The Bonus Cultura allows you to claim up to 60 euros in Barcelona in three rounds
The Bonus Cultura is back with more than 55,000 vouchers worth 20 euros each and a municipal budget of 1.5 million. Each person can request one in each of the three rounds and collect up to 60 euros for culture.
A voucher can cover a full purchase or be split across several transactions. If the amount spent exceeds 20 euros, the user pays the difference.
The Ayuntamiento de Barcelona is allocating 1.5 million euros to this edition of Bonus Cultura, which will issue more than 55,000 vouchers to spend on culture in the city.
Three rounds to reach 60 euros
Each person can request a 20-euro voucher in each period, up to a maximum of 60 euros. The first round is open from Wednesday, 4 November 2026 to 10 January 2027.
The second will run from 11 January to 25 April 2027. The third, from 26 April to 31 July 2027.
Vouchers cannot be accumulated: each one expires at the end of its corresponding period. They are not renewed automatically, so you need to request a new one in each round.
Who can apply and how to activate it
Anyone over 18 years old with a DNI or NIE can apply. You do not need to be registered or live in Barcelona, although the balance can only be spent in cultural venues and establishments in the city.
The process is done on the Bonus Cultura website: you need to register with your personal details and activate your profile along with the digital wallet to receive the 20 euros.
Barcelona’s cultural life also includes international events, such as the gathering at the Museu Marítim.
Tickets and books with different conditions
The balance can be used to buy online tickets for performing arts or cinema sessions through the sales channels of participating venues.
To buy books, you need to choose a participating bookshop from the online catalogue and generate a digital voucher with a QR code. This is presented in person when paying and is only accepted for books in Catalan.
