Meet like-minded people in Barcelona
On your own in Barcelona? Check in for the days you're there, say what you're open to, and other travellers and locals who chose to be seen can ask to join. They see your city, never your exact spot.
Barcelona combines beaches, Gaudí architecture, tapas and nightlife, making it one of Europe's most popular solo travel destinations. The vibe is social and late-night, with dinners starting around 9pm and bars buzzing until the early hours. Travellers gather in El Born, the Gothic Quarter, Gràcia and Barceloneta beach.
Meeting people in Barcelona: what works
- Stay in the Gothic Quarter, El Born or Gràcia, where social hostels and bars make meeting people easy.
- Join a free walking tour of the Gothic Quarter or a tapas tour to meet other travellers.
- Watch the sunset with locals from the Bunkers del Carmel or Montjuïc.
- Join a beach volleyball game or a run along the seafront at Barceloneta.
Stay safe
Barcelona has some of Europe's busiest pickpockets, especially on La Rambla, the metro and the beach, so never leave bags unattended and keep phones off café tables.
Meet in public places, tell a friend where you’re going, and never send money to someone you met online.
