Barcelona Hen Weekend

Hi Everyone,


I was wondering if you could help me?


My best friend is having her hen weekend in Barcelona, I've never been before & I'm trying to organise the weekend for 8 of us...


Has anyone been before or have any suggestions?


Thanks

    Visiting the Sagrada Familia and Parc Guell are a must! Those are holiday-ey things to do rather then hen do, however. I went five years ago (for a holiday with two friends) and there was no shortage of bars, if you like drinking :D

    Hang on to your mobiles, and make sure they're SIM-locked. Especially up and down the Ramblas, where the pickpockets tend to operate.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Two places I always recommend people to go when in Barcelona, and they are both definitely hen do appropriate, especially the bar!

    Amazing tapas and atmosphere, and reasonably priced. Popular with tourists and locals, make sure you book.

    Shot bar, great laugh, small and very packed but really fun and a great pre-nightclub bar.

    There's a number of great clubs down on the beachfront.

    Evenings aside, make sure you see the Sagrada Familia and Park Guell. Me and my girlfriends did the open bus tour on the first day, a great way to get your bearings.

    The Nou Camp was amazing, but totally depends whether you're in to football or not.

    Oh and don't be too scared about the pickpockets. I felt very safe there, much moreso than I ever have in Paris.
