Some additional things to note

Since many clubs have a dress code, hit the shops or dress up beforehand to make a grand entrance. The party kicks off late around midnight, so you can enjoy a relaxed pre-dinner and drinks before the clubs come alive. Keep in mind drinks can be pricey inside, so grabbing affordable drinks beforehand is a good way to pace yourself. When it’s time to call it a night, remember it can be late – around 6am or even later. With safety in mind, especially if you’re alone, hail a taxi or Uber to get home comfortably. Don’t forget your ID – clubs have strict age control, you wouldn’t want to miss out on the fun!
