Discover The Best Nightlife On The Continent On Holidays To Europe

Saturday, November 27th, 2010

 

It’s hard to choose which European city has the best nightlife, as many cities on the continent have exceptional club, bar and cafe scenes. You can find affordable holidays to popular European destinations, such as Barcelona, Paris and Berlin, so now is the perfect time to visit. Visit the tourist attractions during the day, and then experience the exciting nightlife, which is when the cities really come alive.

Many nightclubs in Paris are exclusive and expensive, and may not let you in if you haven’t booked a table, so do some planning before you go to avoid disappointment. Bastille is a bustling area, with nightclubs that play house, techno and garage music. The best area for an evening’s bar hopping is the Marais District, closely followed by the increasingly fashionable Oberkampf, which is more popular with a younger crowd.

It’s difficult to know the best places to go in Berlin, as many are secret clubs, that depend on word of mouth to advertise themselves and keep themselves underground, so ask around to find the best venues to go to. The Mitte district has been a popular place for clubbers for sometime now, because of this, it has become very tourist focused. Kreuzberg is a district worth visiting if you want an edgy night out.

By day Amsterdam is chock-full with tourists enjoying boat rides on the canal and visiting museums, but it’s at night that the city really comes to life. With so many cheap flights going to Amsterdam, make the most of these to discover the eclectic clubs on offer.

Barcelona’s nightlife is very much in keeping with the city itself, trendy, varied and sometimes spectacular. Magic club is one of Barcelona most famous and well loved indie clubs in the El Born District, expect a hot and sweaty dance-floor and classic 80’s tunes. With regular flights to Barcelona all year round, this is a great destination to explore the city during the day, and have fun at night.

These establishments in these cities are only a tiny selection of what’s on offer in European cities. Research the best bars, cafes and clubs before you go, so it’s suitable for your preferences.
