Barcelona Stag Do's

Why is Barcelona Good for a Stag Do?

There’s so much to see and do in this gorgeous Catalan city that never sleeps! It boasts hot weather, a 4km sandy beach, footie legends, wicked nightlife and is reachable from the UK in a couple of hours, making it the ideal destination for fun-loving stags.

It’s not all sun and cerveza though (Spanish lesson time: It means beer). There’s loads of history and culture to discover. As well as being home to nine UNESCO World Heritage Sites and making the list of the TOP 50 Places on the Planet to Party, National Geographic once named Barcelona the Best Beach City in the World. That said, the beaches are man-made and only built in the 1990s when the city hosted the Olympics.

Spain’s second biggest city doesn’t only pack a punch when it comes to partying, it’s also an adult playground for fun activities, from adrenaline-pumping to laid-back, that are perfect for any stag weekend in Barcelona.

You’ll get a litre of beer each to sink as you explore. There will be music onboard to give you an epic soundtrack to this boozy sightseeing experience.

Kick start your night out with a tasty, three-course Spanish meal with unlimited drinks before a sexy senorita stripper pays you a visit!

Want to do some of the main tourist attractions? Then we can highly recommend the Casa Batllo, a Gaudi masterpiece, while the final part of your tour of the building will involve entering a room where screens will be on the walls, floor and ceiling, before a 10 minute show takes place all around you. It will leave the hairs on the back of your neck standing up, many highlight this as one of the best parts of Barcelona, but make sure your pass includes the show, as you may need the 'gold ticket' for this part.

The Park Guell is one of the top spots to visit in Barcelona and could also be a great spot to chill out in during the day on your bachelor party. The queues can be a little manic, so you may want to get here relatively early. The famous area for the photos does especially get busy, so earlier the better if you want a picture with the whole squad.

The park is actually right next to the Gaudi Experience, something that often gets left out from tourist guides, rather surprisingly. This involves a 10 minute 4D cinema experience, where you will watch a movie (don't worry about not knowing the words, there are none, it's purely music based), while things jump out at you and the seats move all over the place. You literally need to strap yourself in for this experience!

FAQS: Barcelona Stag Do’s

Why is Barcelona a great destination for a stag do?

To put it simply, Barcelona has it all! Whether you’re after the action of the vibrant city centre, prefer the idea of sun-soaked beaches, or fancy a combination of the two, Barcelona offers the best of both worlds! And let’s not forget the awesome array of stag do activities and the electric nightlife too! Sure, this arty city is great for learning about culture, but it’s not just about Gaudi, we promise! For an epic send-off, look no further than Barcelona!

When is the best time to book a Barcelona stag do?

This is a top city to visit year-round - you’ll never be short of things to do here. But of course, most stag groups plan their trip for the summer months so that they can make the most of the great weather. Think lazy beach days, watersports, rooftop bars and dining al fresco! With the sunshine comes the crowds, so if you prefer a slightly less busy time, aim for early spring or September. This way, you’ll still enjoy the warmth, just in a more laid-back atmosphere.

What activities should we plan for our stag group?

This all depends on your stag group’s style - whether you’re after some chilled activities or something more adrenaline-packed, we guarantee you’ll find something that everyone will be on board with. How about beers with a difference, where you’ll hop on a private pedal boat and enjoy your very own, exclusive pub on the water? If you prefer to stay on dry land, then there’s also a beer bike, where you’ll be able to take in some scenic views and sink plenty of cold pints! Other activities include the likes of stag do staples go karting, bubble football, and paintballing, or why not add a saucy surprise for the stag with a steak and strip? Oh, and who could forget the Nou Camp Stadium and Museum tour, where you’ll get to experience the home ground of FC Barcelona!

Is Barcelona safe for stag groups?

Yes, Barcelona is perfectly safe for stag groups, but like with any other tourist destination be aware of pickpockets - especially on Las Ramblas or crowded bars in central tourist areas. Be sure to stick together, keep your belongings close, and try not to overdo it on those absinthe shots!

What’s Barcelona’s nightlife like?

The nightlife here is completely legendary. Kickstart your evening with drinks at one of the city’s stylish rooftop bars, before heading to the beach clubs for epic beats. Alternatively, explore the hidden bars in the Gothic Quarter for a more laid-back vibe, before finishing things up at a top nightclub. Want to go big? Opium, Shoko, and Pacha are some of the city's biggest and best clubs. Remember, the clubs don’t normally open here until 11 pm and stay open until 6 am!

Where should we stay in Barcelona?

There’s loads of great accommodation options in Barcelona, with something to suit every budget. For wallet-friendly accommodation, consider hostels, standard hotels, or serviced apartments. If you’re looking to push the boat out, then you’ll be spoiled with endless 5-star hotels offering a luxurious experience. W Hotel Barcelona offers the ultimate stay with ultra-sleek rooms and a prominent spot on the beach!

Is Barcelona easy to navigate?

Yes, very! Barcelona is a breeze to get around and is super walkable. But if you’d prefer to skip on the walking, there’s plenty of public transport available. Hop on the Metro, which is cheap and quick or hire bikes and scooters and cruise your way along the beachfront. For those groups who want to reach their destination quickly, then you’ll be able to book a taxi or rideshare with ease.

Any rules or cultural tips we should know?

Be aware that when it comes to drinking, no open containers are allowed in public areas (street drinking in other words) so keep the beers in a glass at a bar, club, or restaurant. Also, loud boozy behaviour definitely won’t win you points with the locals (or the police!) so be sure to keep things classy. Finally, many clubs will not grant groups admission if they’re in beachwear or wearing stag fancy dress - be sure to check out any dress codes for preferred venues in advance.
