Barcelona is a city that rewards people who actually explore it, and a guided tour gets a group to places they wouldn’t find on their own. For hen groups the best options are the ones that feel like an experience rather than a lesson, which is why the Treasure Hunt and the Tapas Tour consistently come out ahead of standard walking tour formats.
The BCN Treasure Hunt sends teams around the city to complete challenges and follow clues between landmarks including Park Güell, the Sagrada Familia and the Gothic Quarter. It takes 2 to 3 hours and the competitive element between teams produces a lot of noise and a lot of photos. Groups of up to 30 can take part by splitting into smaller teams.
The Tapas Tour is the alternative for groups that want to move at a slower pace. A local guide takes everyone through the Gothic Quarter and El Born, stopping at four or five venues to eat and drink, with explanations of the food and the neighbourhood as you go. It runs for about 3 hours and transitions naturally into an evening out.

Chosen by our Barcelona-based team after thousands of hen weekends
Barcelona has become Europe's top destination for hen weekends, and these ten activities are the reason why. Whether your group wants to sail the coast on a private catamaran, laugh through a nude life drawing class, or get the full VIP treatment with a Magic Mike dinner experience, Barcelona has the variety to keep every girl in the group happy. The Cocktail Masterclass and Tapas gives the group a chance to eat, drink and compete without leaving their seats, while the Beach Picnic and Tapas Tour cover the stylish, relaxed side of the city. For something more indulgent, the Party Bus and Butler in the Buff take care of the evening in style. BCN Events and Crawls has been organising Barcelona hen weekends for over a decade. Every activity on this list is tried, tested, and booked by hundreds of groups every year.
