Hostelworld has polled local experts (read: party lovers) all over the world to ascertain where the best cities to go out are, and the results might surprise you.
Hamburg has been ranked as the best night out in the world, beating the likes of New York and Dublin, while London doesn't even make the top 20.
A major new study ranks 41 major cities in 27 countries based on five categories, including the quality of the nightlife, friendliness of the locals, safety, transport and cost after asking local residents their opinions. And it's Germany's second biggest city that rates best after topping two of the five categories in the survey and rating very highly in the others. It is praised for having open and friendly people and excellent transport links moving people between key destinations. The quality of its nightlife also rates highly based on the nocturnal activities available and people's general enjoyment.
Other highly rated cities include Copenhagen, which came in second, as well as Berlin (third), Dublin (fourth) and Amsterdam (fifth). The rest of the top ten is comprised of San Francisco, Gothenburg, Prague, Warsaw and New York.
San Francisco and New York are the only non-European cities to make it into the top ten.
However, major cities such as London, Tokyo and Rome fare badly in the research with all three failing to make it in the top 20. Tokyo is slammed for its poor transport links and value for money, London also scored badly on affordability, while Rome is criticised for being difficult to get around.
Globally, northern Europe scores very highly - it contains 10 of the top 12 top cities.
