Barcelona is increasingly gaining a reputation as one of Europe’s great party cities and deservedly so. Things may start slowly with some food and a few drinks after siesta finishes (at about 1700) but they soon gather pace and by 2300 the city is buzzing. Friday and Saturday nights are when the city is at its liveliest but the drinking and dancing keeps going throughout the week. Bars are usually open until 0200 or 0300, while clubs and discos keep going until 0500 or 0600. The legal drinking age in Barcelona is 16 years and the price of tipple ranges from EUR1 for a small beer or glass of wine to EUR4 for something stronger, such as a rum and coke, depending also on the type of establishment.
