What you'll see and do
Passeig de Lluis Companys
Built for the Universal Exposition in 1888, the Arc de Triomf stood at the head of the avenue that led to the main entrance of the fair, in Parc de la Ciutadella. The redbrick monument, built in the Neo-Mudéjar style, reflected the eclectic, decorative taste so typical of Catalan Art Nouveau in vogue at that time.

We are in the heart of the Sant Pere neighborhood, which, together with Santa Caterina, was a major center of commercial and textile activity from its origins. During the 19th century, the area was filled with silk and cotton factories and printing workshops, with more than 280 textile businesses operating between the two neighborhoods. Carrer del Portal Nou has ancient origins, as it once served as an entrance to the city from an old Roman road coming from France. In the 15th and 16th centuries, the street was lined with porticoes that supported commercial life, although most were demolished in the early 19th century. Today, only a few remain. The area, near Barcelona’s medieval walls, is also surrounded by local legends, with reports of mysterious apparitions seen late at night.

Monasterio de Sant Pere de les Puel.les
Sant Pere Square was once home to the Monastery of Sant Pere de les Puel·les, founded before the first millennium as a refuge for noble nuns. Repeatedly destroyed by invasions, wars, and fires, the monastery was rebuilt many times and briefly enjoyed prosperity after its reconsecration in 1143. Eventually confiscated and used as a prison, the nuns were forced to leave permanently. Today, the site is surrounded by legends of ghostly nuns said to haunt the square, unable to rest after centuries of suffering.

This narrow, picturesque street in the Born district was once known for selling real snow, long before refrigerators existed. People came here to buy snow used to cool drinks, preserve food, or make ice cream.
Pass by without stopping
A historic, mysterious corner where the ancient Roman Road connected Barcelona to Europe, passing through lively streets and centered around the once-famous, now darkly reputed Hostal Flor de Lliri.
Pass by without stopping
In Barcelona’s Ribera district, Plaça d’En Marcús is named after Bernat Marcús, a wealthy 12th-century benefactor who funded charity works, including a chapel and hospital for the poor and pilgrims.

Carrer de Montcada
A key historic spot in Barcelona, now a street of galleries and museums, was originally the 11th-century coastal path Camí del Born in the undefined Vilanova del Mar area, whose lands were later granted to influential citizens by Count Ramon Berenguer IV.
Pass by without stopping
Passeig del Born
Passeig del Born, a historic and lively Barcelona spot, was once home to medieval jousts but later became a dark site linked to the Inquisition, hiding eerie legends beneath its charming facade.
Pass by without stopping
Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar
Built between 1329 and 1384, the Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar is a stunning example of Catalan Gothic, funded and built by Ribera’s residents, especially the bastaixos—workers who carried heavy stones from Montjuïc over long distances. Unlike Barcelona’s Cathedral, it belonged to the people, giving it special significance.

very interesting tour
We loved the tour. It was interesting to hear about Barcelona's past and see some of the not so frequented corners of this medieval city at night. The tour guide was also very friendly

Barcelona Ghost Night Walking Tour
It was a wonderful tour. Stories were very entertaining. Only thing that would have made it perfect would be if guide returned us to the point we started from (arc de truimf)
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed. In description tour we specified the finish of the tour. Hope you could reach the starting point without troubles.

It's a con
I wish me and my partner could write a review but unfortunately we didn't even get to do it, let me start by saying we waited 30 minutes in the place it said we had to meet to see no one anywhere with a sign or even a person dressed in any way that would give us a idea. Then we rang the numbers we where given 10 times to see what was happening and where the meeting place was (if it had changed) the number went straight to voice mail. If I was you don't buy this tour as its a complete con and if we had known we wouldn't have booked it. No one showed up, no one tryed to ring us back and we are very unhappy and would love all our money back but guess what u have to cancel 20 something hours defore to get a full refund what a complete con. DO NOT BOOK 😡😡😡
Response from the operator: Hello B9787KIstephanies, We want to apologize. That day our guide had a personal problem and she didn't get on time to the start of the tour. She wasn't able to contact us neither. So we were'nt able to call all our guests or find a quickly solution. We are so sorry about all the troubles we might caused you. We already refund the total amount but if you, your family or your friends will come again to Barcelona we will so happy to offer you any of our tour for free. We know it's difficult to change a bad experience, but we always work trying to do the best for our costumers.

A Unique Way to Tour the City
I love ghost tours and try to find one in every city I am visiting! This was a wonderful way to see the sights and learn some of the legends of Barcelona. Our tour guide was an AMAZING and very animated story teller. I was on the English/Spanish tour and her transition between the two languages made the stories even more captivating. We had a large group, which was fine for the most part, but would have preferred a group . of maybe 8 max.
Response from the operator: Hello Jenna, Thank you for your review. We are happy you enjoyed the tour.

Why this scores 51
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Barcelona: El Born Ghost Walking Tour.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Barcelona.
How much does Barcelona: El Born Ghost Walking Tour. cost?
+
Prices start at $18 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Barcelona usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Barcelona: El Born Ghost Walking Tour. take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Barcelona is not rushed.
Is Barcelona: El Born Ghost Walking Tour. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 54 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Barcelona, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Barcelona: El Born Ghost Walking Tour.?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Barcelona: El Born Ghost Walking Tour. suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Barcelona: El Born Ghost Walking Tour.?
+
Around 19 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Barcelona can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Barcelona and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Barcelona: El Born Ghost Walking Tour. start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Barcelona within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Barcelona?
+
Barcelona's Gaudí sites are capacity-limited and the official timed tickets go first, so most of the market is resellers with a guide attached. We weight those heavily on whether the guide is an architecture specialist. Beyond Gaudí, the tapas crawls in Gràcia and the Montserrat day trips carry the highest rankings in the city. On Outty we rank every Barcelona experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Gràcia Tapas and Vermouth Crawl, Costa Brava Tour: Kayak, Snorkel & Cliff Jump from Barcelona, Girona & Dali Museum Small Group Tour with Pick-up from Barcelona. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Barcelona?
+
May, June, September and October. Sagrada Família light is best mid-morning. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Barcelona?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
