October in Barcelona 2025: Events You Can’t Miss
If you’re planning a trip to Barcelona in October, you’re in luck. This month the city is full of unique plans: from one of the biggest Oktoberfests in Spain, to the world’s most famous fantasy film festival, and even a weekend when more than 200 buildings open their doors for free.
Here’s your ultimate guide to what to do in Barcelona in October 2025 to enjoy the city like a local.
🍻 Oktoberfest Barcelona 2025: The city’s biggest toast
📍 Fira de Barcelona – Montjuïc
📅 October 2–19
Did you know that Barcelona hosts one of the largest Oktoberfests in Spain? For over ten days, the city turns into a Bavarian-style village with live music, giant beer mugs, contests, and an amazing atmosphere.
Travel tip: weekends get very crowded. If you arrive in Barcelona that same day, don’t carry your suitcase around. Leave it with Bags&Go and head straight to raise your glass. You’ll enjoy the party much more without dragging extra weight.
🎬 Sitges Festival 2025: Fantastic cinema by the Mediterranean
📍 Sitges (40 minutes by train from Barcelona)
📅 October 9–19
The Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival is the most important of its kind in the world. Here you’ll find premieres of films that later become blockbusters, Q&As with cult directors, and a city buzzing with movie fans.
Travel tip: many visitors stay in Barcelona and go to Sitges just for the day. If your flight or train leaves at night but you check out in the morning, Bags&Go can store your luggage and deliver it later. That way you can enjoy the festival completely hands-free.
🏛 48h Open House BCN: The city with open doors
📍 Across Barcelona
📅 October 25–26
Imagine being able to enter more than 200 iconic Barcelona buildings for free: private modernist houses, Torre Glòries from the inside, old factories turned into creative spaces, and architecture studios normally closed to the public.
The 48h Open House BCN is one of the most surprising cultural events of the year. Two full days to explore the city like never before.
Travel tip: this event means early starts and lots of walking. Begin your day light, without carrying bags, and put all your energy into discovering unique buildings.
