The capital of Peru and the 3rd largest city in Latin America after Sao Paulo and Mexico, Lima has a huge nightlife scene.

You will find a bit of everything: High-end nightclubs filled with socialites, retro 80s and 90s discos, cheap backpacker watering holes, swanky beach clubs, trendy rooftop bars, packed salsotecas, and even several red-light districts.

Bogota is Colombia's capital and largest city (8 million people). It is much less touristy than Cartagena or Medellin , probably because of the weather (a bit cold and rainy) and the traffic situation.

You have at least 50 nightclubs, hundreds of bars and countless live music venues where you can dance salsa, champeta, vallenato, kizomba, zouk or tango, etc. In this Bogota nightlife review, I will give you a list of tips to prepare your night out: Nightlife areas and where to stay nearby, the top bars and nightclubs you can't miss, how to meet people, how to stay safe, etc. If you still have questions, please just leave a comment at the end of the article.
One of the richest cities in the world, Hong Kong hosts a crowded 7 million people. Among them, you will find a diverse party-loving crowd of executives, expats (and their grown-up kids), students, and a fair number of tourists. This makes for an extremely dynamic, sophisticated and intense nightlife that I consider to be one of the best in Asia.

If you are expecting to party like in Las Vegas, you will be disappointed: There are actually very few nightclubs and bars, and you rarely have famous guest DJs or performers. Macau is really focused on hardcore gambling, with a rather large high-end prostitution scene. That makes it a popular destination for sex tourists, mostly from mainland China, but it's not my thing. Therefore, I was happy to spend only a couple of days there before heading back to Hong Kong, which is way more fun.
