Newcastle and Glasgow are more fun than Manchester. Also you forgot the Greek islands.

This depends exactly on the kind of scene someone is looking for in nightlife.

Europe’s nightlife is overall having more variety, more sophisticated in some ways, more of an introverted+extroverted mix depending on exact place, and trying to appear wealthier.

“Latin America” nightlife is more extroverted overall, more affordable, less pretentious, and easier to get to know.

I might use another term for the places you are saying for “Latin America,” and I wouldn’t really include Southern Florida over there. Also, what your views for Spain vs. Latin America? Spain is obviously European, but also having a Latin identity, and relatively familiar connections to some countries, and places in South America.

I experienced European nightlife scene in Romania, Bulgaria, France, UK. For “Latin American” nightlife, I experienced this in Mexico, and Costa Rica. I have wealth of exciting memories for my visits to those countries, including for nightlife and plenty of other activities in visiting. I would go to these countries again for more memories and more entertainment.

Many Americans would think Spain is very similar to LA, but I'm sure for those who have visited both there are obvious differences. Many LA cities have old Spanish architecture which make them superficially seem similar. For those who have been I wonder what the main cultural differences you noticed were?

How would you compare the nightlife scenes in the countries you've been to? Especially between the European countries?

Spanish are the most party people in the world. Ibiza is the party capital of the world.
