El Bosc de les Fades: Enchanted Forest Bar Near the Wax Museum

About El Bosc de les Fades: Barcelona’s Hidden Forest of Fairies

Tucked behind the Barcelona Wax Museum, just off the lively Las Ramblas, lies a hidden gem that feels plucked from the pages of a fairytale. El Bosc de les Fades—the Forest of Fairies—is a whimsical theme bar where fantasy and reality blur. You don’t need a museum ticket to enter; simply follow the narrow alleyway called Passatge de la Banca and step into an enchanted woodland tucked in the heart of the city.

Inside, you’ll wander beneath twinkling stars and leafy branches, past misty waterfalls, wooden bridges, and glowing fairies. The air hums with the sounds of owls and crickets, and every so often, the lights dim as thunder rolls and rain falls—casting a spell that delights children and surprises adults. Hidden corners reveal surreal scenes: a levitating woman in a candlelit bedroom, a fairy bathing in a forest stream. It’s part café, part immersive fantasy, and entirely unforgettable.

Whether you're sipping tea with your little ones, enjoying a glass of wine with friends, or escaping into a magical moment alone, El Bosc de les Fades invites you to slow down, dream a little, and let your imagination roam. Prices are fair given the theatrical setting, and the experience is worth every enchanted euro.

It’s also a perfect spot for a first date—romantic, mysterious, and just quirky enough to spark conversation. The dim lighting, forest décor, and gentle soundtrack of rainfall and rustling leaves create a dreamy atmosphere that feels worlds away from the bustle outside. Whether you're sharing a slice of cake under fairy lights or exploring the hidden nooks together, this bar is designed to charm and connect.
