In Tokyo, the night never truly ends. At many bars here, drinks keep coming until the last customer leaves – even if it’s 6 am. If your just getting started at midnight, head to the city’s largest entertainment district, Kabukichō, where you can kick things off with free-flowing drinks and food at an izakaya (Japanese-style bar) and then hop from one themed bar to another at Golden Gai; end the party by indulging in a hearty karaoke session – or a bowl of ramen – until the sun rises.
If your idea of a good night involves dancing, you're in luck – the city is home to some of Asia’s best dance clubs, like Shibuya’s WOMB and Cé la Vie. But if you're looking for a more subdued evening, Tokyo’s many cocktail bars (like the famed Bar Benfiddich) and other smaller, intimate establishments offer a nice refuge. Live music aficionados should seek out the basements of the live houses and jazz clubs in neighborhoods like Shinjuku, Kōenji, and Shimo-kitazawa. In Tokyo, your options are endless, making it truly one of the cities with the best nightlife in the world.

In Buenos Aires, nightfall isn't the end of the day – it's the beginning of an eight-to-ten-hour-long adventure that only ends when the sun rises. Whether you're looking for bars, dance clubs or tango, BA's got you covered. Check out one of the city's speakeasies – if you can find them and know the password to get in, that is. You’ll find La Calle (hidden behind La Guitarrita Pizzeria) in BA's undisputed nightlife epicenter Palermo, and Florería Atlántico in Retiro, a cozy bar that masquerades as a charming flower shop. More of a dance club sort? Head to Amerika for electronic and Latin beats, Club 69 for excellent drag shows (BA is one of the most gay-friendly cities in Latin America, after all) or Terrazas del Este, whose four dance floors play reggaeton, pop and cumbia all night long. Of course, you can't leave the Argentine capital without stopping at a milonga (tango house), like Maldita in San Telmo, to dance the night away.

If you’ve experienced enough of cosmopolitan Tokyo and need a change of pace from serene Kyoto, then you’ll need a list of the best things to do in Osaka, the spirited heart of the western Kansai region.

Read Your Way Through Buenos Aires
When I started traveling, I came to realize just how different Buenos Aires was from other literary cities. Maybe we all have similar thoughts about our hometowns, or maybe my revelation is just one more confirmation of the arrogance for which we — people raised in the port city of Buenos Aires — are famous throughout the rest of Latin America.
