What are some 24 hr cities in the world?

-I should be able to order a pizza at 3 AM
-Supermarkets open 24/7
-Public transport 24/7
-Restaurants open 'til late.
-Lively vibe at night (besides nightclubs.)

Cities like Tokyo, NYC, Paris and London come to mind but im wondering if there are also other ones that fit this description?

Bangkok, and it's cheaper than the cities you listed.

Buenos Aires

I found Paris was a city that sleeps actually, Barcelona's businesses will shut down early but it's party vibe stays up at all hours

Quite a bit stays open late in Madrid as well. But it's not truly 24/7.

Bangkok, Shanghai (for the most part)

London goes late, but definitely not all hours.

Mexico City, Berlin to some degree

London and Paris aren't 24hr cities...not in the way NYC is.

Las Vegas
Miami is pretty close
New Orleans gets close
Spanish cities

Hong Kong. LKF bars clear out around 3, Wanchai bars go all night. Late night eats at Flying Pan, Ebeneezers, Lebanon. Transit closes at 12:30 but buses go all night and cabs are easy to get all night

I know Stockholm as all night subway during weekends and bus service all night during the week.

London and Paris are not all night cities.

These are:
- Buenos Aires
- Madrid and Barcelona
- Berlin and Hamburg
- NYC, Vegas, Miami
- Bangkok, Hong Kong

I've heard Sao Paulo is an 'all night' city. Maybe someone can confirm or deny this for me.

All of Nevada has all-night towns, in the sense that all casinos that I know have bars which never close, although of course apart from Vegas and Reno, the state doesn't have any "cities" per se. Reno's a lot smaller than Vegas, but it's not miniscule - the metro area is a little under a quarter of a million people and it's close to the towns on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe, which, if they have casinos, are 24-hr by some measure.

Geronimo, Vegas, Reno, and Tahoe towns meet your criteria excepting 24/7 public transportation.

Vegas, Miami, NYC, Rio??, Madrid

LAGOS, NIGERIA

Madrid is not, just some parts. They even have siesta and dont open on Sundays.

Mexico City

Good point.

I guess siesta technically would cancel Spanish cities off the list.

Doesn't Buenos Aires have siesta too?

"I've heard Sao Paulo is an 'all night' city. Maybe someone can confirm or deny this for me."

Clubs and bars can stay open until early in the morning(5 or 6 am). But the Metro closes at 12:00 am on weekdays and closes at 1:00 am on Saturdays but opens up every morning at 4:40 am. You won't find any decent restaurants that are open 24/7 except for fast food places like Habibs put that place isn't that good. I think "Pão de Açúcar"(Supermarket) is open 24/7/. I don't think I would consider Sao Paulo a 24 hour city.

Vegas
Hong Kong? Tokyo?

Despite public transportation, SP it is a 24hs city. IMO. Good snacks can be found and great bars who serve meals also.
Extra and Pão de Açúcar are 24/7, both very easy to find. Drugstores are 24/7 at several neighborhoods, 24/7 ATMs, but I'm not sure about money exchange.
In Sp you can find a club to party after 6am to 2p.m, which we call " After hours".
