High tea time is replaced with high party time in Venezuela. Most night establishments close between 4AM and 12 Noon. Some partygoers do not even begin their evening until 12 hours after dark.

The ethnic diversity of Caracas supplies a constant stream of chromatic musical tastes. Hip-hop, Reggae, Meringue, and Salsa music frequently appear throughout the urban nightscape. Techno, alternative rock, and Top 40's are also in high demand. Visitors can dance in a nightclub, drink at a rock n' roll bar, or cruise in an upscale lounge.

It is advisable to remain in areas that are hospitable to tourists at night. Certain neighborhoods are quite perilous for foreigners and locals alike. Centro San Ignacio , a wealthy entertainment complex, is among the safest places to spend an evening. It attracts high-end clientele and doormen guard the entrance. Altamira, El Rosal, and Las Mercedes are also safe neighborhoods that border one another.

During the day, a traveler should consider searching for a few nightclubs of interest in these neighborhoods. Call the establishment for its door policy. Afterwards, consult with a local, concierge, or a friend on the safety of the places that peak your interest.
