10 Things to Do in Barcelona This Halloween (2025)
Halloween Plans in Barcelona 2025 — Dates & Where to Buy Tickets
Looking for Halloween options in Barcelona? Here are 10 practical, easy-to-organize plans — from public events to ideas you can do with neighbours. At the end we explain how Cotown can help with discounts and by organising workshops or activities in your building.
💀 Heads up: in Barcelona, it’s not just about Halloween. It’s also time for La Castanyada, a Catalan tradition that fills the streets with stalls selling roasted chestnuts, sweet potatoes, and panellets. If you spot one, you know what to do — grab a paper cone, get some chestnuts, and enjoy the autumn vibe with your roomies.
Casa Batlló — evening visits and shows
Casa Batlló usually runs evening sessions with special lighting and programmed activities throughout October and into early November. Check the official calendar to confirm exact dates and times.
Poble Espanyol — themed passages and experiences
Poble Espanyol stages a Halloween programme every year with themed passages and activities for different audiences, typically from mid/late October through the All Saints long weekend. Check the official schedule before you go.
Zombie Walk in Sitges — a collective parade
The classic Sitges Zombie Walk, linked to the Sitges Film Festival, usually takes place around mid-October and draws thousands of costumed participants. It’s ideal if you’re after a participatory, festival-style plan.
Rooftops and terrace parties — plans with a view
Many hotels and rooftops host Halloween-themed events with DJs and cocktails. Tickets and capacities vary by event, so it’s advisable to book in advance. Ticket platforms list the annual options.
Apolo and Razzmatazz — themed club nights
Barcelona’s major venues often program special Halloween nights on October 31st with multiple rooms and musical styles. Check the venues’ official pages to buy tickets and review entry policies.
Night guided tours: Montjuïc Cemetery
Several guided routes and activities offer a historical and storytelling approach through Montjuïc; a quieter, different alternative to the usual party scene.
Themed escape rooms
Well-produced horror escape rooms for small groups. Cotown has discounts at some centres; if you’re interested we can form groups and handle the booking.
Outdoor horror cinema
October often features outdoor screenings of horror classics — a flexible option for groups with blankets and popcorn.
Día de Muertos — cultural alternatives
Gastronomic and cultural events linked to Día de Muertos (offerings, special menus, live music) take place in various venues: a good option if you prefer a cultural rather than purely scary plan.
At-home or community-space plan
Organise a group screening, a DIY makeup workshop or a costume contest in a common room — low cost and high participation.
How Cotown can help
If you want to organise any of these plans among residents (a workshop, dinner, or an escape-room outing with discounts), we can handle the logistics: supplier contact, rate negotiation, space reservation and communications. Tell us your preferred date and estimated number of participants and we’ll take care of the rest.
