selection of objects from the Greek settlement of Empúreis in northern Catalonia. The museum is housed in a pavilion built as part of the International Exhibition held in Barcelona in 1929 and features a hexagonal main hall.

The City History Museum occupies a Gothic merchant’s palace right in the heart of the old town of Barcelona. Remains of the Roman city of Barcino have been discovered below the museum, and visitors can follow a route taking in vestiges of streets, baths and the foundations of houses.The visit also includes the 14th-century Tinell Hall and the Chapel of Saint Agatha on the Plaça del Rei.

The Egyptian Museum contains the ancient Egyptian archaeological collections of Jordi Clos, one of Barcelona’s leading hoteliers. More than 700 exhibits are on display, including jewellery, ceramics, and of course mummies and tombs, divided into sections that deal with everyday life, funeral rituals, religious beliefs and the world of the pharaohs.
