What's on in Barcelona,
all on one map

Who's behind it

Roam Barcelona was founded by Daniel, who has lived in Canada, Mexico, Spain, Portugal, Japan, France, Brazil, Paraguay, Peru and Vietnam, and has travelled to many more countries. These days he splits his time between Tokyo and Montreal, and he also runs Roam Tokyo and Roam Kyoto.

He's a very social person, and wherever he lives or visits he goes looking for the best events and places in town. Roam Barcelona does that looking for Barcelona and puts what it finds in one place.

What's on the site

Start with the map. Set your dates and it shows what's on while you're here, alongside the places worth a visit, each pin with how to get there, how long to allow and when to go.

Around the map sit neighbourhood guides for the areas you might stay in.

By the numbers

• 193 places on the map

A sister site

Roam Barcelona is a sister site of Roam Tokyo, Roam Kyoto, Roam Osaka, Roam Seoul, Roam Taipei, Roam Bangkok, Roam Montréal, Roam Paris, Roam CDMX, Roam Hong Kong, Roam Istanbul, Roam Lisboa, Roam London, Roam Madrid, Roam Porto, Roam Rio de Janeiro, Roam Singapore and Roam Toronto, which cover their cities the same way, with a map, neighbourhood guides and an events calendar. If your trip takes in more than one, you'll find the same layout on each.

How the site is made

Events and gigs are read from the organisers', venues' and official bodies' own pages, and every listing links back to the page it came from. Facts on a place page come from the place's own page or an official body, and a fact that can't be confirmed is left off. Photos are added only when they are Creative Commons photos of the actual place, credited to the photographer.

Open data

Many of the exhibitions and local events come from two public agendas. Contains information from the Agenda cultural dataset, Ajuntament de Barcelona, Open Data BCN, licensed under CC BY 4.0. Contains information from the Agenda cultural de Catalunya, Generalitat de Catalunya, under the Llicència oberta d'ús d'informació - Catalunya.

Hotel recommendations

When you book a hotel through Roam Barcelona, the site may earn a small commission through Stay22. It doesn't change what's on the map or which areas the guides suggest.
