Top 10 Best Party Cities in the World
I was lucky enough to start 2010 on Copacabana beach in Rio, surrounded by over 2 million people. I must admit that it was an unforgettable night! One of the best parts of traveling is experiencing the night life in different cities around the world. Let it be for New Year’s Eve, during a Carnival or on a simple Saturday night, you need to party it up! Below is a list I put together on the top 10 best party cities in the world, partly based on personal experience and online research.
Buenos Aires, Argentina
The beautiful city of tango additionally has a party city. It’s a city filled with much culture were the night only begins at midnight and ends in the early morning. The few clubs I experienced in Buenos Aires had a variety of music. The people are fun and they’ll randomly talk to you. It’s quite an experience!
Barcelona, Spain
I never had as many shots as I did when visiting Barcelona. There is a great vibe in the city in the early mornings, after everyone finishes partying. It reminds me a lot of Montreal where everyone is walking outside after a fun night out, being loud and obnoxious.
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The place to be if you want to party in Rio is Lapa. Most nightclubs and bars can be found in this neighbourhood. There is a wide variety of clubs to visit, anything from traditional clubbing music to samba clubs. You can’t leave Rio without partying in Lapa. Impossible!
Las Vegas, USA
What to say about Vegas? Party and money go together. One of the most famous places to party in the world, there is definitely a handful of places to consider, let it be in Hotel lounges or popular clubs in the Sin City.

Miami is the best party town in the world buddy. Spent a couple nights in Rio one time, and i went to Buenos Aires in that S. America trip too. Been to Las Vegas and NYC and those are two cool cities right there and in Europe I’ve been to Barcelona, but nothing stands out like Miami. No parties are as extravagant, as VIP-style as the ones in South Beach man. It’s crazy there, I also would want to go to Ibiza from what I’ve seen and heard it looks fantastic. I bet Ibiza’s right up there with Miami too!
Tanya
I agree that Miami is a great party place. I also had the opportunity to party there. But… I don’t think it’s the top places to party in the world!! My all time fave places to party are definitely in South America! I guess we’ve had different experiences

Tanya
Hey! Glad to hear you had a great time in Ibiza! I still haven’t been there!
For South America, you can’t go wrong in terms of partying. I had a great time in Buenos Aires, but Brazil is a great place to be partying as well! You can’t go wrong in Rio, Florianapolis or Bahia region. It’s in their blood! Let it be in a big club or in the streets, you’re guaranteed to experience a good party! Mexico is also a good place to party! I’ve been all over the country and had a blast anywhere and everywhere. It comes down to culture!

I think that Budapest deserves to be on the list. I was there for three weeks partying till sunrise in open air clubs like Romkurt and Rio, and meeting young backpackers from all over the world people who were always down for anything. The city has an island in the middle of the Danube called Margret Sziget, which is full of green parks and crazy nightlife too. Awesome city.

I did a southeast asia trip this summer and in my opinion the smaller cities have waaay crazier partying than the big ones. Kao San Road in Bangkok is definately insane, but Ko Samui goes harder (full moon party!!). Also above Bangkok is Sunukeville, Cambodia’s party til dawn beach raves. And the best of all, Vang Vieng, Laos. I have never in my life been so consistantly intoxicated or sexually active as I was in my 5 days there. Best of all, the partying isn’t just at night, it’s all day! Tubing there is the greatest thing ever. I highly reccomend this to everyone.

I mean Ko Pha Ngan, not ko samui.
