Where is the best place to stay in Barcelona for great nightlife?

Question

My friends and I are going to Barcelona next year and want to know where to stay? We enjoy good food, good drink and good music. Where should we stay to be very close to the hot spots in the city?

Answer 1

Well, Barcelona is like any city and has various different areas to go out in. It's not like a typical resort, where there's 1 main area. I would say stay in the old town (cuitat Vella), as you're walking distance to all the main areas. Las Ramblas area with Plaça Reial is one of the main drinking areas, and also the Olympic Village (although i wouldn't reccomend staying there, really, as it's a bit far out for all the rest of the places).

I would say anywhere in the old town (the gothic quarter, raval, borne, for exampe: see here http://www.bcn-rentals.com/barcelona-gui... and depending on the numbers, why don't you look at renting an apartment - there are loads of central properties, and it's abetter alternative to a hotel.  

Answer 2

I would stay in the barr gothic /borne area near metro Jaume I cos theres loads of bars and resturants around there and its also close to clubs and things
