A bar exclusively reserved for the hip, trendy and wealthy, Carpe Diem in Barcelona is described by Frommers as "achingly cool".

Situated on the edge of the beach, the VIP section of the bar hosts local famous footballers, while beautiful people strut around the rest of the venue.

Although the VIP section, complete with white chill-out beds, is reserved for those who are prepared to spend €120 (£95) on a bottle of spirits, party-goers can have just as much fun in other areas.

Several hundred revellers pack into the venue, especially on Friday and Saturday nights, when the local fashionistas dance until the early hours.

Sunday nights are more relaxed, but still catering for trendy-wendys with chill-out music to help the stylish Spaniards prepare for the week of partying ahead.

The tent-like site is a popular venue for private parties, so it would be a good idea to check it's open to the public before turning up unannounced.

There is a huge selection of chic bars and clubs in Barcelona, including Danzatoria Tibidabo and Margarita Blue.
