European Boogie Nights: the best nightclubs on the continent

24 Hour Party People

Berlin is the birthplace of the 24 Hour Party People!

** CLUB PURGE (SAINT PETERSBURG) **

The bet is resounding and demanding to the max: New Years is celebrated every night . Almost nothing. Groundhog day in festive version, with Putin's speech, toast and all his additions . Those who eagerly await this date have their paradise here, if the expectations of it being the best of the year are not satisfied, they can try again until everything is perfect. As if that were not enough, they also have a second non-stop option: they set up the entire set as if it were a wedding and the client can act as the contracting party. The Russians sure know where the fun is.

** MINISCULE OF SOUND (TRAVELING) **

Here avoiding who you don't like is complicated, finding someone to interact with is much easier. In 2.8 square meters of club there are not many secret corners and it is better that the 14 people who complete the capacity have the same intentions . This project was born as a parody of all the insufferable clichés of nightspots (their doormen are relentless and the queues are huge) and it has been in operation around the world for almost two decades (it does not have much problem to pack up and go anywhere), with priority on the circuit of large festivals. We already know that it is enough that it is difficult to access so that everyone is looking forward to it, patience.

Imagine that every night was the end of the year...

** CROSS CLUB (PRAGUE) **

The concern for the sustainability of the planet is not alien to this club. It is built with recycled materials. Pieces of metal, wood and ceramics that live a second life here, surely much more fun than the first, reinforced by a spectacular play of lights. Steampunk aesthetic from the imagination of Frantisek Chmelik to the center of Prague. It also works as a cultural center and during the day you can have coffee in one of the old train seats that make up its furniture.

**HALO (BOURNEMOUTH)**

All party lovers have their temple here... in the literal sense. Is about a Methodist church converted into a nightclub at the disposal of the sinful desires of its new parishioners. The entire structure of Gothic arches, and even the altar, remains intact to shelter the thousands of students (it is an eminently university city) who meet there to exchange opinions, concerns and whatever arises between partials.

** CLUB 4 CLIMATE (LONDON) **

If, in general, the success of the party is your responsibility and that of those around you at Club 4 Climate, the demand, as well as emotional, is physical. The electric generator located on the dance floor transforms the dances of the public into energy for the entire premises , so it's not worth giving up, nor do my feet hurt. It's not like it's going to be left in the dark either, but it's a great incentive, as the entrance is free if you arrive walking or on foot. Of course all discarded materials are recycled . Yes, you can go on a night out and be respectful of the environment. Future generations will also want to have a planet where they can have fun.

** CONCRETE (PARIS) **

Nothing as wonderful as taking a walk along the Seine, stopping for a drink and admiring the views. The deck of a ship sounds like an idyllic setting for a great Parisian photo. The problem is that memories recorded beyond one's own memory are prohibited on this boat. Who needs them when you can drop below deck to the atmosphere of one of Europe's best clubs and bounce alongside its iconic boxy cabin during one of those marathon weekend sessions. And when finished, back to walking.

** FLORIDA 135 (FRAGA, HUESCA) **

An entire dance institution that boasts of being "The cathedral of techno". Founded in 1942, it has evolved like few other venues over the decades to become what it is today, adapting, if not anticipating, to the new times. Terraza-Jardín Florida, Salón Florida, Florida Fraga were the ancestors of the current Florida 135. Its current design is conceived as a replica of a New York street, with different rooms and an unbeatable sound even in the last corner. From the orchestras of the 40s, to the yeyés of the 70s, passing through the rockers of the 90s... artists always remarkable in their styles that, finally, gave way to the best electronic music on the planet. Florida is living history of club culture.

** FLUXUS MINISTERIJA (KAUNAS) **

An old shoe factory first transformed into a squat and raver hangout now hosts parties for 10 thousand people in perfect harmony. In this gigantic space , in which you can find various environments, you can also enjoy spectacular visual games, sculptures, murals and all kinds of artistic representations. Jurgis Maciunas he is the founder of the Fluxus artistic movement that has its maximum exhibition here.

** BERGHAIN PANORAMA BAR (BERLIN) **

Legend of the kick drum and the snare drum, a place where techno fans confirm their alternative. Located in the Berlin district of Friedrichshain , between the walls of an old power plant, and with the most famous doorman in the world, Sven Marquardt , applying with the criteria of Nero access rules that no one has yet managed to fully decipher. Many things happen in Berghain, almost all of them so good that you won't want to leave for several days (option available) and return as soon as possible once your five senses have been recalibrated.
