MADRID

Of course, Spain is one of the biggest party hub in the world, Spaniards are night owls as a result a lot of bars, clubs are open till dawn. With daily events all year round. Fabrik is one of the biggest nightclub in the world and is located in Madrid

There are a least 4 neighborhoods to go to on a night out, namely Barrio de las Letras, Malasaña, Chueca, and Salamanca.

Barrio de las Letras is a few steps away from the famous Puerta del Sol it attracts mainly tourists, Malasaña has more of a bohemian and creative vibe that mainly caters to the locals. If you are part of the LGBTQ community, there is a place for you. Do not miss out on the Chueca district. In case you fancy something a bit more upmarket, have a wander round the Salamanca neighbourhood

If you are a party animal, you should stay in some of the hostels in the vicinty of Puerta del Sol or in one of the following party district Barrio de las Letras, Malasaña, Chueca, and Salamanca.

A lot of nightclubs close very late in Spain, around 7 or 8AM, as a rule of thumb is it always best to go 3 to 4 hours before closing time. In other words, get ready to enter the club around 3AM. This is perfectly normal in Spain as everything start late and done late. Not uncommom to see Spaniards having dinner at Midnight

Madrid is not the cheapest place to party. The model is a little different to other countries in the world. You often have to pay for the cover + 1 or 2 drinks at the door. This varies between 15 and 20 euros. Drink-wise most beers are between 5 and 8 euros and coctails at 8€ up to 20€

Most bars and clubs are open pretty early from 10pm to midnight. Going early when no one is there, can often guarantee you a free pass. Check the venue's social media and get on their guest list. Another alternative is to go on a bar crawl. More music bars have a variable entrance fees which heavily depends on the customers, a group a ladies will pay much less than a group of guys only. Morale of the story, try to enter with a couple of ladies.

Madrid is pretty big with about 3M inhabitants. The city is pretty safe at night so you should not fear to dress to impress, However it is always recommended to walk around in groups or take a taxi for long distances

Always a tricky question to answer, but a general rule is the more exclusive the venue, the smartest you should dress. Another typical rule of thumb is to skip any fancy dresses, football jerseys, tracksuits, trainers, sneakers and shorts. Ladies would likely get in whatever they wear, for Gents, please wear trousers and a shirt
