An afterwork is a good plan to improve the relationship with our co-workers. Outside office hours, worries are left behind and it’s time to discover another, more fun side of our colleagues, have a few laughs and strengthen friendships. Luckily in Barcelona we have many leisure and cultural options to celebrate a very special after-work activity. Discover them below and choose yours for your next get-together.

SENSAS Barcelona
SENSAS is a sensory adventure in which you will test your five senses through surprising and fun tests. A two-hour tour takes you through themed rooms where you will have to identify smells in complete darkness or dodge laser beams in the purest spy style, among other challenges.
An original proposal to share with office colleagues: here the key is to work as a team, communicate and discover hidden skills while you laugh together.
And the best thing is that each challenge overcome adds a grain of sand in solidarity: part of the profits go to AURA, an association that promotes the inclusion of people with functional diversity.
📍 Location: Carrer d’Entença, 91-93, Bajos 2
💸 Tickets: from 22 €. Tickets for groups here.
Paradox Museum
If you are looking for an original plan to disconnect after the office, Paradox Museum is a safe bet, especially if you go in a group. With more than 70 installations that play with perception and paradoxes, it is the ideal place to break the routine and share laughs with the team.
The interactive areas awaken the most creative and fun side of anyone (and there is no better antidote to stress than that). In addition, the photos and videos that you take as a souvenir promise to go viral on whatsapp of co-workers.
📍 Location: Pl. d’Urquinaona, 3
💸 Tickets: from 14 €.. Tickets for groups here.
Go to a concert
It may sound risky, but going to a concert as an afterwork plan can be more useful than it seems. Sharing musical tastes(or discovering them together) helps to connect with the team in a very natural way. Even if you don’t know the band playing in town, accompanying that person at work who is a fan can be a memorable experience.
In any venue there’s a bar, relaxed atmosphere and zero formalities, but the best part is that you can get to know your colleagues better… and maybe you’ll discover that you love the same band. That’s why concerts in the city have become one of the best afterwork plans to get out of the routine (and out of the typical bar).
A night of drinks and monologues
Have a nice drink in good company and have a few laughs with the best comedians of BCN Comedy Club (up to 6 per night!) Sounds good, doesn’t it? And laughter is often the best therapy to forget the worries generated by work.
📍 Location: Craft Barcelona. c/ del Paradís, 4
💸 Tickets: 12€ (entrance+ a drink)
Jungle Tag
Nothing like releasing adrenaline after work to recharge energies and release tensions. Jungle Tag is an obstacle course with mats, ropes and tunnels through which you will have to move as you can. Each participant wears an electronic bracelet that adds up points and marks the times in each challenge, so get ready to get (healthy) with your colleagues while you have a great time.
📍 Location: Sapakara Fun Parcs. Carrer del Silici, 9. (Cornellà de Llobregat)
💸 Tickets: from 13,50€.
The XR Sports of Alfa5
Sports are always a classic in group activities, but not everyone feels like (or has the energy) to sweat after an intense day. That’s why Alfa5 is the ideal plan: it combines physical play and technology with 9 XR Sports events that can be adjusted to everyone’s pace.
Soccer with a futuristic twist, immersive virtual reality laser tag, interactive rock climbing, a synthwave shooting range…. At Alfa5 you can play in a group or individually, as you like. But be warned: competing with your mates always adds an extra point of fun.
📍 Location: Carrer dels Almogàvers, 169
💸 Tickets: from 15€.
The “dinner of the senses”, with mentalism and illusionism show.
You can go to a good restaurant for dinner as an afterwork, but there is a much more original alternative: a “dinner of the senses”. It is not just sitting down to eat, but living a gastronomic experience where each dish is a game for the senses, with flavors, textures and presentations that surprise in every bite.
But the evening is not just about the menu: the experience includes illusionism and mentalism shows that will make you doubt what you see and think. And as if that were not enough, the event is held in a unique space: the impressive building of the Royal Academy of Medicine of Catalonia, which you will visit with a guide.
📍Location: Royal Academy of Medicine of Catalonia. Carrer del Carme, 47
💸 Tickets: 77,42€ per person
The Jury Experience
The Jury Experience is a different plan for those who are looking for something more than just sitting and watching a show. Here, the audience is not just a spectator: they are part of the trial and have the fate of the accused in their hands. You will have to listen carefully to the arguments of the defense, the evidence and the testimonies before issuing your final verdict.
Ideal for group afterworks: not only will you enjoy a live play, but also the experience is extended over drinks or dinner afterwards, discussing together what led you to declare the accused guilty or innocent.
📍 Location: Auditori l’Illa. Avinguda Diagonal, 547
💸 Tickets: from 25€.
Fantasy cocktail masterclass
Preparing cocktails in a group is one of those plans that always works: fun, relaxed and perfect to disconnect from work without getting too complicated. Unlike a cooking workshop (where it is easier for someone to end up making a mess), here everything flows following the instructions of a professional bartender, mixing ingredients and learning tricks to surprise at the next party. And the best part: at the end we will drink and toast with our creations!
📍Location: Jardinets de Gràcia. Carrer de Mozart, 4
💸 Tickets: 25€ per person
Cocktail workshop and boat tour
An alternative to the cocktail workshop plan is to celebrate it on the high seas. For two hours, you will not only learn how to prepare delicious cocktails from the hands of experts, but you will also enjoy unique views of Barcelona, which can only be admired from the water. An ideal plan to disconnect after work, combine learning and relaxation, and toast with the team in a totally different environment.
📍Location: Marina Vela Barcelona, Moll de Nord, berth 69. Passeig Joan de Borbó, 103
💸 Tickets: 119€ per person
Painting and vermouth: paint a picture with vermouth and pica pica
Vermut-Art is much more than a creative workshop: it is an experience to disconnect and let your imagination fly while enjoying a Las Vermudas vermouth and a delicious snack. Each participant will be able to paint their own picture, guided step by step by an expert teacher, with no previous knowledge required.
📍Location: Las Vermudas University. c/ de Viladomat, 107
💸 Tickets: 32€ per person.
