The best Barcelona night and ghost tours

Barcelona comes alive late, and its evening tours lean into that. Ghost walks explore the darker legends of the Gothic Quarter, from the Inquisition to plague burials, and flamenco shows and church concerts fill the evenings. Christmas lights tours run in November and December, and sunset catamaran cruises leave Port Vell in the warmer months.

Before you book

Dinner in Barcelona rarely starts before 8.30pm, so a 7pm tour fits neatly before a meal. Ghost walks are usually around 90 minutes and cover uneven, dimly lit lanes, so wear sensible shoes. Some contain gruesome stories, so check the age guidance if you are bringing children. The metro runs until midnight from Sunday to Thursday, until 2am on Fridays and all night on Saturdays.
