Accra, Seoul, Berlin: These are a few of the cities that come alive after dark - theweek.com

New York is not the only city that never sleeps. In Berlin, Rio, Seoul and Accra, the night never has to end. Clubs, bars and restaurants there are open until the wee hours — if they even close at all.

For entertainment from sunset to sunrise, these seven destinations are tops. Accra, Ghana Dance parties are everywhere in Accra (Image credit: Cristina Aldehuela / AFP / Getty Images) The parties start outside in this coastal city, with revelers flocking to "rooftop bars, open-air concerts, live DJ sets and art festivals," Accra expert Kofi Dotse said to Time Out. Every night of the week, Accra's "vibrant" streets are "buzzing with food vendors and music," and those wanting to dance under the moonlight know to visit Labadi Beach for its all-night bashes.



For "high-energy clubbing," visit "iconic venues" like South Village for its warehouse parties and Alley Bar. Berlin, Germany In good weather, revelers make their way outside in Berlin (Image credit: hanohiki / Getty Images) Berlin is where "anything goes," the BBC said, with clubbers bouncing from "techno temples" to "hedonistic hideouts" to "multi-day raves in former Cold War bunkers." There are often rules in place to protect the sanctity of partying, like no phones allowed inside, and brace yourself for bouncers who strictly control who enters.

There is no official closing time for venues in Berlin and buses are always running, making a night of revelry easy. Subscribe to The Week Escape your echo chamber. Get the facts behind the news, plus analysis from multiple perspectives.
