Nightlife
Madrid is one of the world's liveliest cities, a city that never sleeps. During weekends or before public holidays it is not unusual to see more people out and about at 4, 5 or 6am in the morning than in many other cities during the day.
The best or at least most famous discos are probably Joy Eslava and Palacio Gaviria on Arenal street, Empire in the Paseo de Recoletos, Kapital in Calle Atocha and Pachá in Barceló street. Reduced admission or free drinks are available at many of Madrid's nightclubs with the Madrid Card.
Many gay discos and pubs can be found in the Chueca area of Madrid. The two main streets in Chueca where you’ll find the most going on are Calle Horteleza and Calle de Fuencarral.
