If you want to party and eat during the night you just need to know about when to come back and where are you partying. Metro close at 00:45 morning.

Becareful in the night, do not be too drunk in some places because it can be dangerous for you and your stuff. In the metro, mc Donalds, streets watch out for gypsies and some people look like riffraff.
