About this guide
We have a blog about Barcelona's cultural life and the city's most fun places. We made a list of our favorite activities, from stand-up comedy to indie films and improvisation workshops. Great thing that you will be able to enjoy these things even if you don’t speak Spanish. We picked up places with a big expat community where tourists feel just as welcome as locals. Whether you are in the company of friends or alone, this guide promises evenings filled with laughter, challenges, and cultural enrichment.

Verdi Barcelona
🎥 Indie movie theaterBcn is live
This is an old-school movie theater in Gràcia. Here, they screen films in original languages with subtitles, which is quite rare in Spain. It is the place to go if you prefer movies in their original language rather than dubbed. Plus, if you don't speak Spanish, come here to watch British and American cinema. In one of the rooms, they usually show popular releases, but 4 others are dedicated to European and independent films. Come here to watch some artsy stuff from the film festivals. The schedule and tickets are on their website. Tickets cost around 7-8 Euros, standard for movie theaters in Barcelona.
