Why explore Barcelona at night

Barcelona at night has his very special charm! Especially in summer it is extremely pleasant when the summer air cools down a bit in the evening until night.

Having experienced something extraordinary will certainly contribute to a successful evening. A city tour on a Segway through the nightly Barcelona is certainly a highlight of a Barcelona trip. A tapas lead with a subsequent flamenco show is also something special.

The ghost tour is scary beautiful and amusing. This leads them into the medieval life of the old town when people believed in spirits and witches and raged the Inquisition. In many places in the Gothic quarter, in the Raval and Born district, you can still find information on the old superstitions of ghosts, witches and wizards. The tour guides will also show you old brothels and places of the Inquisition. Our tip: You can book the German -speaking ghost tour as an open or private tour.
