    Overview

    Embark on a haunted walking tour of Barcelona's Gothic Quarter and El Born and hear true tales and local lore from a guide.

    You'll see some of Barcelona's most iconic sites in a different light and uncover sinister stories that the average walking tour skips. The best part? You can follow the paranormal route from your phone with an interactive Ghost Hunter Pack, equipped with visual representations of the spirits you'll encounter. From the cursed Liceu Opera House to the infamous Exorcist's House in El Born, you'll visit sites plagued by bombings, executions, and murder, each step pulling you deeper into Barcelona's paranormal past. Step into Plaça Sant Felip Neri and see the scarred church façade, stare at the stone creatures behind Barcelona's Cathedral, and stand in the eye of the Inquisition at Plaça del Rei.

    When the tour's over, the stories are sure to resurface in your dreams, or your nightmares, and you'll receive a Certificate of Survival. Book now, if you dare.
