Which Areas in Barcelona are Great for Events?

Gràcia

Gràcia is a great area to host an event thanks to its proximity to its famous international cuisine scene. From Japanese speciality places for sushi and ramen to authentic Italian joints, to cute American pie shops.

It’s one of the coolest areas you could hope to be in, never mind host an international event. Despite how hip and bohemian it is, it’s still very accessible and friendly to visitors.

You’ll love the narrow pedestrian streets that link up the charming plazas that can only exist in Barcelona.

There are loads of tapas bars, cafes, and independent stores for bespoke and handmade gifts. And at the end of a day of eventing, the area is perfect for nightlife, from lowkey traditional music spots to loud and sophisticated cocktail bars.

Poblenou

Poblenou is a superb area for modern, innovative companies. While you’re there, you and your guests can stroll through some beautiful streets, enjoy fantastic coffee, brunch hotspots, and vintage markets.
