Madrid runs on famously late hours - Spaniards rate it among the best in the country for nightlife, and locals don't head out until well after midnight. The bar-dense central barrios of Malasaña, Sol and Chueca feed into clubs that don't peak until 3 - 4am.
The party scene
Kapital (seven floors) and Teatro Barceló are the headline clubs; Malasaña and Chueca hold the bar density; Sol is the central anchor. The defining trait is the timing - Madrid's nights run later than almost anywhere in Europe.
When to go
Year-round. Spring and autumn are most comfortable; summer rooftops and terraces are huge; the city stays out late in every season.
