Malaga's nightlife is notorious and word is slowly spreading throughout Europe. Malaga benefits from its climate (the warmest city in Europe) and its size (number of inhabitants). Although it is a tourist city, they are in the minority, as thousands of locals enjoy themselves in Malaga. Fridays and Saturdays are the busiest days. This combination makes Malaga unique, 365 days a year. It should be noted that the nightlife does not start before midnight. Most nightclubs do not open until 23:00 or 24:00. As most venues are located in the centre and Malaga's old town is compact, you can go "nightclub hopping".
From elegant rooftop bars with breathtaking views over the city to hidden speakeasies with exclusive signature drinks - every cocktail lover will find their perfect ambience here. Whether it's a classic mojito, sophisticated gin creations or innovative mixology works of art - first-class drinks, a relaxed atmosphere and often live music await you in Malaga's trendy cocktail lounges.
