2. Stay Safe – Use reputable transport apps, keep an eye on your drinks, and let a friend know where you’re heading.

3. Respect the Scene – Whether you’re at a high‑end Dubai lounge or a gritty Milan club, follow the local etiquette. Simple things like not taking photos in restricted areas go a long way.

4. Budget Wisely – Nightlife can get pricey fast. Set a limit for drinks and cover charges before you go.

5. Connect with Locals – A quick chat with a bartender or a regular can point you to the next‑door spot that isn’t on any guide.
