Anybody been to Barcelona??????????

I am considering going to Barcelona for the weekend. I am curious if anybody has any experience with using reus airport and what are the prices and times in getting from there to Barcelona?? Also what is the cheapest way to get port aventura day tickets...on my return day i was thinking about getting the train from barcelona to port aventura early in the morning then staying there all day as my flight home from reus would not be untill 9pm, and i know it is very close to the airport. Also im interested in cheap but fun things to do in Barcelona? What is the nightlife like? We are both young...and looking for a long night out, it would be a thursday and friday night we would be there. Also are the city tours good?

Thanks

Bus info from Reus Airport is here

My unnofficial ryanair guide has lots of info on Reus Airport,Barcelona,Salou + Costa Dorada

If you're up for a laugh look out for the archery bar, I think it's called something like L'Arquer, I'm sure tourist info would know where to find it. We couldnt believe a place that lets you drink alcohol and play bows and arrows as well!

i remember there being a company which tours the whole city throughout the day. it runs a blue and red line route and you can hop on and off all day.it leaves from the sguare at the top of the ramblas

highly recommended!

Thanks...yes i think the bus trip is the way forward! Does anybody know much about nightlife in Barcelona...any tips, or reccommendations. We are in our early 20s and up for partying hard, and would want to be taking in many places in one night! Also what about costs from reus airport to Barcelona and the train to Port Aventura from Barcelona...anybody know???????????????????

Thanks

Can you get me a Barcelona footie shirt with "Henry" on the back while you're there?

For night life head down to the port/mariner there's lots of clubs down there and music to suit all tastes.

Barcelona is my favourite city so much to see and do.

Best club IMO is- https://www.shoko.biz

It's probably the most well known club in Barca- Japanese theme. Open as restaurant with Japanese/Sushi menu from about 7pm-Midnight then at Midnight the club opens until 3am on Thurs/Fri/Sat. You need to queue up by 12.30am to get in before 1am as after that it is VIP entry only- there is usually a pretty big queue i'm afraid! Have a look at the website.

To get there ask for a taxi to Port Olympic (the taxi rank is right outside) or take the metro (line 4) to the Port Olympic stop and walk towards the beach.

I would find somewhere to eat first on the harbour as Shoko is pretty expensive to eat and just go for the clubbing later. Beer/Wine is about 6 euros in the club- cocktails up to about 10 euros (!).

Go to the grand palace in the evening for a stunning (free) fountain display set to music with coloured lights, etc.

It is far better than it sounds and is a great way to spend an hour.

This sounds like a plan aswell......something to do after dinner and before we go out...great idea!!! Has anybody else been to this fountain...the plan is to do as much here as possibile in 1 day/night.

Im really happy with the posts im getting, i have never been to bacelona so tips and advice like this is great.

Muchos Gracias
