Bachelors who tend to prefer a more tranquil stay in Barcelona are highly recommended to extend their cultural visits to museums such as the MACBA or the Mueso Picasso. Furthermore, they should visit the Tibidabo and enjoy the tremendous panoramic view of the whole city. However, these visits should avoid the high-season in summer because temperatures will rise up to 40° C.

Bachelors can organize their weekend however and wherever they want to and it can be seen as an alternative to having a night-out in a familiar surrounding. Still, they should be aware that they focus on partying with their friends and that they resist the manifold temptations as honeymoon will be soon afterwards.
