So why not be a weekend globe trotting party maniac… We have taken all the hard work for you and found you 5 places you absolutely have to visit for some great parties, even if its only for the weekend. With flights as cheap as a return taxi nowadays there is no reason not to go sample the weekend life in another country.
1. Ibiza, Spain
Ibiza, well everyone knew this was going to be near the top. Ibiza is the self proclaimed party place, with numerous albums dedicated to the sounds of Ibiza there is no wonder this place attracts people from all over Europe. With a usual nights partying starting at 11pm and not finishing up until 6am (8am in some places) you can be sure that you will need your lucozade for this trip. The main music theme of Ibiza is Trance/Dance music which involves alot of dancing so be sure to come with the customary Kevin & Perry look.
2. Amsterdam, Holland
Amsterdam, Attracts party heads from all around the world and it doesnt matter what time of year it is Amsterdam is always in full party mode, with tourists descending all year round to take in the sights of this wonderful place. With a large amount of activities to partake in you really cannot get bored. There is the red light district where paying for sex is a normal thing and women all shapes, sizes & colours. If you dont have the stamina left after all that partying you could always sit in one of the many theatres that have live sex shows on display. If you have been out all night partying and just want to head off to sleep then there are many coffee shops which Amsterdam is famed for, where you can simply go in and “skin up a joint” of Amsterdam’s finest cannabis.
3. Pamplona, Spain
Spain again, Spain takes up two spots of our top 5 party destinations this is because the weather is great & everyone is relaxed and really enjoy a good party. Pamlona spain has a wide array of bars & clubs suitable for everyone, whether you just want a relaxing drink or a head thumping crazy party in one of Pamplona’s famous nightclubs (it wouldnt be Spain without a great nightclub). These night clubs though do have some strict dress codes & the doormen usually choose the beautiful to enter so ensure you have a girl in your group dressed to impress.
4. Munich, Germany
Munich, famed for its Oktoberfest beer festival. Munich like most of Germany is stocked up with a selection of great bars, pubs & clubs but the difference with this city is the large amount of students. This is an experience you just cannot describe.
5. Athens, Greece
The Greeks invented partying. Most parties in Athens last till 4am and there are wide range of places to with parties happening on the beach (indoor & outdoor). Remember to dress nice because the clubs in Athens are a little dressy.
