See the 23–25 October calendar →
Barcelona embraces autumn with early Halloween scares and Castanyada preparations, while 48h Open House opens buildings usually seen only from outside. Choose a main event and stay in one area: Montjuïc for architecture and Halloween, the centre for stories and music, Sant Andreu and La Sagrera for panellets and heritage.
The 31st is still a week away, but these events are already running. Choose the intensity for your group’s ages and book the exact date.

Option one: Casa de l’Arquitectura in the morning and the Mies Pavilion in the afternoon, allowing travel from Eixample to Montjuïc. A quieter alternative: Casa Bloc and a walk around Sant Andreu.
Choose MíticoUp from 18:30 or a concert around 20:00–21:00. Los Fulanos start at 22:30 in the Gothic Quarter. Treat each as a main event rather than combining incompatible concert times.
Times, prices and availability can change. Confirm the session using each event’s link before booking or travelling.
