At Speakeasy BCN, we go beyond delivering top-notch education
We have a really vibrant atmosphere at Speakeasy BCN, where you get much more than just a great education. As an integral part of our immersive learning program, we offer our students a dynamic activities lineup. We work hard to ensure our students get an authentic local experience, helping them access not only Barcelona’s must-see sights but also the hidden, non-touristic gems. From social gatherings and sporty adventures to parties, excursions, and cultural events, there is something for everyone. Our dedicated Activities Coordinators support students every step of the way by managing logistics, making sure everyone feels comfortable, and helping them join in so their only focus is to enjoy the experience and connect with other international adult learners outside the classroom.
Below, you can watch some videos of our Speakeasy BCN excursions and activities in the Shorts section of our YouTube channel. Check out our channel for even more!
Mixing culture with social and exciting activities, there’s always something for everyone to enjoy
Dive into a mix of culture and fun with our array of activities that cater to everyone's interests. We make sure to keep things varied, offering a variety of different options each week.
You can get to know your classmates after class with tapas, parties on rooftops, catch Barcelona FC games at Camp Nou, explore the city on bikes, or join in on beach volleyball and yoga in the park. For those into food and drinks, we've got cooking classes and vineyard tours. Feeling adventurous? Hop on a catamaran, discover Gaudi's creations, or join weekend trips to places like the Costa Brava, Sitges, Madrid, Zaragoza, Valencia, France, and Andorra.
There's always something happening, making your time here not just about learning, but also about soaking up the local culture and having a good time in Barcelona.

The 6-hours a week Evening Course helped me get my Spanish from a very basic level to upper intermediate in less than 6 months. During the classes we use a variety of different learning techniques in a small group of students and the teacher has been great, facilitating an interactive experience. Next to a full-time study or job it is demanding - but rewarding, fun and definitely worth it!
