The votes are in: we’ve just named the world’s very best cities for nightlife. To do this, we asked locals all over the world what they’d say about the nightlife in their city. Then we put the data to a panel of experts – Time Out’s city editors, culture experts and specialists – to decide on the very best.
Bangkok topped the list, but plenty of European cities featured too – including Amsterdam, Athens and Berlin, which ranked second in the globe. So we reached out to our most trusted writers in some of our favourite cities in Europe and asked them one question: what’s the best nightclub in your city? And sure, this list is subjective, but if you’re partying in any of the cities on this list, these spots are an excellent place to start. For good DJs, late closing and all-round good vibes, here are our favourite clubs in Europe right now.
