Clubs, Bars and Pubs
For a city so big, for a long time Arequipa did not have a very active night life. But things have changed in recent years and now there are many great clubs and bars that are open most nights of the week. However as in most cities, Thursday, Friday and Saturday still tend to be the busiest nights, with clubs filling at around midnight.
Most of the nightlife is centred around the most central areas of the city. In the centre there are a number of smart clubs and bars as well as good discos. It is here where most of the tourists tend to come. However, the young people of Arequipa tend to towards Av. Dolores, where there are many hip bars and discos.
