As far as bachelor or bachelorette events destinations go, Barcelona is in the top 6 for these popular weekend getaways and adrenaline-filled excursions.
These celebrations for the traditional stag do or hen do is a “last night” of passage hood from freedom and can get a little bit on the wild-side. So here is a short survival guide on how to have a successful and memorable one.
The best way is to book your activities through an official bachelor and bachelorette events organization, which helps to ease groups through jam-packed, tailored activity packages all over the city with stacks of things to do. Better still, use an organization based here in Barcelona – and one that has quite a few years experience in this field.
This article will give you some thoughts on the newer, popular activities proving successful in the city. BCN Events & Crawls is an English-language ex-pat company based in the city. The company has been organizing activities and bespoke events packages since 2010 and has a massive selection of available activities during your weekend away with a group of best buddies.
Barcelona Stag Dos and Hen Parties – Dos and Don’ts
Staying in a hotel, especially for a large group, is maybe an expensive option. Official apartments are the way forward. While there are much less limitations than a hotel, there are quite a few regulations and restrictions on apartment rental, so we recommend checking the city’s largest apartment rental company Apartment Barcelona, which will help you find the right place… they literally have thousands to choose from!
BCN Events and Crawls also provide airport transfers, or if you fancy arriving in style, maybe private Hummer hire is flavour of the day and is the perfect entrance into the city.
Best advice at you digs is to keep it down while you’re at your rental apartment and respect your neighbours, but of course, let your hair down while in this city – simple really, just like the locals do! Barcelona is well known for its nightlife the world over, so BCN Events and Crawls can also help here with selected night events and specific clubbing activities. The rest is common sense really.
