Visit Moco Museum Barcelona for a self-guided look at Banksy, Warhol, Haring, Basquiat, Kusama, Hirst, digital art, and more. Your ticket covers every exhibition and lets you explore at your own pace inside the historic Palau Cervelló. Plan about an hour for a focused visit, longer if you read every display.
“Loved it… it’s not huge but there are some great pieces & artists”
At Barcelona’s Moco Museum, explore modern, contemporary, street, pop, and digital art by Banksy, Warhol, Basquiat, Kusama, KAWS, Dalí, and more. Current displays include Robbie Williams’ Confessions of a Crowded Mind and digital installations. Admission costs $19.30, with an optional audio guide.
“Viator sold us tickets for 8pm, we arrived and they were closing. They close at 8 pm so not sure why Viator didn’t know that.”
At Espacio Trafalgar, you’ll explore more than 150 recreated Banksy works from England, France, Italy, Ukraine, the United States, and Palestine. The self-guided exhibition spans three levels, with explanations in English, Spanish, Italian, and Catalan, plus multimedia displays and a gift shop.
“A great experience and worth the visit. The gift shop was also worthwhile”
Ride from Carrer dels Escudellers through Barcelona’s beach corridor to post-industrial Poblenou, where guide Mike or Michael explains graffiti, street art, local politics, and neighborhood history. Bikes, helmets, and a local guide are included. The easy ride lasts about 2 to 3 hours.
“Avec notre guide américain, nous avons passé 3heures à le suivre sur les traces des graffeurs de passage ou vivant à Barcelone. Il était passioné et plein d'humour. le soleil était de la partie ce qui rajoute forcement à la visite. longer le front de mer, suivre le guide sans se préoccuper d'autre chose, un plaisir d'abandon très agréable. Le rapport qualité/prix est sans nul égal sur cette activité, je recommande”
Step into Madrid’s Banksy Museum for more than 170 life-size reproductions of the artist’s best-known murals. You’ll see works tied to Palestine, Ukraine, refugees, France, the United States, and consumer culture. Book a guided option if you want extra context, with Claudia among the guides available.
“Fantastic museum, great chance to get up close and personal to Banksy's work and informative as to where the originals were created along with the date. Well worth a visit.”
Walk through Lavapiés, Embajadores, and La Latina with an English-speaking local street artist such as Julien, Esther, or Santiago. See La Tabacalera, Esta es una Plaza, Plaza del Sombrerete, and Madrid’s largest central mural while learning how art shapes neighborhood life.
“Such a great tour through Lavapies and the glorious street art of the neighbourhood. Julien was full of knowledge about the artists, the place street art and graffiti have played in the culture of Madrid, and full of joy and humour throughout the tour. We were a small group and there was time for questions and discussions. Highly recommend!”
Walk through Madrid’s Lavapiés district with a local guide and see murals, stencils, artist studios, and community art spaces. The route includes La Tabacalera, Esta es Una Plaza, and other street art sites, with guides such as Santi, Julia, and local working artists leading small groups of up to 13 people.
“Tornando indietro non so se lo rifarei. Bello il quartiere Lavapiés, ma il tour in sé poco coinvolgente. Magari solo per l'organizzazione in sé. La guida era uno street artist quindi sicuramente, facendo parte di quel mondo, avrà conosciuto aneddoti e informazioni interessanti. Però ci vorrebbe un modo per permettere a tutti di sentire le spiegazioni senza stare a ridosso della guida. Forse colpa mia, probabilmente mi sono persa degli aneddoti interessanti ma se devo guardarmi intorno, non posso stare appiccicata alla guida per non perdermi le sue parole.”
Walk through El Raval, the Gothic Quarter, El Poble Sec, and Tres Xemeneies with an artist or art historian guide. Learn how Barcelona’s street art developed, spot works most people miss, and visit BienCuadrado, a working studio and gallery where you can meet artists and see their methods.
“Mit dem Fahrrad den Strand und die bunten Straßen zu erkunden, gab uns eine neue Perspektive auf Barcelona. Danke an Mike für die Einblicke in Barcelonas Streetart- und Graffitiszene.”
Spend about 1 to 1.5 hours at Museo Banksy Madrid, a permanent exhibition of the elusive British artist’s major works, techniques, and social themes. The admission ticket suits visitors who want a focused art stop rather than a full-day museum visit. Last entry is 19:15, or 20:15 on Thursdays.
“This museum is beautifully curated. The concrete canvas was such a phenomenal experience. Have visited 3 Banksy museums and this one is by far my favorite”
Walk from Jardins Talía to MACBA with an English-speaking guide who explains Raval’s murals, paste-ups, artists, and social history. Guides such as Juan and Olga bring personal insight, while the small group keeps the walk informal. You’ll also stop at the Tres Chemineas skate spot.
“it never happened!!! it got rescheduled by an SMS and then cancelled completely an hour before!!!! i want my money back now please.”
Spend two hours walking Raval with a specialist guide such as Juan, Anais, Jeanne, or Sylvia. See local murals, graffiti styles, Arnau Gallery, Tres Chimeneas skate spot, and MACBA’s exterior. The tour runs in English, French, or Spanish and suits art lovers who want a less polished side of Barcelona.
“Jeanne was a fantastic tour guide and really connected with us! I would recommend het to all!”
Ride a handmade bamboo bicycle from central Barcelona to Poblenou, where your private guide points out major stencil and spray-painted walls. Guides such as Flo, Cinthia, JP, and Anas have been praised for their local insight, friendly manner, and willingness to stop for photos.
“Unser Guide (JP) war einfach wunderbar!!!!! So viele extra Informationen zu den Einzelnen street art events,toll! Sehr aufmerksam uns gegenüber und bereit auch zum 100x für ein Photo anzuhalten Super Erlebnis !! jeden Cent wert , Räder sind klasse Immer gerne wieder!!!”
Join local street artist Juan for a private, hands-on workshop near Poble Sec. Walk along Paral·lel, learn how Barcelona’s street art developed, then use spray paint to help create a mural at Jardins de les Tres Xemeneies. Materials and instruction are included.
“This activity was the highlight of our trip. We loved that it was a hands-on experience creating street art. Juan was very informative as we made our brief walk to the art park. We learned about several murals in the city, and about the history of graffiti in general. He is a true artist and not just someone they hire to teach a few skills. He helped us bring a real piece of work to the streets of Barcelona! I highly recommend this trip if you love to create. My two teen boys (15, 16) truly had a great time. I loved that we weren’t standing in line with all…”
Ride through Valencia’s El Carmen with guides such as Atty, David, or Antonio, stopping for murals, political symbols, and hidden works by Escif, David de Limón, Julieta XLF, and Hyuro. Choose a bike, e-bike, or e-step option when booking, with plenty of time for photos and discussion.
“Super kurzweilige Tour durch das Viertel El Carmen mit vielen interessanten Streetart Künstlern.”
Walk from Plaça Universitat through La Rambla, Carrer dels Tallers, Plaça de Castella, and the Gothic Quarter while learning how Barcelona’s street artists work. Guides such as Damil, Leo, and Loci have led the tour, which ends with gallery access at Base Elements and may include Artevistas.
“Thank you very much for such a beautiful and special tour! I got to know a new and unknown side of Barcelona. The tour was full of exciting street art and hidden spots of the city. I will certainly recommend this tour to friends traveling to Barcelona!”
