Whether it’s bars, clubs, pubs, festivals or anything else, some cities have it all.

This post is not for the weary, or those with strict curfews, but if you’re going on holiday looking for a bit of fun with late nights, hungover mornings and a guaranteed good time, not to mention a large bar bill – head to one of these fantastic cities, known for everything but sleep. This list is a cross between the Telegraph’s rankings and our own personal recipe for success.

Buenos Aires, Argentina

Palermo Soho knows how to party. If you’re looking for the wildest of the wild, with a high chance of tango involved – head to Buenos Aires. Everything is beautiful, including the wine.

Berlin, Germany

A night in Berlin goes far beyond German beer. The city is a metropolis full of trendy bars, clubs and biergartens. The city is young, vibrant and always up for a night out. Always.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

The land of caipirinhas takes no prisoners. The grungier the bar, the better the party. Dance the night away and keep on dancing all the way to Copacabana for sunrise. Does it get better?

New Orleans, USA

You’ve heard the rumors, and they’re true. Bourbon Street is just the tip of the iceberg in this city of voodoo, spicy food, drinks and saucy nights. Just watch out for the bands in the morning.

Barcelona, Spain

If you’re not eating dinner until 10, you can imagine when the party ends. Barcelona is a cosmopolitan paradise of the party with some of the world’s best gin bars and night districts.

St Petersburg, Russia

Nostrovia! Clubbing is an art form and In St. Petersburg, you’ll find the finest of artists. Think serious bouncers, ice cold vodka and banging beats. Yet another city that rarely sleeps.
