Party cities of the world

A good nighlife is an important experience when you are travelling as it is a way to experience the true city that you are visiting. Whether you are looking for pubs, clubs, street festivals or early morning walks home here is our guide to top party cities around the world

BARCELONA, SPAIN

Barcelona has the usual city tourist nightlife but head off the main roads and you will find unsung venues to dance the night away. If you want to experience the city like a local then El Born is for you. This area is less touristy than the main streets of Las Ramblas, but is full of locals in it’s bars and cafes. Search through the backstreet’s for hidden hotspots and surprises like the Cat Bar (as you can guess a bar dedicated to cats)

For something different: Cat Bar
Carrer de la Bòria, 17, 08003 Barcelona, Spain

NEW YORK CITY, UNITED STATES

Known as the city that never sleeps, New York has no shortage of places to party. Start the night with a show on Broadway, a meal in one of the many restaurants or a walk around Times Square then head to The Meatpacking District; the up and coming place to be with its dance clubs. After something more laid back? Then head to the East Village, Greenwich Village or SoHo. Whatever you fancy NYC has it all.

For a night in a trendy bar: Schiller’s Liquor Bar
131 Rivington Street, New York City, 10002

PARIS, FRANCE

Whatever your taste in music Paris has it covered. Once the sun goes down you can head to the Champs-Elysées area for the cities most famous bars. Fancy a night of glamour then visit the legendary Moulin Rouge where you can catch a late night show, food and drinks. Want something more exclusive then Silencio is the place for you. Entry is mainly for members (maybe not at 780 euros!) but the public can enter after midnight, just dress to impress to get in

When you are after something more exclusive: Silencio
142 Rue Montmartre, 75002 Paris, France

BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA

Buenos Aires is the city for night owls. Most nightclubs only open their doors at 2AM so don’t think you can get there early but do expect to be dancing until 6AM. Any time before hitting the clubs is spent in bars or la previa; pre-game drinking. Whether you dance until sunset just the once or every night be brave and attempt the ultimate challenge!

Dance the night outside: Congo
Honduras 5329, 1425 Buenos Aires, Argentina

BANGKOK, THAILAND

Bangkok nightlife is more than bad karaoke . When you explore beyond the clichés you will find a diverse city which has a lot to offer. If you want a live band, chilled night or to dance the night away, you will find what you want in Bangkok. When experiencing the local Bangkok night-life be ready to dance where you are stood as they don’t usually have dance floors to throw your shapes. No flip-flops in a local nightclub either, remember to dress to impress. Chon Keaw! (Thai for cheers)
