Barcelona may be a beautiful, romantic city by day, but when the sun goes down, something sinister lurks in the shadows. Are you brave enough to uncover it? Join a group of fellow spook enthusiasts and a local guide on a haunted walk of Barcelona, where you’ll discover a tortured past they won’t tell you in travel guides.


Wander through the narrow alleyways of the Gothic Quarter and El Born to tragic sites plagued by bombings, burnings, executions, and even murder. You can even follow the haunted route from your phone with an interactive Ghost Hunter Guide for a deeper dive into the ghosts we'll encounter, and stunning videos of real and imagined horrors.


Your guide will tell you terrifying true tales and local legends as you shiver your way through Plaça Sant Felip Neri, the Barcelona Cathedral, El Call, and Liceu Opera House. From the devil’s footprint at the Basilica de Santa Maria del Pi in the Gothic to the infamous “Exorcist’s House” in El Born, each step goes further into Barcelona’s paranormal past.

Meet your guide

Meet your guide in Placa Reial. Your guide will be holding a yellow “Carpe Diem Tours" sign.

The Soul of Vicereine Still Lingers

This stunning square may be lively after dark, but if you listen closely, you’ll hear cries of more than just drunkards on a night out. It harbours a story of heartbreak that lives in eternal (un)rest.

Spellbinding Soprano & Hellfire

The Liceu Opera House is a marvel of architectural beauty on the surface, but inside, it carries a dark secret. It’s plagued by a curse that comes to a head every twenty years, meaning that we’re long overdue for another terrible accident.

The Vampire of Raval

The gritty neighbourhood of Raval was never one for glamour, but the petty crimes that occur there today are no match for the bloodshed that once took place here. Here you’ll discover the sinister story of Barcelona’s most infamous serial killer.

Fatal Footprints, Deadly Pacts

Staring at this Gothic Basilica, you’ll uncover the story of its conception and how one fateful pact met a terrible end.

The Alchemist’s House

In the heart of El Call sits an underwhelming house and a legend of love, lies, and....poison.

Bishop’s Bridge

Barcelona’s most iconic bridge is home to a lurid legend that may leave you thinking twice the next time you pass beneath it.

13 Ways To Die

Nestled in a narrow corner of the Gothic Quarter, you’ll find a small figure encased in glass. Here you’ll learn how Barcelona’s patron saint met a tragic end after 12 failed attempts on her life.

Ring-a-Round-a-Rosie

Step into this humble square and stare at the scarred facade of the church that sits inside as you hear about the horrors of the Franco Regime and Spanish Civil War. Stand still enough, and you just might hear the whispers of spirits echoing from the walls.

Stone Cold Faces

Behind the Barcelona Cathedral, you’ll find stone creatures decorated in stone, said to ward off the energy of vengeful spirits, but if you take a closer look, you’ll realise that some aren’t quite like the others...

Even The Innocent Get Axed

The grand King’s Square is the perfect place for photo ops, but once you learn about the horrors that happened beneath your feet, you might never want to pull out a camera again. As a former execution site during the Spanish Inquisition, this place is no stranger to torture and bloodshed; you’ll hear all about it whether you want to or not.

Faces Of Pleasure

Unlike gargoyles that stare into the night, these stone faces nod to Barcelona’s scandalous past. When you see one, you know that fun is just around the corner.

Stanzas For Salvation

This seemingly unsuspecting apartment building was home to a Catalan poet with a penchant for the paranormal, exorcising his demons on more than just the page.

This Bride Vows To Scream

The beautiful Basilica de Santa Maria del Mar has hosted many weddings, but sometimes the phrase, “Till death do us part,” is laced with something sinister. Hear a bride whose scream can be heard across the neighbourhood to this very day.

Five Stars, Five Courses

At the foot of Passeig del Born, you’ll hear an all too familiar story. Just ten minutes up the road, hunger for money and success led to murder, paving the way for this tasty legend to be passed down for centuries.
