Whether it's to celebrate a graduation, a birthday or the end of a working year, summer is often a time for long parties! If you're planning to travel to Europe during the summer, it's a good idea to keep up to date with the most festive cities! If we often think that the party is always in full swing in the South, you should know that the Eastern countries are serious competitors! From Barcelona to Budapest, Petit Futé offers you its selection of the best cities to party in Europe.
N°10 - Liege, the epicurean
Our Belgian neighbors are known for their humor and their sense of celebration. If we had to choose, we would stop in Liege! Here, the nights are long. The downtown district called Le Carré concentrates a very large number of bars, it is the ideal place to taste quality Belgian beers in the early evening. Afterwards, night owls will appreciate the gigantic discotheques in the city center where the atmosphere is always very good.
N° 9 - Glasgow, queen of the party
A very good alternative to the usual London and Dublin, Glasgow is not to be outdone when it comes to partying! This former industrial city is now home to one of the most dynamic music scenes in Europe. From 6pm onwards, the pubs are packed and don't empty until 1am. The best clubs are all within a 20 minute walk of each other, between Sauchiehall Street and Union Street, ideal for a wild night out!
N°8- Budapest, along the beautiful blue Danube
In a few years, Budapest has become one of the temples of the party in Europe. Its ruin bars, old decrepit buildings converted into festive bars, give a particular atmosphere to the nightlife of the Hungarian capital. Budapest is also known for its low prices and attracts many students who come to have fun in a low cost way! Every year in August, it hosts the famous Sziget, an internationally renowned music festival.
N° 7 - Prague, the beauty of the East
For the past fifteen years, Prague has become the Eldorado of partygoers. Prague, the bewitching capital of the Czech Republic, attracts visitors for its romantic alleys, its mysteries eternally linked to the genius of Kafka and of course its incomparable atmosphere! It is home to some of the best clubs in Eastern Europe and tasty beers from emerging microbreweries. More than just visiting Prague, you have to live it: love at first sight!
N°6- Zagreb, more than just a stopover
In Croatia, the seaside towns of Novalja or Hvar have been popular for a few years, to the point of being nicknamed "Saint-Tropez of the Adriatic". All this is to the detriment of Zagreb, which is well worth a visit! Trendy city, it is famous for its festive evenings. We like its numerous clubs which welcome many local artists and its music festivals such as Inmusic, on the banks of Lake Jarun.
N° 5 - Mykonos, island atmosphere
Famous for its splendid beaches, Mykonos is undoubtedly one of the most famous islands for partying in Europe, after Ibiza! Day and night, many parties are organized directly on the beach. The site is splendid and from May to September there are no less than 33 bars and about twenty discotheques and beach clubs on the island. Mykonos is the ideal destination to mix party and idleness!
N° 4 - Amsterdam, beautiful by night
If its canals, bicycles and tulips conquer the hearts of all visitors, its unbridled nights will particularly please the night owls! In Amsterdam, the most festive neighborhoods are undoubtedly Rembrandtplein and Leidseplein. Whether you're into rock, electro or hip-hop, the Dutch capital is sure to please with its many clubs. Bonus: getting back on your bike at the end of the night will be easy!
No. 3 - Barcelona, the must-see
Always muy loca, the Catalan capital never ceases to attract party people from all over the world! With its Mediterranean beaches, its facades with a thousand colors inspired by Gaudì and especially its incomparable movida , it has everything of a small paradise! Start the evening with a tapas tour , before dancing the night away in one of the city's many clubs. The barrio gótico is the most picturesque neighborhood in Barcelona, perfect for starting the night!
N°2- London, all night long
For many Europeans, in London everything is possible! Always at the forefront of new trends, the British capital seduces night owls of all styles. London is the city of all contradictions and its nights are as unbridled as one could wish! Here, no dress code to enter: the more crazy the look, the more it will be appreciated! The districts of Camden and Leicester Square are essential in the evening, but East London does not cease evolving and makes them a real competition.
N ° 1 - Berlin, the underground
Over the years, the German capital has become one of Europe's most feeble capitals. Electro lovers hop her at the top of the podium for his sleek nightclubs where music resonates until dawn. But the real Berlin is in its strawberries converted into bars, in its gigantic squats where you come to admire artworks before letting you go to the rhythm of music. Berlin is trend, because Berlin anticipates the trend. Go to one of the swimming pools on the banks of the Spree to believe…
