What is a Barcelona Bar Crawl

A Barcelona Bar Crawl is a guided tour that takes participants through some of Barcelona’s most famous nightlife districts. It offers an unique insight into the city’s nightlife by exploring several different areas, allowing you to meet locals while enjoying a variety of drinks, food, music and conversation.

Bar crawls often take place in the historical areas of the city such as Barri Gòtic and El Born. You’ll be guided through some of Barcelona’s traditional bars and pubs, underground clubs and live music venues, each offering its own unique atmosphere.

A typical tour usually lasts around 4-5 hours and covers 3-4 bars or clubs. The tour also includes free drinks at the first bar and discounts at each of the subsequent locations. You’ll also be given lots of inside information about Barcelona’s culture and its various districts.

What Can You Expect from a Barcelona Bar Crawl

You can expect a fun and informative evening that introduces you to Barcelona’s party scene. Depending on the tour package you choose, activities may include watching flamenco shows, taking part in beer tasting sessions, enjoying tapas platters or visiting one of Barcelona’s most famous nightclubs (such as Opium or Eclipse). Along with discounts on drinks, you may get access to exclusive events and parties during your tour.

The pace of the crawl may differ depending on the group size, but you’ll be able to explore each bar thoroughly. The focus of the tour remains on drinking, so you won’t be rushed from one place to another. You’re free to stay as long as you like, or move onto the next bar when you’re ready.

Do I Need to Book in Advance?

We recommend booking in advance if possible, as the popularity of Barcelona Bar Crawls means they can be fully booked quite easily. Many offer discounts for booking online, so look out for these when checking out the different tours available. They range from €20-40 depending on time and availability, with discounts available for groups.

If you don’t have time to book online in advance, you can often join a crawl at the start point by paying the fee directly to the guide or organizer. We recommend checking their website or social media pages for updates before heading over there though, as you can never be sure if the tour will be running due to weather or other cancellations.

Tips for Enjoying Your Barcelona Bar Crawl

To make sure you get the most out of your bar crawl, here are some tips we suggest keeping in mind:

• Stay hydrated. With drinks being served all night long it’s important to drink plenty of water too.
• Leave early if you need to – most crawls start early so you’ll have time to get back if needed.

 

• Remember that Barcelona nightlife can last until late so plan your journey home accordingly.
• Dress comfortably – most bar crawls are casual so dress accordingly.
• Bring cash – some bars won’t accept cards so it’s best to have some cash handy!
