Barcelona enacts citywide pub crawl ban
Briefly

Barcelona has implemented a citywide ban on pub crawls, now enforced throughout the day. Initially, this ban was limited to the hours between 7:00 PM and 7:00 AM and was actively tested in districts such as Ciutat Vella and Eixample. Local officials report that this initiative aims to reduce the negative impact of rowdiness and drunken behavior linked to the city's nightlife. Organizers of pub crawls face fines of up to €900, and while participants are not directly fined, they risk penalties for disruptive behaviors, including street drinking and noise violations.
Barcelona has officially extended their so-called "pub crawl ban" to run all day, aimed at reducing drunkenness and rowdiness associated with party culture.
Organisers of pub crawls could face fines up to €900, also affecting promotions related to alcohol consumption and noise violations.
Previously enforced during nocturnal hours in specific districts, the ban has successfully reduced disruptions and is now applied citywide to improve residents' quality of life.
Participants in pub crawls are exempt from fines, but risks remain if they are caught drinking in the streets or causing disturbances.
