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.

Amazing tour! Alan was an excellent host and guide. He is very knowledgeable, adaptable, intuitive, generous, and has a wicked sense of humour. The experience was more like site seeing with a friend than a stogy tour. I highly recommend Alan and his skill set.

We had a fantastic afternoon with Pau. He is an incredible guide—deeply knowledgeable about the history of Barcelona and passionate about sharing it. He met us promptly at the cathedral and led us through the winding streets of the Gothic Quarter, highlighting both iconic landmarks and hidden gems we never would have found on our own. One of the most memorable stops was the peaceful Plaça de Sant Felip Neri, where Pau shared its moving history. We also loved visiting the historic café Els Quatre Gats, a favorite of Picasso’s, which gave us a real sense of the city’s artistic soul. Later, we took a break at a very local spot to enjoy rich coffee, thick hot chocolate, and freshly made churros. Pau made the city come alive for us, and this tour was the perfect way to begin our time in Barcelona. Highly recommended!
