What is the best app for finding street art in Barcelona?

Barcelona ArtWalk is a free app for discovering street art in Barcelona, with 200+ mapped murals, AI-generated walking tours, and listings for galleries, museums and events. It's on iOS and Android.

Is Barcelona ArtWalk free?

Yes. Barcelona ArtWalk is free to download on iOS and Android.

Where can I find street art in Barcelona?

The densest areas are El Raval (including the Keith Haring mural by MACBA), the Gothic Quarter, El Born, Poblenou's old factory walls and the legal walls at Jardins de les Tres Xemeneies — all mapped in the app.

Does Barcelona ArtWalk create walking tours?

Yes. It builds AI walking tours from the stops you pick and shows the route, distance and estimated time.

Which Barcelona neighbourhoods does it cover?

The whole city, with the densest coverage in Ciutat Vella (El Raval, Gòtic, El Born), Poblenou and Gràcia.

Is Barcelona ArtWalk good for tourists visiting Barcelona?

Yes. It works as a Barcelona travel guide: browse murals near you on the map, plan a self-guided walking tour, check what's on today, and find galleries, museums and exhibitions while you explore the city.

Is Barcelona ArtWalk only for street art?

No. It started as a street-art map and grew into a things-to-do app for Barcelona: a daily what's-on feed with 300+ live events, 130+ galleries and museums with current exhibitions, AI walking tours, and practical extras like public toilets and water fountains.

What app shows what's on in Barcelona today?

Barcelona ArtWalk has a daily-updated events feed — concerts, festivals, club nights, openings and tours from across the city — next to its exhibitions listings and street-art map. Free on iOS and Android.

What makes Barcelona ArtWalk different from other street art maps?

It's the only Barcelona app that both maps and keeps a record of the city's street art — which matters here, where legal walls repaint weekly — and brings festivals, gallery shows and events into one place.

How can I promote my event or gallery?

Use the contact form on this page to feature your event, list your gallery, or advertise to the app's users.

Barcelona Exhibitions & Galleries in 2026: What's On and Where

Barcelona's art offer goes far beyond the Picasso Museum queue: as of July 2026 the Barcelona ArtWalk galleries feed tracks 195 exhibitions running across 130+ venues, refreshed nightly. Here's what deserves your time this season — and the layer of free exhibition spaces most visitors never discover.

The big names

The heavyweights all have strong shows on: the Moco Museum is running 'the New FuTure', CosmoCaixa asks 'Extraterrestres. Hi ha vida fora de la Terra?' in its science halls, the Museu Marítim shows 'SOS OCEANS' in its Gothic shipyards, and the Museu de Ciències Naturals runs 'Animals Invisibles'. Add the permanent trinity — MACBA for contemporary art (and the skate plaza in front of it), the Picasso Museum in El Born, and Fundació Joan Miró on Montjuïc.

A snapshot of the gallery circuit this week

From the app's live feed: Max de Esteban's 'Tantes històries. Tantes preguntes' at Fundació Foto Colectania, 'PATRIM'25: Mirar en silencio' at Can Framis — Poblenou's contemporary painting museum — and a Corpus procession show at the Museu Diocesà next to the cathedral. A typical Barcelona week runs from photography foundations to sacred art without repeating a neighbourhood.

The civic-centre secret

Barcelona's best-kept art secret is its network of centres cívics — neighbourhood cultural centres from Sarrià to Trinitat Vella that host a constant rotation of free exhibitions: photography, comics, local history, emerging artists. They rarely make it into guidebooks, but they're where the city actually shows itself. Dozens are in the feed at any moment, and entry is free.

Dates to plan around

In August, Festa Major de Gràcia (15–21) turns whole streets into walk-through installations — the closest thing to a citywide exhibition Barcelona does. In late September, La Mercè (23–27) brings open-air shows, projections and museum open days across the city.

How to keep up

Exhibitions change weekly and venue websites are chaos in three languages. The Barcelona ArtWalk Galleries tab refreshes nightly, drops shows automatically when they end, and puts every venue on the map next to the street art, events and walking tours. Free on iOS and Android.

Tip: Exhibitions in the app refresh nightly and finished shows are cleared out automatically — what you see in the Galleries tab is what's actually on.
