Plans for New Year’s Eve in Barcelona
Barcelona makes it very easy to make plans. For this reason, we have prepared a small guide at LOCK & enjoy! with the best plans, to make it even easier for you.
Official New Year’s Eve Party
Every year there is an official New Year’s Eve party next to the Montjuic fountain, on Avenida María Cristina. Around 9:30 PM, a party begins that is designed for all audiences, both adults and children.
At 10:00 PM, the show at the Magic Fountain of Montjuic begins, where lights, music and water are the real stars of the moment. In addition, this year the fountain is back in operation after being closed due to the drought. For us, LOCK & enjoy!, the real show begins at 11:00 PM with the fireworks, a symbol to say goodbye to the year. And, as it could not be otherwise, at 12:00 AM sharp, the twelve chimes take place. The entire avenue is filled with people to welcome the new year!
Despite the moderate cold in Barcelona at this time, welcoming the new year with thousands of people around you in the street is an unforgettable moment. To give you an idea, in 2024 there were a total of 80,000 attendees at this celebration.
We would like to recommend that once you have eaten the grapes, wait some time before taking the Barcelona Metro, as the crowds are very considerable.
Nightclubs, discos and New Year’s Eve parties
Barcelona is one of the best cities in the world for nightlife. For this reason, the vast majority of these types of venues and discos organize parties on New Year’s Eve to welcome the new year as it deserves.
The Les Enfants Brillants disco already has everything prepared for that night. The electro, techno, house and underground music will set the rhythm for New Year’s Eve at Les Enfants Brillants. The hours are from 11:59 PM to 7:00 AM and admission costs €18.
At the Hotel SLS Barcelona, a special party is held for lovers of 80’s, 90’s and 00’s music. The Throwback brand is back with its legendary New Year’s Eve party and, in addition, with the newly renovated hotel. Get ready to travel back in time with the great anthems and songs that marked an entire generation!
Very close to Montjuic, more specifically in Poble Espanyol, one of the most spectacular New Year’s Eve parties in the city is held. It is held in an open-air cultural venue. There are several rooms and spaces with different musical styles (pop international, techno, reggaeton, etc.). ¡Buy your ticket now before they sell out!
Can you imagine going to a New Year’s Eve party without fear of losing your belongings or having them stolen? Near Poble Espanyol you have our lockers in Sants. If you sleep in the city, reserve your locker for a day, although you can also do it for hours if you prefer.
New Year’s Eve Gala at Tablao Flamenco Cordobés
The Tablao Flamenco Cordobés is the historical tablao of Barcelona par excellence, since it opened its doors in 1970. Every week there are intimate and authentic shows of flamenco singing, playing and dancing.
On New Year’s Eve they organize a great flamenco dinner and party for all those who want to spend this night in a different way. We’ll tell you the plan:
- At 9:15 PM the buffet dinner begins with unlimited drinks.
- Flamenco show and party with two drinks included (10:30 PM).
- And, finally, lucky grapes and party favors.
Romantic New Year’s Eve in a hotel
On the night of December 31, the vast majority of hotels in the city organize a New Year’s Eve dinner and, in some cases, a party in a room or stay. It is a plan more focused on couples or families.
For example, at the hotel H10 Ítaca they have prepared a pack for New Year’s Eve that includes a double room, with breakfast included the next day. In addition, a bottle of cava, the lucky grapes and free parking so you don’t have to worry about anything.
New Year’s Eve with the skyline of Barcelona as a backdrop? Welcome 2026 at the hotel Nobu. It is a luxury hotel with elegant rooms, a distinctive design and exceptional service. If you get a reservation for that night, the offer includes a 6-course tasting menu, champagne and DJs to liven up the rhythm on the most magical night of the year. It also includes breakfast in the restaurant and access to the Nobu Spa water circuit.
New Year’s Eve on Barceloneta beach
Many tourists and locals come to Barceloneta beach to welcome the New Year. As it is cold, it is not one of the most popular plans during this night, however, groups of people come to toast, dance and sing. In addition, there are numerous discos in the area that offer parties by the sea.
