Barcelona

Surprising dramatised tours


The dramatised tours are an exciting option for a first encounter with Barcelona and its local culture. These types of tours are available in museums, historical buildings, iconic neighbourhoods in the city, and even natural parks. In addition, experiences that combine theatre with virtual or augmented reality are becoming increasingly common. Are you ready to enjoy the art of live performance?

Among monuments and historic streets

Did you know that it's possible to explore iconic areas of Barcelona such as the Gothic Quarter, El Born, Las Ramblas, and El Raval in a medieval themed tour? Or even a horror themed tour, if you prefer thrills, joining a night-time tour of the cemeteries of Poblenou and Sarrià. In turn, buildings of great architectural and artistic value, such as the elegant Casa de la Seda (Silk House), with over 300 years of history, offer this theatrical format to share the secrets and anecdotes of their inhabitants through entertaining characters. As the Spanish writer, poet and playwright Federico García Lorca once said: "Theatre is poetry that leaps off the page to become human," so let the curtain rise!

Dramatised and accessible nature

The Barcelona Network of Natural Parks, has launched a unique initiative of dramatised tours in the heart of nature.  Protected areas such as Sant Llorenç del Munt i l'Obac, Montseny or Montnegre i el Corredor, among others, serve as the stage where theatrical language brings the natural, cultural, and ethnographic heritage to life. Furthermore, these tours are fully inclusive, facilitating access and participation for people with different types of disabilities.
