The best suggestions for a unique hen do in Barcelona
BARCELONA BACHELORETTE PARTY ACTIVITIES
1
Start with planning the transportation for your hen party in Barcelona
Most international Barcelona hen dos start... at the airport! Because unless you live here, you'll most likely be flying in. So if your party is all arriving on the same flight, don't break the momentum by putting your girls on a commuters train or splitting them in taxis. The best way to go is to book a private transfer. Mercedes vans can fit up to 7 of you. Or you can consider a minibus if your group is larger. And what about moving around the city later on? Depending on your budget you may want to splurge on a private driver, or hiring a limo or a hummer... Or what about renting a Ferrari for a few hours?
If the bride to be loves everything on wheels, you can even take her to the F1 racing track to run a few laps on a Lamborghini!
