Barcelona hosts a vibrant and integrated gay scene. Throughout the city everyone is welcoming and open-minded, thus establishing Barcelona as of the most gay friendly destinations in Europe. Many of the gay bars, clubs and hostels surround the area of Eixample and nicknamed gayxample.
The main gay area is L'Eixample and really only gets going after midnight, well after midnight in many cases. So enjoy that siesta during the day after your long walk along
Las Ramblas because you may need some of that energy towards dawn when the party really gets going. Of course you can always stay in the nearby
Hotel Omm or
Hotel Palace GL to make sure you stay close to the action. Casanova by Rafael Hotels inspired by buzzing arts scene and the Gaudi architecture, Casnova is truly a hip and elegant hotel, complete with modern and innovative guest room decor. Casanova is right opposite to the ‘Gayxample’, perfect for group parties and couples.
Enjoy the exciting gay club scene with one of Barcelona’s longest-standing clubs, the Arena Sala Dandy located on right on the
Passeig de Gracia. Sala Dandy is incredible popular so get there early to avoid the disappointment.
If you are staying in Barcelona for a long vacation why not take a visit to the mecca for gay tourists, the Brighton of the Costa Brava with a total of 17 beaches. It is considered one of the most
Romantic Breaks trips to take with your partner. For public
Transport use, take the train from the
Estacio de Sants.
