What's included in Barcelona Nightlife & Hidden History Tour with Drinks
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar
A basilica doesn't seem like an appropriate meeting point for a night out but for us, it's the perfect place to start! As you'll discover later on, Catalans can get a little wild when they party, including monks and nuns. After an introduction into Barcelona's bizarre traditions we'll head to the first stop on our adventure.
El Born
As Barcelona's former red light district, El Born is full of forbidden, scandalous history to uncover. Your guide will fill you in on the secrets of spotting a 14th century brothel and tell you other legends about the sex culture of the city. Afterwards, we'll head to a graveyard for a bit of paranormal activity before visiting some more spots where we'll try Spanish vermouth, cava sangria, and a centuries-old shot native to Barcelona.
Gothic Quarter (Barri Gotic)
Your guide will lead you through the winding streets of Barcelona's oldest neighbourhood before bringing you to a modern bar for a bit of music. Here you'll have a surprise cocktail. But when the tour is over it doesn't mean the fun has to stop. You can continue the night with your newfound friends!
