The best Barcelona night tours & experiences with locals

A city of flawless beauty and centuries-old sights, Barcelona at night becomes startlingly modern. When the sun sets, Spain’s most beguiling city transforms into a hotbed of nightlife as locals congregate at rooftop bars for a glass of vermouth before the real party begins. Barcelona night tours are the easiest way to skip out on the city’s tourist traps and get right into the good stuff. Your perfect night out could mean clubbing until sunrise, drinking and dining, or exploring softly lit streets lined with late-night boutiques – either way, we’ll make sure you spend an unforgettable night in Barcelona living it up exactly like the locals do.

See Barcelona by night

When darkness falls in Barcelona, the night sky crackles and fizzes with energy. On Barcelona night tours when the tourist traps have quieted, locals leave work to take back their streets and the true spirit of the city is tangible. The city by night will leave you breathless with exhilaration. Most Barcelona night tours are best begun sipping a glass of vermouth on a sprawling terrace as the last of the sun’s rays disappear. From there, the night is yours. With a local guide by your side, you’ll discover all the hotspots of Barcelona nightlife that aren’t necessarily in your guidebook.

Choose your own adventure

The list of things you could do on Barcelona night tours is as varied as the city’s visitors. It doesn’t matter what type of night owl you are – our private night tours in Barcelona will be 100% personalized to suit your pace. Maybe you and your guide will spend a lazy evening wandering moonlit cobbled streets with restaurant tables spilling out on the sidewalk, or catch some live music at a boisterous backstreet cava bar. Or perhaps you’ll choose to dance till sunrise at an electrifying club or bar-hop through an eclectic neighborhood to experience Barcelona nightlife in its purest sense.

Latest reviews from our guests

I love using City Unscripted for a private tour when I travel to Europe and Alan was absolutely fantastic! He customized the itinerary based on what I wanted to do (and got tickets for us in advance so we could go up the tower at the Sagrada). It was so nice not to have to think about where I was going and just followed him around the whole day. Alan is very personable and easy to talk to (as evident by him making conversations with the taxi drivers and hotel bellhop) and most importantly, he is an amazing photographer so definitely a plus for a personal tour guide that can take you around and take amazing pictures! Definitely highly recommend Alan (and I appreciate that he came prepared with a Gaudi book in case there are hard questions haha!)

We really enjoyed our time with Ivanna. She was a great guide to help us see the sites of Barcelona. She reached out in advance of our trip and tailored our tour around our interests. Bonus - Ivanna is a professional photographer, so we didn't have to worry about taking photos while enjoying the city.

We had a wonderful tour with Ivanna in Barcelona. She planned the day to include Moco Museum, Casa Batilo, and several additional stops. Ivanna was fun, knowledgeable and capable guide for a full day tour. She is fluent in English making it easy to communicate. Ivanna is one of those rare guides who you want to stay in contact with as a friend.
