And the fact is that in the Catalan capital there is fun for everyone: lovers of strong emotions, those seeking tranquility, children, adults … Of course, it is also a perfect city for lovers of the night and partying.
You may not know it, but Barcelona is a reference city in the international electronic scene, dancing to the rhythm of the best DJs. Of course, there are proposals for all tastes: for lovers of jazz, rock, Latin rhythms, pop … In fact, we could say that Barcelona’s nightlife is divided into zones with similar characteristics. Today at Vuela Viajes we are talking about the main party areas in Barcelona. Can you come with us?
Raval
First of all, we are going to talk about the Raval, the most international and eclectic neighborhood in Barcelona. In its narrow streets, but full of activity, you can enjoy exotic and native cuisine, and small and varied places, some of which retain a bohemian air of other times. Special mention should be made of the London Bar, a centenary bar that is worth visiting.
Born
El Born is the trendy neighborhood of Barcelona. It is the ideal place for design lovers and for all those looking for restaurants, night bars and cocktail bars with a sophisticated and warm atmosphere. The mix of characters that can be found here is surprising: locals fresh from the office, bohemians, people of all nationalities …
Funny
We also want to tell you about GrĂ cia, a neighborhood full of places full of charm. If you get lost in the streets and squares of this corner of Barcelona you can enjoy a spectacular bohemian atmosphere. Special mention should be made of the Fiesta Mayor of the neighborhood, which is held in August.
Eixample
One of the liveliest neighborhoods in Barcelona is the Eixample, which is full of venues, bars and clubs with music of all kinds. In addition, here you can find restaurants with all types of cuisine.
Port Vell
The Port Vell is like a kind of giant terrace open to the Mediterranean. With the Maremagnum as the epicenter, this area is packed with shops, bars and restaurants. Especially it is worth it in summer, when the terraces become the real stars. Of course, during the winter there is also a lot of atmosphere.
Gaixample
We could not forget the so-called Gaixample area, which is located to the left of the Eixample. It is an area that concentrates a large number of places frequented by the gay and lesbian community. Here you can find show-restaurants, bars and nightclubs where freedom is the main protagonist.
Port OlĂmpic
Another area of ​​Barcelona where you can go out at night is the Port OlĂmpic. In fact, it is one of the most popular nightlife areas in the city. In addition to bars, restaurants and nightclubs, this area is home to the Casino de Barcelona.
Sant Gervasi-SantalĂł
We must also talk about the upper area of ​​Barcelona. Specifically, we want to talk about the axis marked by Santaló and Marià Cubà streets, an area full of bars and discos. It is important that you bear in mind that this area is frequented above all by university students and by older people looking for a chic atmosphere.
Poble Nou
Finally, we want to talk about Poble Nou, the ideal area for lovers of indie rock and the most current pop. Here you will find giant, spacious nightclubs and spacious bars. The Razzmatazz nightclub is one of the most important in the area.
