1. Plan Ahead
Before Carnival time especially, take the time to research venues and events in order to learn whether certain places have special dress codes, or if certain events require advance ticket purchase.
2. Dress Code
You will want to dress to impress, as in general, Barcelona’s nightlife is stylish, but bear in mind the weather at the time of year that you are visiting. Even when it’s not chilly I’d recommend bringing a jacket or coat if you plan to explore the city after dark in February.
3. Arrive Fashionably Late
For a full nightlife experience, you may have to change your schedule. Most nights locals start later; clubs can be busy after midnight. If you hate waiting in a line, get there before 1 am.

It’s like anywhere else – have your hands on your belonging and be aware of your surroundings. Be sure to not leave your bags unattended and where possible avoid the use of lockers that may look secure but are not.
