365 Days

The Excitement Never Stops

Barcelona is a top tourist destination all year round. There are endless restaurants, bars, clubs, shows and tours that are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The summer is the most popular time of year in Barcelona but the winter is still buzzing with people looking for that perfect holiday. You’ll never have a dull moment!

32+ Million

Fellow Tourists Per Year

Barcelona is famous tourism hub. The Port of Barcelona, for example, is the busiest European port for travel. Barcelona El Prat Airport has over 40 million passengers per year. It’s hugely connected by motorway and high-speed trains, linking to France and the rest of Europe, visiting anywhere else in Europe is possible from Barcelona!

180 Metros

Easy & Fast Transportation

Getting around Barcelona is easy because there’s a metro system which can take you almost anywhere. It’s opens early (5am - just as clubs are closing!) and it closes at midnight during the week, 2am on Friday night, and Saturday it is open all night! You can purchase a pass for cheap at any station and use Google Maps to find your route with ease!

7000+ Years

A Rich Cultural History

Barcelona is rich with history, a settlement in the El Raval neighbourhood was found, dating back to 5000 BC. There is even a myth that Hercules founded the city! Barcelona’s history isn’t just interesting, it has a powerful influence on the city and its people today. From art and architecture to culture and cuisine, the marks of age and experience are everywhere.

50+ Museums

So Much To Experience

Barcelona is not a vibrant and cutting edge city because it’s new but because it has embraced these ideals after millennia of learning. On the one hand it’s highly original, abstract and creative, while on the other, it’s firmly rooted in history. It holds its doors wide open to change and progression which is perhaps why this city attracts so many people.

Some Of Our First Barcelona Subculture Escape Reviews

I had heard so many wicked things about Barcelona from all my bros and I knew it would be the perfect weekend trip. The Subculture tour showed me the side of Barcelona that memories are made of…
- Terry T. (Austin, USA)

There were so many sketchy people in Barcelona offering to “hook me up” with “coffee shops and clubs” that totally sketched me out. I was glad to find a credible source to get the introduction I was looking for in Barcelona.
- Frederico R. (Milan, Italy)

Even as a local I thought I had Barcelona all figured out.. But when my mate came to town and heard about this tour he asked me to come with. Thankfully I did because I found my new favourite club and burger spot I’ve come back to almost every day.
- James S. (London, England)

All About Barcelona

1Is Barcelona a safe place for tourists?

On the whole, yes, Barcelona is a very safe place. While the locals are very passionate people, they are not generally aggressive. A good example is they regularly protest about various social issues (famously for their independence from the rest of Spain) but protests are almost always peaceful with rarely any violence.

One problem Barcelona does have however, is pick-pockets and lots of them. They usually target tourists and in tourist areas. Two hotspots for pick-pockets are La Rambla and the beaches. It’s worth making sure you’re possessions are safe at all times, however. Don’t just rely on buttons and zips, always be aware of where your things are. Fortunately, again most pick-pockets are not violent.

If you catch them trying, they will quickly disappear (hopefully not with your things!). It’s really worth being vigilant as it would be a shame for your experience of Barcelona to be tainted by a few rotten apples.

2What’s the best way to get around in Barcelona?

Barcelona is a very well connected city. From the airport, you can either get into the city by bus, metro or taxi. Bus is the cheapest option (around €6). In the city itself, the easiest way to get around is walking. Most of the places you’ll need to get to are walk-able from each other. It’s also a great way to see the city.

If you need to go outside the centre (to Montjuïc, for example), the metro system is very cheap and easy to use. If you’re staying for a week or more, it’s worth getting the ‘T-10’ which gives you ten journeys for ten euros. Another great way to get around is cycling. There are lots of bicycle hire shops and the cost of hiring a bicycle for a day is very reasonable.

Finally, if you want a fun way of getting around, you can get a lift on a bicycle rickshaw. Most of them are down near the beach. It’s quite expensive (they charge by the passenger) but it’s worth doing once or twice for the experience.

3When is the most popular night to party in Barcelona?

It depends what you’re looking to do. Different venues are popular on different nights. This is a party city and there’s lots on every night of the week. Generally speaking, however, Saturday is the biggest night of all. Feel free to check out our wide-range of bars, clubs and discos where you can see which night has what you are looking to experience!

4What should I do for eating food in Barcelona?

You won’t have a problem finding good food in Barcelona. We have various recommendations ourselves. A good rule of thumb, however, if you’re running late for lunch or dinner and you’re not sure where to go, is not to be afraid of poking your heads into bars and smaller restaurants, off the beaten track. While La Rambla is a very popular place to eat, that doesn’t mean it has the best food (and certainly not the best prices!).

The more ‘local’ bars do some really great food. The food itself will generally be more true to the cuisine of Catalonia. Of course there are some restaurants which are popular tourist destinations for a reason but there are many which are only popular because of their location. Location is important but if you love food and you want to try the real thing then go for a wander, get lost and find great food!

If you’re looking to make something yourself, there’s a famous option in Barcelona. Forget McDonalds and KFC. You get those everywhere! Go to a supermarket. They have big ones where you can get better value for your money, as well as smaller corner shops (which are often 24 hours). You can buy an assortment of tapas: olive oil, bread, jamón, chorizo and cheese are a good start. Then find a nice spot such as Ciutadella Park and enjoy a delicious (and cheap!) meal in the sun.

5What are the laws on drinking and drugs in Barcelona?

Barcelona has similar drinking laws to most EU countries. You must be 18 years old to drink (it’s worth taking ID, if you’re lucky enough to have youthful looks). It is also illegal to drink alcohol outside after 11pm. There are private smoking associations where you can smoke various products that have been decriminalized and regulated. You must become a member first, however. You must be 21 years old and you will be asked for identification. Different associations have different rules and entry policies.

6Do I need to speak Spanish while in Barcelona?

Barcelona is a hugely international destination and, as such, most people speak English here, especially in shops, bars, restaurants etc. If you do speak Spanish (or Castellano, as it’s correctly called) this will be a big help and it’s naturally appreciated. If you know Catalan, you will be absolutely loved. Even if you only know a few words, use them! The locals will really appreciate it. An easy one to remember is ‘merci’ which means ‘thank you’, like in French.

If you only speak English don’t worry but it’s polite not to assume everyone understands. Learning a simple Castellano phrase such as ‘lo siento, no hablo Castellano’ (sorry, I don’t speak Castellano) is enough. Note we’re not just referring to ‘Spanish’ as ‘Castellano’ to be pedantic. As the official language of Barcelona is Catalan, referring to ‘Castellano’ as ‘Spanish’ can be quite insulting. The locals are used to tourists making this mistake but a little sensitivity and respect will not go unrewarded!

7Do I need to be aware of any social/cultural issues?

To avoid making any faux pas, it’s worth reading a little about Barcelona’s history. Until 1975, they were under General Franco’s dictatorship. This was a highly repressive regime in which the borders were shut (not allowing people in or out of the country). This is why Barcelona and Spain as a whole has remained very ‘Spanish’.

As with diversity in people, Spain has been playing catch-up with the rest of Europe industrially, technologically and in many other ways. Although Spain (and particularly Barcelona) is blossoming, Franco’s regime is still very much within living memory and this, tied with an historic desire for independence, has made their Catalan identity very important to them.

One tip, if you speak classic ‘Spanish’, is to refer to it as ‘Castellano’, to differentiate it from ‘Catalan’ (the native language to Barcelona and the rest of Catalonia). As always, however, if you’re friendly you shouldn’t have any problems.
