The City of Light's nightlife is sure to have something for everyone: discos, nightclubs and bars of all kinds and in all districts of the city strive to attract people looking to have a good time and hoping to enjoy the night.

Techno, house, garage and latino are the popular sounds at discos and clubs at the moment. Admission prices (usually about 10-15 €) often include one free drink. Clubs open at about 23:00 and tend not to close until dawn; it is coolest to arrive around 03:00, or at least after midnight.

Popular areas include Montmartre (especially in summer), Sacre-Coeur and Bastille, which is full of clubs and bars. The younger crowd tend to head for Oberkampf, which is becoming increasingly fashionable.

The opera, the theatre or cafes where live music is being played are just some of the quieter night outing options. Good music venues are found in the Pigalle area, which happens to be Paris's seedy sex center. Another great place for cafés in the evenings is the Marais district.
