If you haven´t planned your New Year´s Eve in Barcelona yet, here are some ideas that will hopefully help you to organise your celebrations...

I´ve done the background work so you don´t have to - and here´s my list of some of the best restaurants, clubs, hotels and parties in Barcelona for New Years Eve...

Go big! If you think this is the year to do New Year´s Eve in 5 star style then the Hotel Arts and W Hotel in Barcelona are guaranteed to offer you black tie dinner and gala style celebrations.

Indulge with an elaborate menu in luxurious surroundings at the Hotel Arts. The award-winning Arola restaurant offers you delicious food and then free entrance into the Gran Saló Gaudi party for 200 euros each. (Definitely a special occasion option! but will deliver what  you hope for...) New Year´s Eve Menu

Party at the top of the W Hotel in the Eclipse bar and see in the New Year with friends overlooking the Mediterranean and beautiful city lights of Barcelona. 100 euros per person. (or 50 euros for the party in the W lounge downstairs)

W Hotel 

Throughout the city, there are plenty of restaurant options for New Years Eve...

The cool Cafe Kafka in the Born area is offering group menus and celebrations at midnight for 125 euros. (Obviously depends on what you´re willing to pay!)

Mirablau For stunning views of Barcelona and classic commercial music, head up to Tibidabo and celebrate at Mirablau. (Make sure you book a taxi for the return journey as it´s always difficult at Mirablau)

Street Party and spectacular Fireworks all for free....

For the first time ever, Barcelona´s putting on a massive fireworks display hoping to rival the other major cities at midnight!

Starting at 11.30pm and finishing at 12.15am the sky will be lit with "volcanoes of fire" and a stunning fireworks display at midnight at Plaza España. Watch the countdown to 2014 on the two massive screens either side of the Avenida Maria Cristina and celebrate with friends and family.

So get your sparkles and copas de cava ready for a great New Year´s Eve 2013!!

 

Wishing you all a very Happy Christmas and New Year! I´m heading back to London for Christmas so will be back in the New Year with new blog posts and more Barcelona inspiration! 

Bones Festes!! x
