Also just outside the city, an easy train ride is Sitges, which is a great beach resort with "lively" nightlife.
Great place, I went for a day a couple of months back. Take the Gaudi Tour bus, its worthwhile.
Taken with my Sony snapper compact camera;
Thatll be the zoo where the elephant died a couple of years back as local youths were feeding it shoes and boots.I have the very same shot! Great place to visit - went for my 30th. I was warned of pickpockets and bag snatchers, but never saw any...no worse than any other city. You'll have a great time.
We went to the zoo (snowy the gorilla was not there though). Surprisingly good for a zoo - quite big and natural surroundings were far nicer than the usual concrete mass you see.
LOL its lively alright, especially if your liking is of the same sex
The city is rife with pickpockets etc, you just have to be wary about this.
I agree with the bus you can get on and off its well worth it.

Has anyone here been pickpocketed in Barcelona? or know anyone who has?
I've been there loads of times and its the same as any other city - I've never been pickpocketed. Mrs B got her wallet nicked on Brighton Pier once though..
Other things to check out are the indoor markets which are great if you are not a vegetarian, the Barri Gotic area around the Cathedral is lovely and nearby in former merchant houses is the Picasso museum.
Great city.
