Clubbing in Barcelona





Berlin, New York, Amsterdam, London and BARCELONA. What does these cities have in Common? Clubbing and nightlife!

Barcelona could be considered as one of Europe’s clubbing capitals. With clubs all over the city, Barcelona´s nightlife is even as impressive as the city itself.

Clubs like Shoko, Catwalk and Opium in Villa Olimpica, Razzmatazz in Poble Nou, City Hall in Plaza Catalunya, Fellini in La Rambla and The one and La Terraza en Pueblo Español are lifting Barcelona up in the club charts. Every week one of these clubs have a headline DJ on there agenda. From Jeff Mills to Kavinsky, From David Guetta to Axwell.

These clubs use there own Formula. Some are more focusing on chilling and relaxing while for instance the One and Razzmatazz are more for the hardcore clubbers, while they have more underground DJ´s on their program(eg. Butch,Marc Houle, Ben Sims Etc.). Opium can be considered as a more mainstream (house) club, what is attracting people that love the more ´commercial´ house ( eg. David Guetta and Daft Punk). So Barcelona can serve everyone with a club which they like ( Hardcore Clubbers, Chillers and Mainstreamers).

With flats/apartments all over the old city, you will be close to all clubs. Every clubber knows how hard the ´day after´ can be, while alcohol is not always your best friend. But there is a nice solution while you can become sober at the beach, while the beach is a 10-15 minute walk from our apartments.
Planning to go clubbing in Barcelona. We can even provide accommodations up to 32 people. So even large groups. With apartments like this Bellafila PRL which can accommodate 8 people.

We are looking forward to hear from you.

Ps. Don´t forget that Sonar is coming up as well.

FLATS BY DAYS OFFERS DESIGN APARTMENTS AND BOUTIQUE FLATS TO ART AND DESIGN LOVERS



Gaudi, Miro, Picasso and Dali are just some names of great Spanish artists; these mind blowing individuals are still respected all around the world. Coming to Barcelona will mean that you can still find their work all around the city.

What all these artists have in common is that they have a dedicated museum. The museums of Gaudi, Miro and Picasso are in the city of Barcelona, while the Dali museum is situated in Figueres. What is a 1.30 hour drive from Barcelona.

Gaudi who became one of the most famous art nouveau architects is well known for many architectural highlights in Barcelona. His most famous creations are the still unfinished Sagrada Famillia and the Park Guell. To get to Park Guell take the green underground line to Vallcarca. The Sagrada even have his own underground station.

Besides Gaudi, Barcelona had another great artist. In the name of Miro. A painter/sculptor who was born in Barcelona. He became well-known by his expressionistic sculpture and paintings. There is even a museum dedicated to him and is situated on the Montjuc. It’s really easy to get to the Montjuc. Take the green line from Plaza Catalunya or Liceu in Las Ramblas and get off in Paral-lel. At Paral-el you have to transfer to a little train that takes you up to the Montjuc ( while this transfer is done underground, you don’t have to pay an additional charge for the transfer up the Montjuc). Altenatively, get off in Plaza España and reach the museum via electric escalators.

Maybe one of the most impressive painters ever is Picasso. His museum is situated near the Ramblas and underground station Jaume.

While we think that art is a beautiful connection to apartments, we have a great choice of design apartments and boutique flats all located in the centre of Barcelona, very close to Las Ramblas and the main square Plaza Catalunya.

Here there are some example of unique flats on offer:

Picasso apartment located in el Born area, very close to the Picasso museum.

Art Deco and Art Nouveau in the heart of the historical centre and very close to Las Ramblas.

Cathedral, luxury flat situated in the historic centre of Barcelona. 75 m far from the cathedral and just 50 m away of Ramblas boulevard.

Opera , modern design flat off Las Ramblas

So book your apartment at flats by days, while we can make you arty stay in Barcelona even more impressive. With apartments all over the historical centre you will own a wonderful piece of art for some days.

Fc Barcelona take on VFB Stuttgart!

After a rather dissapointing 1-1 draw in Stuttgart it is time for Fc Barcelona to show the Germans what they are really capable of. Even though a 1-1 result in an away game is not bad we all know that Barcelona is capable of much more. Thus we expect a great game in which the Catalans will show their true qualities. With an eye on the quater final all Barcelona needs to do is ensure that Stuttgart doesn´t score. If (which they most likely will) they manage to qualify for the quater finals we can expect another great CL match at Nou Camp on the 30th or 31st of March or the 6th or 7th of April.

Are you willing to attend this great footbal show with a couple of Friends then do not hesistate! Flatsbydays offers great apartments which are located in the centre with very easy acces to the stadium Nou Camp you grab the green metro line and before you know it you can hear the Barcelona chants. If you are a group of 8-10 people then check out our Bellafila 1B and Bellafila prl which are both just 5 minute walk from Ramblas. With great freedom and more than enough space the apartments are located in an area near many restaurants and pubs. Here you can celebrate the great footbal show with a few pints and your friends and possibly other local Barcelona supporters. So footbal supporters out there do not hesistate to step in and watch this awesome footbal show! There is footbal and there is Fc Barcelona!
