Travel is one of the best things you can do. It broadens your horizons, you learn about different cultures, you can try new food and drink, and it’s all around a great idea. However, although the US is a huge country with tons of different places to visit, it’s nothing compared to the cities of Europe. If you’re looking for awesome nightlife or even just relaxed places to go for summer trips abroad, Europe is your place to come. We’ve compiled a list of some of the most notable cities to visit in Europe for a great time, whether it is at night in the bars or enjoying lots of sun.
Berlin
Berlin is the place to be in Europe right now. With over half a dozen different districts, each with a different feel and expertise, you won’t be short of places to visit. Outdoor bars in graffitied alleys, all night ragers, or just a ton of parks to sit in and have a few, Berlin has everything you’re looking for all in one place.
Barcelona
Barcelona is the best of both worlds. With an awesome, and cheap, nightlife scene but also the added bonus of the beach. There are dozens of bars that open up on the sandy beaches and even more close by that are a fraction of the cost. The vibe in Barcelona is typical beachfront attitude: have some drinks and be chill. With places like Opium (it’s a bar, not an opium farm), you’ll never be bored.
Amsterdam
Amsterdam is a great place to be for clean fun and some dirty fun as well. However, what’s so awesome about Amsterdam is if you’re not interested in all of that you don’t even need to see it, it’s almost like it doesn’t exist. There are a million different kinds of bars and clubs and you’ll never be short of places to visit.
Budapest
Budapest is one of the cheapest cities in Europe you’ll ever visit, and its night scene is no different. With shots cheaper than bottles of water and cocktails that are only a fraction more expensive, it’s an awesome place to go and just go all out without breaking the bank. As an added bonus, the scenery and architecture around Budapest is stunning, and there are very few places where you can drink a pint of beer for €2 while overlooking a palace or parliament building.
Europe is full of amazing cities to visit for some summertime nightlife fun, but this list is only scratching the surface. With other places like Prague, Krakow, and Lagos in Portugal, your options are absolutely endless. If you’re looking for something a bit different this summer, perhaps it’s time you jumped on a plane and crossed the pond for a short while.
