The 19 Best Bachelor Party Destinations

Plan a trip that the groom will never forget.

If you've been selected to plan a bachelor party , there's probably one main question all members of the crew are likely asking you: "Where are we going!?" Before you choose your destination, though, you'll want to make sure you lock in a few details, like figuring out the guest list and the exact travel dates.

"When planning a bachelor party, it is important to plan in advance," explains Allison Odhner, founder and lead planner of Bach to Basic. "Typically, it takes a bit [of time] to rally a group to commit, submit funds, book flights, etc., so the more time the planner has to wrangle the group, the better," she explains. What's more, in terms of timing, Odhner says that six months ahead of the bachelor party is when planning should begin. "Of course, we can put together an event in a shorter amount of time, but if you are hoping to get first dibs on everything and the best experience with the least amount of stress , planning as far out as possible is incredibly helpful."

In addition to getting plans on the books months ahead of the trip, Odhner also emphasizes the importance of making sure logistics and expectations are discussed by the entire group. "Be upfront about costs and a general plan to get everyone on board and encourage guests to purchase flights in a timely manner so they are committed to the trip," she says.

Without further ado, whether you’re looking for an all-out party scene or a chill getaway, your destination bachelor party planning begins now! From warm and energetic cities like Miami to laid-back, outdoorsy spots like Alaska , here are the 19 best destinations for a bachelor party of a lifetime.

Miami, Florida

Courtesy of W South Beach

Where to stay: Arguably one of the hottest spots in Miami, W South Beach has become a go-to for grooms-to-be. Go all out for the E-WOW Penthouse or opt for one of the triplex bungalows with a private plunge pool. Regardless of choice, every room has ocean views, plus access to poolside cabanas, rooftop courts (tennis and basketball!), and a dedicated W Insider–available 24/7 for any request.

What to do: On the mainland, visit the Wynwood district for a vibrant street art scene. Make sure to book at least one dinner out at a top-tier restaurant like Osteria Morini Miami Beach or Giselle Miami .

Judd Lake, Alaska

Where to stay: Settle into Tordrillo Mountain Lodge , where a helicopter serves as your personal chauffeur to everything this magical terrain has to offer. Packages include round-trip floatplane flights, lodging, gourmet meals, guide services, fishing equipment, a fitness center, a copper hot tub overlooking the lake, and a wood-fired sauna.

What to do: Thrill-seeking groups will be enthralled by the expanse of untouched Alaskan wilderness surrounding Judd Lake and the chance to go water skiing, wakeboarding, glacier hiking, or wildlife spotting in the Tordrillo Mountain Range. In the summer, the famous Kings & Corn experience offers up heli-skiing over corn snow in the morning and catching king salmon in the afternoon.

Nassau, the Bahamas

Where to stay: Nassau’s Baha Mar houses three major players in the hospitality game: Rosewood, SLS, and Grand Hyatt, but it’s SLS Baha Mar that sets the tone for a larger-than-life bachelor experience with playful sophistication and spirited day-to-nightlife activities.

What to do: Baha Mar beats Vegas any day with more than 40 restaurants and lounges, the largest casino in the Caribbean, an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus golf course, a buzzy beach club, and a brand new waterpark—all set against a breathtaking Bahamian backdrop. You never need to leave the resort, but if you do, take a 25-minute boat ride to Sandy Toes Rose Island where you'll be soaking up the sun on the uninhabited private isle. Go for a dip with the world-famous swimming pigs, or snorkel in the sparkling turquoise waters.

New Orleans, Louisiana

Where to stay: Just northeast of the French Quarter, you’ll find Hotel Peter & Paul tucked away in the eclectic Marigny neighborhood. The church-turned-hotel is the perfect respite from a night of carousing and a solid home base for exploring the jazz scene on Frenchmen Street. Steeped in history, the hotel just launched a self-guided audio journey immersing guests in stories from locals who once lived, studied, and worshipped there.

What to do: Beyond the quintessential Bourbon Street bar-hopping, explore Louisiana’s wetlands with a swamp tour or spend the day on the water with a fishing boat charter. Pick up speed at NOLA Motorsports Park where you can race in a Ferrari (yes, you actually get to drive it!), and then slow things down with a hand-rolled stick at the Cigar Factory . When it comes to dining out, you should opt to do this at least once—and your crew won't be disappointed by Dooky Chase’s Restaurant , which opened its doors for business in 1941 (its storied history is just as good as its famous Creole Gumbo).

Las Vegas, Nevada

Courtesy of Wynn Las Vegas

Where to stay: To no surprise, Las Vegas is a destination to consider if planning a trip that you and you're crew are sure to love. Specifically, when it comes to selecting the best place to stay for the weekend, the Wynn Las Vegas (and Encore, its sister property) is an absolute top choice. The property is home to over 25 restaurants—including the 1950s-inspired supper club, Delilah , and seafood restaurant Lakeside —in addition to several day and night clubs, like Encore Beach Club . The best part? You're located right on The Strip, so you and your guys can easily experience and explore the Las Vegas lifestyle.

What to do: While there are hundreds of activities to enjoy during your time in "Sin City," it wouldn't be a bachelor party without spending a night out at some of the most popular clubs. XS Nightclub , in particular, is known for having the biggest events, hosted by some of the most famous DJs around the world (including Marshmello, Diplo, The Chainsmokers, and more!). Want to do something a bit more adventurous? Consider zip lining on Fremont Street in Downtown Las Vegas .

Lexington, Kentucky

Where to stay: Whether spending the weekend touring the bustling food scene, sampling bourbon flights, or seeking outdoor adventure from bike trails and nearby hiking areas, 21c Museum Hotel is the perfect place to retire from all the action. Located downtown at the intersection of quaint southern charm and big-city style, it’s the ideal home base for exploring the city.

What to do: Adventurers can rent canoes, hike the Kentucky River Palisades , or zipline 185 feet over the Boone Creek Gorge. Artistic types will enjoy the art scene in the hotel museum or downtown, and lovers of fine liquor will be in paradise among 14 of the state’s largest distilleries along the Bourbon Trail.

Necker Island, British Virgin Islands

Courtesy of Necker Island

Where to stay: Extravagantly tailored for the affluent island hopper and his crew, Sir Richard Branson’s Necker Island is the most over-the-top of bachelor party destinations. Opt for the island's partnership with evoJets , where you’ll travel in style with round-trip flights on a six-passenger jet that delivers you to the luxuries of The Bali Lo complex where a spacious two-story suite and private pool await your entourage.

What to do: The evoJets package also includes complimentary water sports equipment, so you can spend your days kite-surfing, wakeboarding, paddleboarding, or sailing—and a disco DJ is included for one night during your stay for a memorable beachside party.

Ashland, Oregon

Courtesy of Ashland Springs Hotel

Where to stay: Nestled in the downtown area of the Rogue River Valley, Ashland Springs Hotel is perfectly central to an exciting local food scene, a diverse wine region, and the endless outdoor recreation that Oregon has to offer.

What to do: For a diverse group of groomsmen, Southern Oregon is home to a host of crowd-pleasing activities from daring adventures to open-air performance art. Enjoy white water rafting by day, then take the crew on a little wine-tasting tour around any (or all!) of the seven wineries and tasting rooms in the area. End the day with an indulgent dinner at MÄS with Oregon’s noted celebrity chef Josh Dorcak.

Punta de Mita, Mexico

Courtesy of W Punta de Mita

Where to stay: W Punta de Mita offers a surf-inspired escape for the groom seeking a laid-back getaway filled with sun, surf, and plenty of tequila. The property is situated on one of Mexico’s best surf breaks and features an adults-only oceanfront pool . Check out the Mezcal Lab for a private tequila-tasting experience that can be arranged for small groups.

What to do: Venture to the nearby village of Sayulita to embark on a whale-watching tour, go for a private catamaran party, or catch local surfers in action while sipping a cold drink on the southern shores of Riviera Nayarit.

London, England

Courtesy of Nobu Hotel London Shoreditch

Where to stay: Nobu Hotel London Shoreditch offers the ultimate accommodation for a destination bachelor party. The Nobu Penthouse Suite is exclusively accessed via a private elevator and features a separate lounge, dining space, kitchen, bar area, and private balcony.

What to do: In London's edgy East End, Shoreditch is home to an eclectic mix of boutiques, restaurants, bars, and underground clubs. For the debonair, the West End welcomes you to browse the city’s famous department stores: Harrods, Selfridge's, and Liberty London. For sightseeing in style, tap the experts from Humphrey’s of Henley and hire your own skipper to cruise the Thames River. And if you’re looking for gourmet gastronomy, dine on signature dishes such as black miso cod at Nobu Restaurant Shoreditch .

Hella, Iceland

Courtesy of Hotel Ranga

Where to stay: Head south in the land of fire and ice and stay at the Hotel Rangá for a lodge-like retreat in the island’s adventure capital. Under Iceland’s clear skies, the resort is one of the best places to see the famous Aurora Borealis while you soak in a geothermal hot tub.

What to do: Explore the country's black sand beaches, glaciers, and geysers for an otherworldly outing with the crew. Take an ATV to an ice cave, chase the Northern Lights in a Super Jeep, hike to the hot springs, or rent a car for the famous Golden Circle road trip. At the end of the day, take in some stargazing with Hotel Ranga’s resident astronomer at the Ranga Observatory . Note that even the dining is venturesome here; at Restaurant Rangá , the fare includes reindeer carpaccio, smoked puffin, and Icelandic lamb.

Bluefields Bay, Jamaica

Courtesy of Bluefields Bay Villas

Where to stay: Bluefields Bay is the perfect destination for the bachelor who wants to party on a desert island while still being close to the action. At the newly renovated Bluefields Bay Villas , groups can reserve an entire villa that boasts sprawling sea and mountain views, a personal chef, a 24-hour butler, and a private pool.

What to do: The six-bedroom San Michele villa comes with its own private island reached by footbridge where you can have a drink, take a nap, or enjoy the turquoise views. Gather the guys to enjoy cigars and rum tasting at Appleton Estate , have a nature-centric day at YS Falls , or embark on a boat excursion to Floyd’s Pelican Bar—a thatched-roof watering hole in the middle of the Caribbean Sea .

Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Courtesy of Hotel Jackson

Where to stay: Located in the heart of Jackson Hole, Hotel Jackson is the best base camp for the bachelor who wants to live out his Wild West fantasy.

What to do: Endless expeditions await in the summer season where you can round up the boys for horseback riding, kayaking, hiking, or exploring the nearby Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. If you’re planning a pre-wedding party in winter, this powder playground serves up some of the most challenging routes for snowsports.

Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Courtesy of El Mangroove

Where to stay: Situated on the northwest coast, El Mangroove is all about location as the closest beach resort to an airport in all of Costa Rica (20 minutes from landing to the sand!). The all-inclusive hotel is complemented by environmentally-friendly design and values—twice a week, guests of El Mangroove are invited to plant native mangrove trees nearby.

What to do: In a town abounding with exotic wildlife, scenic waterfalls, and breathtaking coastlines, you don’t necessarily need to do anything here. But for the movers and shakers, there’s the Rincon de la Vieja Volcano National Park, fishing, beach hopping, and some of the best surfing in the world, of course.

Placencia, Belize

Courtesy of Sirenian Bay Resort & Villas

Where to stay : Belize is the place to be for the aquatic adventurer. Sirenian Bay Resort & Villas will feel like a home away from home in one of the beachfront bungalows, villas, or apartments, and the resort features a swim-up bar, hot tubs, complimentary kayaks, and paddleboards. Not to mention, it's located near some of the world’s best spots for snorkeling and scuba diving.

What to do: Among the most popular diving sites are the Belize Barrier Reef, Silk Caye, Laughing Bird Caye, and Glover’s Reef Atoll. Captain Jak’s can take your party on private boat excursions to a different location each day so you can fit them all in. On land, fly through the jungle on a zip line, spot exotic wildlife in the jungle, or explore nearby ancient Maya Temples.

Tucson, Arizona

Courtesy of Visit Tucson

Where to stay: Tucson's dude ranches are the quintessential place to immerse in the authentic Southwest scene. Try your hand at archery or enjoy sunset horseback rides at Tanque Verde Ranch . If rodeos and fireside entertainment are more your thing, settle in at White Stallion Ranch .

What to do: Tucson's downtown has been the city's hub of activity for well over a century, but the past several years have seen a rebirth. New shops, bars, breweries, and some of Tucson's hottest restaurants are proud to call downtown home. There’s a buzzing nightlife scene where you can find everything from saloons to sports bars to LGBTQ+ clubs. Of course, you can’t visit Tucson without venturing out to the cacti-dotted desert where you can climb Finger Rock or stroll along the Rillito riverbed. As a UNESCO-listed capital of gastronomy, you’ll want to try as much local fare as possible. Try the Fry Bread at Cafe Santa Rosa , get a chimichanga from El Charro , or snag a seat on the West Patio at The Grill .

Manchester, Vermont

Courtesy of The Equinox Golf Resort & Spa

Where to stay : The Equinox Golf Resort & Spa is the ideal destination for the discerning outdoorsman. Located in the heart of Vermont’s Green Mountains, The Equinox is surrounded by stunning natural landscapes no matter the season, and this perennial playground has much to offer year-round.

What to do: Go off-road with the Land Rover Driving School , learn English Churchill technique while shooting clays at the Orvis Shooting School , handle a trained hawk with a falconry master, or take up fly fishing on Vermont’s Battenkill River. Alternatively, unwind with a spa day or take a last swing before the ring at The Golf Club .

Palm Springs, California

Courtesy of Kimpton The Rowan Palm Springs

Where to stay: With an average of 350 days of sunshine, an endless number of pools, and a classically cool culture, Palm Springs is a no-brainer for a beachless bachelor party destination. As a well-known LGBTQ-friendly destination, bachelor groups of all varieties will feel welcome here. Set up camp at Kimpton The Rowan Palm Springs , centrally located in the redeveloped downtown area. Here, urban enchantments meet epic scenery with contemporary suites boasting floor-to-ceiling windows and hiking trails from the hotel’s backyard.

What to do: The springs, the weather, the people—everything is hot in Palm Springs. Chill out in the city’s only rooftop pool at The Rowan , ogle the world’s largest collection of mid-century designs, or take a breezy Red Jeep tour through the Indian Canyons. Do dinner at Mr. Lyons , a favorite of legends like Frank Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe, brunch at Cheeky’s and order the bacon flight, or grab the Five Spice Crispy Chicken and a craft beer for lunch at Rooster and the Pig .

Austin, Texas

Courtesy of Lone Star Court

Where to stay: For a small-town vibe with metropolitan energy, Austin is the perfect party town for a varied group of groomsmen. City slickers will feel at home downtown at Hotel ZaZa , while rustic gents will enjoy lounging in the landscaped courtyards at Lone Star Court .

What to do: Golf at one of the famed courses of Hill Country, watch the bats’ nightly flight from the Congress Avenue Bridge, stroll the quirky stretch that is Sixth Street, or escape the urban scene and venture to West Austin for more of a local vibe and lakeside lazing. Barbecue and Tex-Mex are essential in Austin. For the former, Franklin Barbecue is legendary for its ultra-tender brisket. For the latter, try the nopalitos tacos at El Alma .

The Top Bachelor Party Destinations for 2023-2024

So you're ready to roll up your sleeves and source an ideal location for your group of friends. You've come to the right place.

Miami, Florida

Easily one of the best bachelor party destinations in the US, Miami is a prime option for groups that want to party hard near the beach. This Florida city is renowned for its incredible nightlife and toney dining scene. You'll find luxury at every turn while plenty of bars and clubs stay open well into the early hours of the morning. But the fun doesn't stop when the sun comes up. During the day, bachelor parties can take advantage of boat parties in South Beach, the buzz of activity along Ocean Drive, water sports in Miami Beach, and delicious Cuban cuisine in Little Havana.

New York, New York

You don't need a table at Tao to have a good time in New York City. The City That Never Sleeps offers just about everything a bachelor party needs: a thriving food scene that caters to group dining options, centrally-located hotels with dizzying views of the city, world-class bars and breweries across every borough, and plenty of things to do from Avenues A through C.

Aspen, Colorado

If the promise of Aspen's four mountains isn't enough to entice the group, the après-ski to follow will get the entire bachelor party voting for a winter bachelor party at this luxurious ski town.

Orlando, Florida

There are a few reasons why bachelor party groups will turn to Orlando for a getaway, mainly for golf and theme parks. Orlando is home to Disney World and Universal Studios. It's also home to championship-level golf courses and other outdoor activities. If this sounds idyllic to you and your group, cap it with a fishing boat charter.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida

If Miami's dizzying energy feels a bit out of reach, types who prefer to chill should consider nearby Fort Lauderdale. The beach town boasts over 20 miles of sandy beaches and resort stays that are much more affordable than what you'll find in the 305. Plus, Fort Lauderdale has a lively bar scene without the astronomical bottle service costs.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Craft beer is something Philly does incredibly well, and there are lots of breweries that would be happy to prove it. The perfect pairing for that locally-brewed beer, though, is none other than the city's crowning achievement: the cheesesteak. Groups can run circles around Pat's or Geno's , or indulge in the $140 Wagyu beef option offered by Barclay Prime . When bachelor parties aren't indulging in the local food establishments, they'll be pleased to find a booming nightlife scene and sports culture. Plus, the City of Brotherly Love is known for its charming neighborhoods. After stopping by the Rocky Statue (and the obligatory run up the steps) in the Art Museum District, bachelor parties can brush up on history lessons with a visit to Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell . Or, skip it altogether and head to the Delaware River waterfront by Old City or the restaurants of Fishtown to cap off a successful day.

Tampa, Florida

Sunny Tampa is a great bachelor party destination for groups that prefer golfing and boating. This party-ready location offers a lot of the same as neighboring Miami and Fort Lauderdale (minus the long lines to get into bars and nightclubs). Nightlife aside, outdoor activities abound at this coastal location.

Boston, Massachusetts

A prime East Coast bachelor party destination, Boston is an ideal choice for groups that enjoy the feeling of a charming historic city with modern flourishes. Beer aficionados and New England sports fans will especially appreciate a weekend getaway by the Seaport. Boston is also a foodie haven, boasting fresh seafood at every turn—we'll take the chowder and the lobster bisque.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Red funicular trolley overlooking Pittsburgh

Much like Philly, Pittsburgh is a city brimming with craft breweries and whiskey distilleries, which makes a tour the perfect activity for daytime revelers. Another fun fact: Pittsburgh's nightlife is hard to beat with more bars per capita than any US city.

Key West, Florida

Key West is another Florida gem that's perfect for groups that prefer a beach bachelor party. Grooms and groomsmen in search of a laid-back experience will feel at ease in the Keys. They'll be able to enjoy water activities by day (snorkeling and kayaking are musts), followed by visits to the Hemingway House and Southernmost Point. Foodies will thrive with the plethora of seafood and cocktail options. Or combine both for a mouthwatering shrimp cocktail combo.

The Poconos, Pennsylvania

Within driving distance to New York or Philly, the Poconos is Pennsylvania's mountain region full of scenic stays and hiking trails. For those seeking an adrenaline rush, mountain biking trails are an option too. After an adventurous morning of hiking, mountain biking, white water rafting, and more, there are plenty of places to grab a drink, including breweries, distilleries and wineries. Cozy, laid-back bars or a toasty fire pit with ice-cold beers offer the perfect setting to end the night.

Chicago, Illinois

Chicago is a popular bachelor party destination for a variety of reasons. For starters, the city has a top-tier food scene. Between deep-dish pizza, Chicago-style hot dogs and some of the country's best steakhouses, no one will go hungry. The city is also located right on Lake Michigan, opening up opportunities for boating, water sports and beach days. Finally, live music makes the nightlife in Chicago one of a kind, with country bars, blues clubs, and more at your fingertips.

Cleveland, Ohio

Don't discount the Forest City on your search for a bachelor party location in the Midwest. Beer lovers might never want to leave, as Cleveland is bursting with craft breweries for you and your crew to tour. The city also has a thriving art and culture scene, including the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for music enthusiasts. In terms of nightlife, Cleveland has plenty to offer. (Think jazz clubs, cider houses, piano bars and more.)

St. Louis, Missouri

There's something about the Midwest and craft beer. St. Louis is another top bachelor party destination for any groom who likes sampling local brews on his travels. During the day, soak up the city's eclectic vibe with some sightseeing (make sure the Gateway Arch is on your list) or catch a baseball game at Busch Stadium. At night, St. Louis is known for its blues clubs and other live music venues.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin

A visit to the Miller Brewery Tour (or some of Milwaukee's microbreweries) is the perfect way to kick off your trip to the city. The perfect accompaniment to that cold brew? German-inspired cuisine that'll pretty much transport you to Oktoberfest. For those with a sweet tooth, frozen custard and cream puffs are dessert staples here. Aside from the epic food and drink, Milwaukee is a great place to explore history and architecture. Plus, it's home to the Harley-Davidson Museum.

Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri

Planning a relaxing weekend in the Midwest? Lake of the Ozarks should be your first port of call. With opportunities for golfing, lounging on the water and drinking plenty of beer, it's a pretty ideal bachelor party destination. Our company data shows that pool days are a popular bachelor party activity—something you can definitely do at Lake of the Ozarks. And if you're up for more of an adventure, you can also try kayaking, pontooning and other water sports.

Kansas City, Missouri

If you're looking for a party destination in the Midwest, put Kansas City at the top of your list. There's almost nothing this city doesn't have when it comes to awesome nightlife. Depending on the group's mood, you can check out the many nightclubs, go to tap rooms, distilleries and craft cocktail bars or head straight to the casino. During the day, there's a lot to explore in the city, including museums, murals and an amazing BBQ food scene.

Houston, Texas

Known to some as the world capital of space exploration (and to the rest of us, the birthplace of Beyoncé), Houston is a city that should be on everyone's bucket list. If you're thinking of heading there on a bachelor party trip, there are a few things you should check out ASAP. See if the Toyota Center has a basketball game, concert or other show running that your crew would be interested in seeing. Art and culture enthusiasts will enjoy a trip downtown to Houston's Theater District, while foodies will appreciate the city's unique cuisine (Viet-Cajun crawfish, anyone?).

Austin, Texas

Houston isn't the only option for a Texas bachelor bash. Austin is a top bachelor party destination for numerous reasons. For starters, ATX has a versatile food scene, offering everything from comforting Tex-Mex cuisine to gourmet fusion establishments. There's also a variety of outdoor activities on offer to suit the vibe you're going for. Charter a boat on Lake Austin or kick things up a notch and go paddleboarding on Lake Travis. Hip bars and live music venues contribute to the city's vibrant nightlife.

Savannah, Georgia

Looking for a Southern city that has it all? If you choose Savannah as your bachelor party destination, you can take advantage of bars, beaches, top-class restaurants and over 50 golf courses. History lovers will enjoy learning about the city's "haunted" past, while foodies will appreciate the great food (including offerings from world-class chefs). At night, there's plenty more to explore, whether you're in the mood for nightclubs or a rooftop bar at a boutique hotel.

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

If the groom's favorite activities involve golfing and wading (or diving) into the Atlantic, Myrtle Beach will be his ideal getaway. This South Carolina destination is the ideal spot for more relaxed activities, like spending lounging on the beach, deep-sea fishing, and practicing your golf swing. Once the group is ready for a night of fun, it's time to take them bar hopping, which just happens to be one of the most popular activities for bachelor parties, according to our company data.

Nashville, Tennessee

Nashville is one of our favorite places for a bachelor party, and it's the perfect location for any groom who loves country music. From the historic significance of Music Row to the bustling nightlife of Honky Tonk Highway, Nashville is filled with meaningful and exciting places to visit. Whether you decide to settle in for the night at one of the city's live music venues or spend your time hopping from bar to bar, you won't be bored for a second. Entertainment aside, the traditional Southern cuisine is pretty darn good too.

Charleston, South Carolina

The food scene is what really sets Charleston apart from other cities in the South. While you'll find delicious eats at pretty much any of these bachelor party destinations, Charleston goes above and beyond. Don't leave without trying at least some of the locale's renowned dishes, like she-crab soup, shrimp and grits, and hush puppies. To wash it down, check out one of the city's rooftop cocktail bars. Once your crew is fed and watered, look out for live music and dancing.

Atlanta, Georgia

If the groom-to-be is looking for a lively vacation, there's always something to do in Atlanta. With the Braves, Falcons and Hawks calling Atlanta home, there's a sport for every season. Plus, the city has an eclectic music scene with alumni including John Mayer and Usher. Even if your dates don't line up with one of Atlanta's amazing music festivals, you'll likely be able to catch a concert or show somewhere. When it comes to the nightlife scene, there's plenty going on there too.

Dallas, Texas

If we haven't already inspired you to plan a Texas bachelor party, Dallas is another excellent city to consider. If the groom is really into football, try to schedule your trip so it coincides with a Dallas Cowboys home game (or if he's into Hockey, the Dallas Stars). Vodka distilleries offer a nice break from the usual beer and whiskey experience (but those are on offer too if that's more to your crew's tastes). Plus, there are lots of unique activities you can do during the day that'll make your trip extra memorable, such as axe throwing.

New Orleans, Louisiana

When it comes to choosing a bachelor or bachelorette party destination in the South, nothing compares to NOLA. Michelin-star restaurants, world-famous festivals (we're talking Mardi Gras) and the legendary Bourbon Street make this city a must-visit at some point in your life (and what better time than a bachelor party?). While you're recovering from the city's buzzing bar scene, spend some time in nature exploring the nearby swamp and its intriguing inhabitants with an airboat tour.

Las Vegas, Nevada

Sin City is the quintessential bachelor party destination (and a no-brainer for any groom who wants to hit the casinos). But casinos and fancy hotels aside, Vegas has a lot more to offer. Artist residencies mean that there's pretty much always a show to catch, and that's not to mention the buzzing nightlife waiting for you afterward. If your crew wants to party, there are day clubs as well as nightclubs, plus countless opportunities for pool parties. For those looking to wind down, check out one of the nearby golf clubs.

Los Angeles, California

Los Angeles is another city that made the top 10 bachelor party destinations, according to our company data. There's much to do across the sprawling City of Angels. Groups can hit Southern California's world-famous beaches during the day or they can opt for an active hike followed by Erewhon smoothies (IYKYK). At night, a scene-and-be-seen group dinner is a must in West Hollywood or Beverly Hills (this editor personally prefers Manhattan Beach), followed by a round of bar-hopping and clubbing.

Denver, Colorado

Based on our company data, Denver is another perennial bachelor party favorite. It's a winning destination for adventurous grooms with an interest in rock climbing, mountain biking, white water rafting, ziplining or all of the above. A trip to Denver is the perfect time to explore Rocky Mountain National Park in all its scenic beauty. Of course, with all that action you're bound to work up a sweat. Cool down with a refreshing brew from one of the city's many craft breweries.

Seattle, Washington

One thing's certain in Seattle: the bachelor party will be well-caffeinated as they take in the multitude of sights around town. Though the Pacific Northwest may not boast the same sunny weather as its California counterparts, the destination is truly a great place for groups of friends. Outdoor activities abound, with opportunities for water sports (think: kayaking and paddleboarding) as well as hiking, bouldering, and more. For foodies, Seattle is home to one of the country's longest-running farmer's markets: Pike Place Market.

San Francisco, California

Colorful boats docked at Fisherman's Wharf

This tourist hot spot has a lot to offer for bachelor parties. During the day, you can explore unmissable landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge and Fisherman's Wharf. At night, experience the meal of a lifetime at one of the city's Michelin-star restaurants before exploring San Fran's amazing nightlife on a bar crawl. There are also some great spots nearby for outdoorsy folks, like Yosemite National Park and Muir Woods.

Lake Tahoe, California

Lake Tahoe is one of the best places to go for a bachelor party if you're in search of adventure. From water sports (think: stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking) to snow-based activities (think: skiing and snowmobiling), there's something for everyone. Those who prefer dry land can enjoy hiking, ziplining, and mountain biking, while the chilled-out bachelor crew can charter a luxury boat. Sounds like a jam-packed itinerary.

San Diego, California

Looking for a more laid-back location in Cali? San Diego might just be the best bachelor party destination for you. Fill up your days with golf, cruising on a yacht or getting your surf on. San Diego is also a prime destination for anyone who loves to fish, with opportunities for some big catches. Toast to a relaxing day with your crew at any one of the city's craft breweries, bars or nightclubs.

Scottsdale, Arizona

Scottsdale is another great destination for adventurers. If the groom has always wanted to explore the desert, now's the perfect time. Mountain biking, hiking and driving ATVs will get your blood pumping, while Scottsdale's world-class spas offer a sanctuary to wind down. But don't let the luxury spas and desert surroundings fool you—Scottsdale has a pretty impressive party scene too. Get ready for pool parties, nightclubs and rooftop bars.

Palm Springs, California

Palm Springs is far more than just Coachella and Joshua Tree, though both make it unique. Bachelor parties will find beautiful golf courses and a thriving local nightlife scene (we're talking bars and casinos).

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

From Califonia, Cabo is basically interstate travel. West Coast dwellers know this idyllic destination is perfect for romance (think a honeymoon or a couple's getaway). But Cabo is an intense party town that attracts partygoers worldwide, which makes it an excellent choice for a bachelorette or bachelor party destination.

Cancun, Mexico

Easily accessible from the East Coast, Cancun is world-renowned for revelry and all-inclusive resorts. With its sandy beaches and a booming nightlife scene across Playa del Carmen and Tulum, a short flight into Cancun is exactly what the group ordered… along with tequila shots.

It may seem like an unconventional choice, but Costa Rica is an underrated bachelor party destination. Here's why: anyone who loves adventure and action will find it in droves in this biodiverse Central American country. Costa Rica has a renowned surfing scene (just look up Jaco) as well as some of the world's most amazing beaches and towns. It wouldn't be a bachelor party without ziplining through the rainforest near Arenal or Tenorio National Park.

Iceland has long been a favorite among adventurous types and couples planning romantic vacations, but we'll let you in on a secret: Iceland is a fantastic bachelor party destination. (This editor can tell you she's met multiple groups from the US while attending an Iceland bachelorette party in 2018.) By night, Reykjavík has a sublime bar scene and, by day, groups can drive around the island in search of sightseeing and adventure. You'll return home with memories of humbling waterfalls, hulking glaciers and the dazzling Northern Lights (if the group is patient and lucky).

Montreal, Canada

Looking to plan a big Canadian bash? Montreal is one of the best places for a bachelor party in Canada. The charming French-speaking destination overflows with amazing restaurants, bars and nightclubs. It's also home to the country's second-largest amusement park and the headquarters of Cirque du Soleil , so there's no shortage of thrills to be had.

Vineyard hop in Portugal

In Alentejo, the hot and dry wine region southeast of Lisbon, vintners are tapping into a global revival of an ancient technique: fermenting wines in clay vessels, or talhas .

Bachelor’s will fall for the word Goa. Hippies from all over the world inspire that sect of solo travellers to keep their tracks right to reach the land of beaches every vacation they have. An eventful holiday time is not just a promise but it is the ego-hurting attitude of this tiny state lying close to the Arabian Sea.

8. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Rio in Brazil is always found in a carnival mood. The travelers are surprised to see the celebration mode constantly on everywhere in the city.

Rio does not care about what you are doing but gives you abundant happiness alone. A backpacking tour is more than enough to find reasons to linger and hang on to celebrate the music-filled nightlife.

11. Macau, China

Macau allows its visitors to take the glimpses of its festive mode fast and fall in love with everything you see here. The bright colours of gambling and glittering pubs give the city the touch of Las Vegas. Macau never turns old as its history dates back to hundreds of years ago. The consistent audacity the city has keeps its pulses overarching the magnanimous sights around. There is no surprise if youngsters from all over the world find blissful days at Macau, regardless the money they spend here is countless.

12. Tel Aviv, Israel

You would be dubious why Tel Aviv is a part of this list. But to surprise you, Tel Aviv, the second largest city in Israel has a lot more to offer than it is expected to. It is vivacious, cosmopolitan and to top all of them, it is open to experimenting innovative artistic styles and culinary. The light red oxide colour on the beaches outshines especially during sunset. A relaxed, undisturbed time is what your soul is looking for, then Tel Aviv is a one-word answer.

13. Seoul, South Korea

The bright, flashy neon colours in Seoul seems to be insomniacs and the skyscrapers arrayed in one line on the streets of this 24/7 city are a major part of the regular life. The authentic Korean dishes are enough to arrange a feast for your tummy and this is one of the main reasons why people just love Seoul. The temples, historical structures, pagodas, palaces, mountains and trekking trails, adventure spots are worth depicting features and backpackers and solo travelers would unknowingly say yes to the proposal made by this design-friendly city.

14. Hvar, Croatia

We have to keep glamour adjacent to the name Hvar. A free, casually living town of Croatia now is an undeniable stop for many of the solo bachelor travellers. The bay town still has the charm enhanced by the renovated 13th-century old walls. The palaces which display the Gothic architecture predominantly, the beautifully designed traffic-free roads and the vibrant nightlife that spreads the exotic aroma of food and the traditional drinks are clustered at a centre which is overlooking the finely arranged boats on the sea.

15. Leh Ladakh, India

Adventure lovers, especially young vibrant hearts who are celebrating their lives without concerning any external pullbacks find happiness at its best in Ladakh . The most happening location in India is Ladakh where the continuous rubbing of bike tires on the rugged valleys can be seen and heard, where the clear sounds made by the trekking boots while they come in contact with the stones on the trails are familiar, where the wooing wind floating through the densely arranged oak and rhododendron forests is a friend of the travelers.

best bachelor party destinations for young grooms

So you got engaged? CONGRATS DUDE! That’s literally major and I’m a sucker for a cute wedding. But the wedding bit probably won’t be for a while, and only after weeks/months of planning for the big event. Thankfully, the engagement period isn’t all stress and worry! It’s also filled with excitement and celebration! And, most importantly, your bachelor/stag party! Considering you’re on my site, I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume you like traveling! You may even be considering a lit party with your homies somewhere internationally! But if you’re having trouble narrowing down the location, no worries! With the help of bloggers who have had their parties abroad, we’ve rounded up the best bachelor party destinations around the world for your convenience!

Also, I know these kinds of parties have different names around depending on where you’re from. Stag Do. Buck’s night. Bull’s party. Etc. etc. Since this is a round-up post from bloggers around the world, they may refer to it differently throughout this post. Just a heads up.

Also also, just because these parties are coined ‘YoUr LaSt NigHt oF fReEdOm’ or whatever, that doesn’t mean you can just go out and act a complete sleazy fool. Remember, at your bachelor party – YOU ARENT ACTUALLY SINGLE. You still have a fiance(e) to answer to when the night’s over. So make sure to plan your bachelor party accordingly so you still have someone to get married to at the end of the day.

Now then, without further ado, I present you with some of the best bachelor party destinations that will absolutely blow your group’s mind!

Table of Contents

North America

By North America, I’m including Central America and the Caribbean as well. Because, yanno, geography and whatnot. That said, I am specifically leaving out cities in the United States of America because I have tons of blog posts already about group trips throughout the states. If you want one in the USA, check out those posts based on what kind of destination you want!

Cultural Cities in the USA
Foodie Cities in the USA
Roadtrip States in the USA
Artsy Cities in the USA

But if you want your bachelor party outside of the USA, this post has you covered! Starting with….

Mexico City, Mexico

By Matt from Wheatless Wanderlust

Whether you’re looking to get drunk on mezcal, do a guided taco tour, or you want to learn all about Mexican history and culture, you’ll find plenty of options in Mexico City. Which makes it a virtually perfect bachelor party destination, whatever vibe you’re looking for. It’s a gigantic city – the biggest in North America by population, in fact. There is something for everyone to fall in love with.

Stay at Condesa DF boutique hotel, located in the charming neighborhood of La Condesa. Condesa DF has a rooftop bar that is a great spot to toast to the bachelor before heading out to explore the area’s incredible food scene for dinner, which will come with a shockingly affordable price tag . If you love food and want to learn about Mexico’s rich food culture, make sure to add a cooking class and a street food tour (that means tacos, lots of tacos) to your Mexico City itinerary .

The ruins of Teotihuacán and its towering pyramids are a short drive from the city center if your group is into history and exploring! While you’re in Mexico City, you’re going to want to try mezcal. Either do a guided tasting, or head to La Clandestina to choose from their long and diverse list of mezcals. Or, take your shots (literally) at some of Mexico City’s best nightclubs like Janis, Patrick Miller (el Patrick), or El Marrakech!

Marigot Bay, St Lucia

By Darek from Darek and Gosia

best places in the Caribbean for a bachelor party

Your bachelor party is one of the most important days of your life. You should probably want it to be unforgettable, right? St. Lucia is a stunning Caribbean island that is a perfect bachelor party destination!

In the heart of Saint Lucia lies Marigot Bay – probably the most beautiful bay in the Caribbean. The Marigot Bay Resort and Marina is a 5-star luxury resort offering an all-inclusive package. There are 3 restaurants, a swim-up bar, and 2 outdoor pools. In addition, there are many options for water sports, sailing, and snorkeling. It’s a great option if anyone in your group is new to water activities ! Plus, the resort makes it easy to plan itineraries and excursions! And who doesn’t love relaxing on the beach??

If your group is more inclined to land activities, hikers will love scaling Mount Soufrière, the pungent volcano that emits sulfurous steam, or exploring Sulphur Springs Park , the Caribbean’s only “drive-in volcano!”

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

By James from Cruise West Coast

Puerto Vallarta is a fantastic destination that doesn’t get as much love as it’s neighbor to the north, Cabo San Lucas. However, as the gateway to Jalisco (the state where Tequila is from) it it should be on every guy’s list of places for an awesome destination bachelor party .

Contrary to what you might assume, Puerto Vallarta is more than just a white-washed tourist destination for rich Americans. While clearly the bulk of visitors are from the states, since it is only a short flight from Los Angeles and a prime Mexican Riviera cruise destination, the city as a thriving and diverse economy that includes Mexican tourists and local residents as well. This allows Puerto Vallarta to be a city that is safe to explore beyond the walls of your resort.

For guys planning a bachelor party, the possibilities are endless. There are plenty of clubs, bars, and restaurants to be found along the Malecon (boardwalk), as well as throughout the Zona Romantica. Take an evening “ Taco Tour ” with Vallarta Food Tours where you’ll explore food stands across the city from churros to marlin tacos and everything in between.

During the day, Puerto Vallarta offers fantastic golf, fishing, snorkeling, and beaches. In fact, a charter boat makes a perfect bachelor party idea and since the Bay of Banderas gets extremely deep very quickly you don’t need to go out to sea to find great fishing!

South America

Where the beaches are warm and the scenery is breathtaking. Grooms who want to take their bachelor party to the great continent of South America are probably on the more adventurous side. And adventure is EXACTLY what they will find in these destinations.

Cartagena, Colombia

By Adam from Cartagena Explorer

If your idea of a bachelor party includes good food, strong drinks, dancing, and partying on a beach, possibly with a boat involved. That makes Cartagena, Colombia one of the best bachelor party destinations!

There’s plenty to do and see in Cartagena during the day, whether it’s touring the charming colonial city and stopping in for a cold drink or famous Colombia coffee inside the historic Walled City . Then in the evening, stop into any of the many nightclubs to get your dance on, like Bazurto Social Club or Mr. Babilla. Sign up the crew for salsa dance lessons so you can all surprise your partners after the trip.

But, undoubtedly, you’ll have to do a boat rental out the gorgeous Rosario Islands . For a bachelor party, you can easily split up the cost of a booze cruise on a private boat rental. Usually, rental includes a stop to go snorkeling before heading to the party island of Cholón. With year-round warm weather, it’s a plan for any time of the year too.

Cusco, Peru

Once the capital of the Inca Empire, Cusco is now one of the best bachelor party destinations in South America! As an overall very affordable city, once your crew settles in, you will have no trouble finding trouble. Or -err- totally wholesome things to do! Once you settle into your lodging , the entire city is your playground.

Even within the city, there are tons of ruins to check out, as well as markets, cafes, and museums. Every day could have a different theme, so Cusco is perfect for groups with different interests! The city is even known globally for its gastronomy, so be sure to score a table at Kion and El Encuentro. You could spend weeks in the city and still not see everything. That said, if your group would like to get out and about, you could always take a 5-day trek to Machu Pichu to see one of the 7 greatest wonders of the world!

Orrrr…you could take the train. Either way, it’s an unforgettable adventure! Although the altitude may take some getting used to, the nightlife in Cusco is popping from day one! The clubs don’t close until the sun is already back out!

Africa and the Middle East

Welcome to the Motherland. This part of the world will give any bachelor party an extra bit of razzle-dazzle of culture and history, unlike any other place in the world. And with over sixty countries to choose from, it can be hard narrowing it down to just one destination! So for these set of countries, we’ve picked not only the best, but also the “easiest” cities to visit. By easiest, we mean that in both flight options and infrastructure. After all, not everyone in your group will be travel geniuses (though more power to them if they are!).

Cape Town, South Africa

By Campbell from Stingy Nomads

Cape Town in South Africa is an amazing city and one of the best bachelor party destinations, complete with fantastic venues and group activities in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. There are many exciting adventures to form the main activity of the day. Paintball is very popular with multiple paintball fields around the city just outside Cape Town, Stellenbosch and Somerset West. These venues often host bachelor parties and are prepared with great suggestions for fun and exciting games.

The high speed, adrenaline rush racing go-karts is another awesome activity for a bachelor’s party. The Kenilworth’s Go Karting track is a great venue with small, fast, high-tech go-karts and a twisty racetrack. Getting in the water with Great White Sharks and a couple of your best friends will get the bachelor’s adrenaline pumping and is awesome to build some camaraderie on a day trip to Gansbaai from Cape Town. Follow a thrilling afternoon, with wine tasting in the Cape Winelands and having a bite to eat at one of the beautiful estates. Cape Town has some fantastic clubs and bars for all tastes to make sure a fantastic day does not end early.

By Luis from Roaming Lion

Dubai is one of the best bachelor party destinations in the Middle East. In fact probably the world. Dubai exudes elegance, but even if you are working on a tighter budget , you can experience Dubai’s luxury for less!

Dubai has no shortage of activities, from shopping in the world’s biggest mall to sailing in the gulf at sunset. Or even cruising through the Dubai Miracle Garden ! Regardless of where you start, you’re going to need food. Since Dubai is a melting pot of cultures, there is an incredible variety of cuisines available for whatever mood your group is in. There are even options for high tea , but of course, it just happens to be in the highest restaurant in the world. This is Dubai after all.

However, if you want to get down with the get down, Dubai is equipped with some of the dankest clubs on the continent. You can race the fastest sports car, or chill at La Mer boardwalk. Dubai can be as fast or slow as you want, with or without alcohol. But Dubai is a city you have to see for yourself.

Asia and Oceanian

If there’s one thing guaranteed for a bachelor party in Asia, it’s good food and good times! Pack your sunscreen and a camera, because no matter which of these destinations you choose, you’re in for the time of your life!

Bangalore, India

By Athul from Our Backpack Tales

Bangalore is known to be one of the most modern cities in India. It is also known as the the Silicon Valley of India due to the high number of IT companies. With a lot of young population from around the country residing here, it is always very lively and thus, one of the best bachelor party destinations!

Bangalore has its own share of pubs, nightclubs, and resto-bars which are often the best choice for a fun night out with your besties. MG Road and Indira Nagar have some of the best pubs in Bangalore and at an affordable price! Most bars and attractions also have seasonal discounts and offers which is also great for your budget.

Consider your party staying at Ora Acres or The Open Box to keep your group close to the action while also having nice accommodations! For a trip out of the city, visit Hogenakkal Falls , Nandi Hills, and Mysore which are some of the famous places to visit from Bangalore !

Sydney, Australia

If you’re headed to the down under, Sydney is a must stop. And as far as celebrating an engagement, it’s one of the best bachelor party destinations in the world! Starting with the unusual first, Sydney has a few offbeat tours and activities that will have your crew reminiscing for years after. Liiike, indoor bubble soccer where you -surprise- run around a field in giant bubbles playing soccer.

There’s also golf, fishing charters, and numerous paintball tours that cater to buck’s parties! But when you’re ready to party, pregame at Papa Gede’s Bar if you’re in the mood for creative cocktails, or stick with The Baxter Inn for the classic clean whiskey. Or, instead of planning all the venues yourself, grab an all-inclusive package with Sydney Party Bus and let them do all the work while you sit back and enjoy the fun!

Sydney also has some of the best beaches on the continent, so when you need some downtime, head over to Bondi Beach to relax. And, well, recover from any hangovers.

Bali, Indonesia

By Carryn from Torn Tackies

Bali, Indonesia, is arguably the best bachelor party destination for an epic gettogether with all your mates! Not only is it super affordable, but the island is home to some of the best clubs and bars that are sure to make your bachelor’s one to remember!

Start off in the vibrant party town of Seminyak where you can enjoy a few cold ones on the beach before hitting Motel Mexicola for an awesome night out. The next day, head to Finn’s or one of the many beach clubs in Canggu where you can laze by the pool bar whilst international DJ’s take on the decks and get the party started.

After a few days of living it up in Seminyak, you’ll want to escape to the beaches of Uluwatu . They’re the best on the island! Surrounded by towering cliffs and awesome waves, Uluwatu is far more chilled and laid back when compared to other places in Bali. But, it’s also home to some of the most epic sunset spots including Single Fin and Sunset Point, both of which offer incredible views from high up on the cliff.

Still looking for more reasons to visit Bali for your bachelor’s? Why not go white water rafting in Ubud or scuba diving in Amed? And if you have more time, spend a few days in Gili Trawangan, an epic party island just off the coast of Bali!

Hong Kong will become one of your favorite cities in the world. Let’s get that out of the way now. Although Hong Kong is technically part of China , it does feel completely different than the mainland and holds it’s own in terms of restaurants, nightlife, and excursions.

If you’re a fan of Disney (no shame here!), then you’ll be pleased to know that Hong Kong Disney is one of the best parks in the world – and it has the shortest lines! In between stuffing your faces at multiple Michelin star restaurants, you will also have the opportunity to indulge in a surprising amount of hikes around Hong Kong! They are far away enough from the city to clear your head and allow for deep conversations, but still a close enough taxi ride to make it on time for your bar crawl in the Lan Kwai Fong and SoHo neighborhoods!

Where where where to begin in Europe? With so many smaller countries close together, you could easily turn your Stag Night into a cross-country Eurotrip! But for time and convenience sake, we’ve listed a few of the best bachelor party destinations that usually fall under the radar for European itineraries!

Copenhagen , Denmark

By Stephen Schreck from Copenhagen Rocks

Copenhagen is one of the best bachelor party destinations for a myriad of reasons. First of all, the city is a picture-perfect definition of scenic. Its inner-city is filled with old buildings and stony streets. The neighborhoods of Vesterbro and Nørrebro are packed with art galleries, trendy markets, stylish restaurants.

What’s a bachelor party without nightlife? Being of Viking descent, it should come as no surprise that Danes like to drink! Copenhagen has an energetic nightlife. The club thrives on good music, bars, and pubs. But the city has made a name for itself in recent years for its wine-bars. You can even get booze ice cream and the one-of-a-kind bar Balderdash .

You could easily spend three days in Copenhagen with you lads, or gals and not get bored! And the fashionable neighborhoods, make it a great choice as a bachelor party destination. It’s a city I can never get enough of visiting!

Edinburgh, Scotland

By Campbell from Highlands 2 Hammocks

As the cultural and historical capital of Scotland, the cobbled streets of Edinburgh are the perfect place to spend that special bachelor’s weekend. When the party comes to “Auld Reekie”, the only true way to celebrate is with a dram of the local produce, and Edinburgh has a ton to choose from!

Spend the morning exploring the beautiful cobbled lanes of the capital city, hearing the gruesome tales and fascinating stories that the ancient streets have to offer. Then, when you have heard enough of the city centre, head to the hills for a sunset view to remember at the top of Calton Hill.

Once the night has descended upon the town, it is time to find the best bar for a bit of Whisky tasting . For this, you can either book onto a whisky tasting tour of the city, where you will be shown the process of making whisky followed by a tasting session of the finished product, or instead, you can go it alone.

If you choose to carve your own path through the city of Edinburgh, the best whisky bar in town that you should check out is the Devil’s Advocate in the Old Town of Edinburgh. Hidden down the narrow laneways of the Advocate’s Close, this secret whisky and cocktail den has over 300 types of whisky behind the bar. It is a must-visit place for both whisky enthusiasts and those looking for a night to remember!

Kyiv, Ukraine

By Sean from Living Out Lau

If you are looking for the ultimate nightlife experience for your bachelor party and don’t want to break your bank, Kyiv (also Kiev) is the best choice. As the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv is not only filled with renowned nightclubs for an unforgettable party, but it is also filled with many historical and fun attractions during the day (if you’re not hungover).

Ukraine doesn’t receive too much tourism, many of them are not used to seeing tourists and would love to chat with you and welcome you into their city! As far as daytime activities, the attraction that has made international news, Chernobyl .

If you are a culture-lover and would like to know more about the interesting culture and history of Ukraine, check out the Independence Square and St. Michael’s Golden-Domed Monastery. There are numerous things to do in Kyiv, making it the ideal bachelor party location for anyone that wants the best of both worlds!

Budapest, Hungary

By Mario from Rest and Recuperation

best bachelor party destinations in europe

Modern tendencies in Europe vary a lot. You can go, for example, for a relaxing weekend in the mountains, maybe with some sport activity like rafting. Thanks to low-cost airlines, there is a new kind of trip: the bachelor-long-weekend in a “Ryanair destination”. The process to find the city is simple. You choose the period, you check where airlines fly, and you choose between the cheapest ones the destination that can provide the groom with a once in a lifetime experience.

Budapest falls fully into this category. It is extremely beautiful and has a lot of cultural things to do. Flying there is usually very cheap and it is connected to many airports of the continent. Life is not expensive and you can probably have a higher standard than in many other countries for your accommodation, food, and party expenses. Because you can actually have a lot of party in Budapest. And during the day, what’s better than a beer bike tour with your friends?

St Julian’s, Malta

By Bradley from Dream Big, Travel Far

Without a doubt, Malta is one of the most underrated destinations to visit in the world! Particularly if you are planning an unforgettable bachelor party. Why? Well first up, one big thing you’re going to want is the nightlife. And St Julian’s is the best place in Malta to base yourself. The main party area is called Paceville and here you’ll find tons of bars and clubs offering great atmosphere late into the night.

There’s a real mix of clubs here, including some more chilled out bars right on the water. There’s also plenty of pubs and restaurants where you can pick up a nice meal before a big night on the town. In the daytime, there is a lot to get up to such as water skiing, parasailing or just chilling on the beach. Once you break out of St Julians, Malta and neighboring Gozo have plenty more to offer.

In the city, you’ll find 5,000-year-old temples, the historic city of Valletta and, perhaps best of all, the Blue Lagoon on the island of Comino . Situated halfway between Malta and Gozo, this is the best tourist attraction the island has to offer. Crystal blue waters which are perfect to swim and snorkel in. There are party boats that run from St Julians every day and it’s a great stag party activity.

The Complete Guide For A Perfect Bachelors’ Trip To Thailand

GOPAL VENKATARAMAN
July 27, 2019

Wedding bells ring for your best friend and you are suddenly the happiest person. You now have a full-time job – planning the most kickass bachelor party ever.

With its epic party scene, heart-pumping adventures, and adult-themed bars, there isn’t a place better than Thailand for your ultimate bachelor party. So, folks and soon-to-be best men, check out this bachelor’s guide to Thailand and start taking some serious notes.

Kickstart or end your trip in by spending some time in the capital city. Bangkok shot to fame as a party destination after scenes from the movie The Hangover were shot here.

You’ll be happy to know that it’s actually possible to relive the movie experience with The Hangover tour. It takes you to all the hottest clubs and bars in Bangkok’s liveliest streets – surely a recipe for a serious hangover!

Partying in Bangkok is incomplete without a trip to Khao San Road, a heady cocktail of lights, music and street dancing. There are countless pubs in the area, but the party mostly spills out onto the street. Khao San Road also has some of the most lip-smacking street food in the city. If you want budget accommodation and meet new travellers, this is a great area to stay in.

Bangkok’s other party area is Sukhumvit, with fancy beer bars, go-go bars and the famous Nana Plaza – the world’s largest adult entertainment complex. Bangkok also houses the famed red-light districts of Patpong and Soi Cowboy, so there is plenty of action to keep you hooked.

How To Get There: Pattaya is just 2 hours from Bangkok by bus or private cab.

The poster boy of Thailand’s nightlife, no bachelor party in Thailand is complete without a trip to Pattaya. With its raunchy bars, discos, foam parties and the infamous adult entertainment industry, Pattaya gives you everything you ask for.

If you want to be in the thick of all the action, then stay within a 1-km radius of Walking Street – the craziest street in this part of the world. It’s every man’s fantasy come true.

Not only does it have all the happening clubs in Pattaya, but there’ll also be go-go and beer bars, massage parlours, strip clubs and ping-pong shows. Don’t be surprised if you’re lured into every club here, courtesy the cute bar girls at the door teasing you.

The Foam Party at the Hard Rock Café (9.30pm on Saturdays) is an epic party, where a 2,000-square-metre pool is pumped with foam, and young men and women frolic in them all night.

If you want a dose of adrenaline in-between all the partying, then Pattaya has everything from extreme adventures like skydiving and bungee jumping to milder ones like ATV biking and zip lining. Pattaya has a long coastline, so there are plenty of options for scuba diving and snorkelling.

How To Get There: Phuket can be reached from Bangkok by flight. Or, you could take an overnight bus from Bangkok.

Phuket is Pattaya’s distant, yet more upmarket, cousin, with the same kind of wild parties. Phuket also has plenty of beaches, beachside villas, and loads of options for adrenaline junkies, making it an all-round bachelor party destination.

In Phuket , Bangla Road is where all the night owls head to. It’s the heart of the Phuket sex industry, with scantily clad Thai girls dancing on poles, inviting customers into their bars or just hoping to walk away with a customer for the night.

The road is a carnival of neon lights, loud music and cheap booze. The entire street is lined with beer bars, go-go bars, discos, restaurants and shops.

If you want to take the party on the road, try the Phuket party bus – a bus with leather sofas, a top-notch stereo system, disco lighting, mini bar, poles and Thai girls dancing on them. This will be your very own private nightclub on wheels.

Phuket has many beachside villas, so you can find a cosy one to chill in during the day. Adventure junkies can get their rush from bungee jumping, zip lining, and scuba diving.

Koh Phangan

How To Get There: There are flights, buses and trains from Bangkok to Surat Thani. From there, Koh Phangan is a two-hour ferry ride away.

We’ve all dreamt of a place where life is all about the parties. Well, it’s possible to live that dream on Koh Phangan. Your day here doesn’t start with breakfast, but with a hangover!

Koh Phangan’s claim to fame is that it’s the venue for the world’s craziest party – The Full Moon Party. This is a carnival where 30,000 random strangers from across the globe gather on Haad Rin Beach for one drunken night. Your friend definitely needs to experience this world of insanity before getting hitched.

Check out the lunar calendar and plan your bachelor trip around the Full Moon Party. If you can’t make it for that, however, don’t worry – there are also Half Moon parties, Black Moon parties, Waterfall parties and, well, a party for every day.

Although Koh Phangan is mainly a party place, there is a laidback vibe to it during the day. It has great beaches to chill, beautiful scuba-diving locations, and an abundance of natural beauty around.

Most of the people just grab the drinks inside the bars but then drink in the streets, creating the perfect atmosphere for a bachelor party. Cais do Sodré is also another popular party area. Located very close to Barrio Alto, this district also features many bars and some clubs. And besides the night life, there is plenty of fun stuff to do in the Portuguese capital. You can relax under the sun, go surfing at Carcavelos beach, or play golf at one of the best golf courses of the country.

Nowadays, the options for marking the end of a man’s single years are vast, whether it’s exploring the great outdoors at the best national parks in the U.S. , indulging in the best sushi restaurants in America with your culinary crew, getting pampered at the best spa resorts or a stereotypical weekend of raucous shenanigans. From Sin City to the Big Apple, these are the best bachelor party destinations in the U.S.—ranging from hot spots to offbeat picks—to commemorate the groom in an unforgettable rite of passage.

Can't-miss bachelor party destinations

1. Las Vegas, NV

Sin City. If you and your clan are looking to 'go big or go home' before tying the knot, Vegas offers everything from gambling to strip clubs to pool parties , plus less louche options like star chef fine-dining and top-tier golf links. After securing a hotel reservation on the Strip, grab your wallet and head to the town’s best clubs like Omnia or XS ; pull on your trunks for wet, wild and booze-drenched pool parties like the MGM Grand’s Wet Republic or the Cosmopolitan’s Marquee ; and yes, check out the poles at places such as the Spearmint Rhino, if you must. To refuel, stuff your face at over-the-top buffets like Caesars Palace’s Bacchanal Buffet , or pull on a fresh button-down and tuck into world-class fare at José Andrés’ é , Michael Mina’s Bardot Brasserie , Min Kim’s Mizumi , or Partage by chef Yuri Szarzewski.

2. Los Angeles, CA

Any food-loving group of dudes would be thrilled to head to the City of Angels for a bachelor party—the better to hop between Koreatown ’s excellent bibimbap, Boyle Heights’ authentic taco trucks and Hollywood ’s pricey-but-delicious grain bowls. Apart from the food, the drinking is top-notch, too, with adventurous and innovative mixologists shaking delicate cocktails at The Dresden and tropical tiki classics at Tonga Hut . During the day, bum out on insanely beautiful beaches like El Matador and Zuma, or catch a wave at internationally coveted surf spots Surfrider and El Porto. When it comes to nightlife, the sky’s the limit: hit wild dance clubs like Avalon , catch an intimate concert at El Rey , or head to Hollywood for a variety of seedy-to-classy strip clubs.

3. New Orleans, LA

While NOLA might seem slightly unconventional—it’s not Vegas, after all—it wins out for its versatility. Whether you’re a live music lover, food obsessive, cocktail enthusiast or sports fan, the Big Easy checks all these boxes and then some. Chow down with the dudes on the city’s excellent fried chicken, jambalaya and crawfish etouffee at classic spots including Willie Mae’s , Antoine’s and Commander’s Palace ; crawl Frenchman Street for excellent live jazz and brass bands at bubbly clubs like The Spotted Cat , Three Muses , and Snug Harbor ; and sip perfectly balanced sazeracs and French 75s at mixology temples such as Carousel Bar or at a speakeasy-like The Double Dealer under the Orpheum Theater. If you’ve scheduled your celebration for the fall, head to a Saints game and bask in the fan fanaticism. And if you want to go lowbrow, don’t forget to wander Bourbon Street with a frozen hurricane in hand.

4. New York City, NY

For an adrenaline-fueled bachelor party weekend, where else to go but the city that never sleeps? Start the morning off with a cup of craft coffee at geeked-out shops like Ninth Street Espresso , Devoción , or Felix Roasting Co .; spend the day strolling Manhattan’s elevated park The High Line and ducking into Chelsea galleries and Fifth Avenue museums; and cross the Brooklyn Bridge for sunset views of the city streets and the East River. There are absolutely no limits when it comes to grub: munch on classic New York slices , slurp noodles in Chinatown or go highbrow at fine dining temples like Sushi Noz , Aquavit , Gabriel Kreuther , and ILILI . At night, catch a big-budget concert or Nets game at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, bar-hop through the East Village or slump into a booth at one of the city’s many 24-hour diners.

5. Miami, FL

With beautiful beaches , a thumping nightlife and endless options for exploring the outdoors , Miami is an obvious choice for a bachelor party destination. All the debauchery can be found in South Beach , where, with research and advance booking, a boutique hotel can be scored at a major deal. During the day, sunbathe and snooze on the beach, book a scuba or snorkel trip, or splash in style on a private yacht charter with companies such as Tropicalboat or Prime Luxury . At night, bass-pounding clubs offer a variety of options for partying: check out bottle service at LIV , and keep the party going all night long at Club Space . For the hangover eats you’ll absolutely require the next day, there’s no better spot than Little Havana , where you can refuel with rib-sticking Latin American fare like tequeños and arepas, pan con minuta (a snapper sandwich served on Cuban bread bun), and lechón asado buns made with sour orange-achiote.

6. Charleston, SC

This Southern charmer is the perfect pick for a bachelor party weekend; the city boasts beautiful cobblestoned streets, handsome antebellum architecture and a facility for the good life that’s tough to find in any other city. Eating should be the focal point of any trip here. Charleston excels in comforting-yet-creative Southern fare at restaurants such as FIG , Husk , The Ordinary (don’t trust the name) and Nigel's Good Food . This is also a drinking town, with the most emphasis and expertise placed on the brown stuff—namely, fine bourbon—that you and your crew can sip straight or in cocktails at spots such as The Kingstide , Post House , Laurel , and Bar Vauté . If you can fit in any activities between all that eating and drinking, play a few rounds of golf at the Ocean Course on Kiwah Island , bliss out on Folly Beach, or hike Bull Island.

7. Atlantic City, GA

It's no Vegas, but the Tri-State Area’s favorite gambling destination is a convenient getaway for those living in the Northeast—and this slightly seedy casino city still has its charms. If you’re visiting in the summer, a stroll along the boardwalk with stops for cotton candy, soft serve and saltwater taffy is a must, while beaches including Cape May and Sea Isle are surprisingly pretty. As in Vegas, gambling is really the point of coming to Atlantic City, so hit the blackjack table at the Tropicana or go for a round of roulette at the Golden Nugget . Feeling a little rowdy? Slip into your trunks and get wet at The Pool After Dark , Harrah’s all-night indoor pool party, check out "gentlemen’s clubs" Bare Exposure and Babes, or keep it (a little bit) classier at the Borgata’s stylish 40s-style Thursday night burlesque show.

8. Austin, TX

Known for its robust live music scene, its rib-sticking BBQ restaurants and its easygoing attitude, Austin is a natural choice for any group of fun-loving dudes. Start your day with the breakfast of champions: a migas taco at Veracruz All Natural , a machacado at Mi Madre’s or a brisket taco at Valentina’s (or all three). Once fortified, move on to all-day drinking: Drink.Well ’s happy hour begins at 3pm; Salty Sow ’s starts at 4pm; Jeffrey’s starts at 4:30 daily (or all night on Mondays); and Odd Duck ’s happy hour is from 5-6pm daily. When you’re hungry again, seek out rigorously authentic BBQ at Franklin Barbecue , Micklethwait Craft Meats or Terry Black’s . Late in the evening, scope live blues at Antone’s , rock music at the Continental Club or alternative sounds at Parish . And if after all that you want to hit up Palazio Gentleman’s Club, we promise we won't tell.

9. Portland, OR

This gem of the Pacific Northwest attracts all kinds of adventurous types and its dedication to the good life makes the city a solid choice for bachelor parties. Whether your group is looking to kick back and relax or take on the great outdoors, Portland’s got it all. A good place to start is Distillery Row in Southeast Portland, where you can tasting-room-hop between nine craft distilleries offering up impeccable whiskies, brandies and gins. When the munchies kick in (which they undoubtedly will when you factor in Oregon’s legal recreational marijuana status), world-class restaurants and wildly popular food trucks beckon with a diverse array of cuisines that make use of local ingredients. Burn off all those calories with any of a number of stunning hikes near the metro area, including Rooster Rock State Park in Corbett and Puff Falls in Carson. PDX can also offer a racy night out that’s not in poor taste with some very unique strip clubs (think: fire, rollers, skates, and tattoos).

10. Lake Tahoe, CA

Straddling the border between California and Nevada , Lake Tahoe is our definitive pick for a wintertime bachelor party. The area offers world-class skiing at Squaw Valley , Heavenly Ski and Diamond Peak resorts. And beyond the slopes, there are tons of outdoorsy adventures to be had: go skydiving with Skydive Lake Tahoe , kayaking with Tahoe Adventure Company and rent ATVs with Full Access Tahoe . If the gambling itch strikes, hop the border to Nevada to feed the slots at Harrah’s and Harvey's casinos.

11. Denver, CO

The Mile High City has a multitude of activities to keep a group of guys busy, from unparalleled hiking and outdoor adventuring to delicious food and a vibrant craft beer scene. First, the outdoors: Check out alpine Mills Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park, calypso orchids and other wildflowers at Ouzel Falls or the 20ft sandstone bridge Royal Arch, all located just a short drive from the city. Cyclists might want to hook up with Mile High Bike Tours for excellent guided jaunts around the city, and water lovers can check out rafting and ziplining trips offered by AVA . Meanwhile, Denver’s restaurants serve everything from authentic Mexican fare to local farm-to-table grub.; Dudes might want to check out the premium steaks seared at Guard and Grace . When it’s time to drink, check out the tasting rooms at local breweries like Wynkoop and Renegade, or head to tricked-out games bars like The 1UP , equipped with billiards, ping pong tables and Skee-Ball.

12. Chicago, IL

For music-loving bachelors, Chicago is a no-brainer destination: this is where the electric blues evolved in the mid-20th century, and the city still offers a veritable banquet of live music options. Clubs such as Rosa’s Lounge , Kingston Mines and bluesman Buddy Guy’s famed joint Legends host excellent acts nightly. You and your crew will obviously want to chow down on the Windy City’s famed deep-dish pizza : check out hoppin’ spots like Pequod’s , Giordano’s and Lou Malnati’s . In nice weather, it’s fun to take advantage of Chicago’s extensive waterfront. Go the ridiculous route with one of the city’s many booze cruises, like Island Party Boat ’s tiki-drink-stocked, waterslide-equipped yachts and pontoons. Sports fans, depending on the season, can enjoy a Bears or Cubs game.

13. Memphis, TN

Just as Chicago is a draw for blues lovers up north, Memphis is the place to be for Southern aficionados. The moody, electric-driven genre took shape in the early 20th century, and it’s still on full and authentic display at intimate clubs including Rum Boogie Cafe , Wild Bill’s and Blues City . Carnivores will want to chow down on the city's famous style of BBQ: Think dry-rubbed, pit-cooked pork ribs and luscious shoulder that’s served with little fanfare but a ton of flavor at joints like Cozy Corner , Corky’s and Central BBQ . Those looking for adult entertainment can head to clubs like The Pony or Purple Diamond.

14. San Diego, CA

San Diego has mastered the art of laid-backness, making it the perfect destination for a group of bros. Boasting 70 miles of beautiful southern Cali coastline , water activities are the name of the game in San Diego: learn to surf, book a whale-and-dolphin-watching tour or go sailing on a catamaran. During the evening, the Gaslamp Quarter offers 16 blocks of excellent cafes, restaurants and rooftop bars. In the latter category, check out Lumi by Akira Black , The Nolen and SummerSalt (which also boasts a pool!). There are also a number of risque burlesque shows like the sexy Ooh La La Revue.

15. Milwaukee, WI

While it may appear to be a left-field choice, Milwaukee proves to be an excellent bachelor party destination for three reasons: it’s affordable, it's a great meeting point for friends scattered across the country, and it houses a vibrant craft beer scene. Once your group has gathered, head out for a day of drinking via a brewery crawl: Urban Harvest , MobCraft and Indeed are all located within walking distance of each other. Other non-drinking activities include renting a yacht to cruise along Lake Michigan, riding the sky cable cars at Henry Maier Festival Park, and catching a Brewers game at Miller Park. Any hog aficionados in the group will want to check out the impressive Harley-Davidson Museum and don’t forget to take a group shot with the "Bronze Fonz," a life-size statue of the Happy Days character located along downtown’s Riverwalk.

16. Jackson Hole, WY

Yet another can’t-go-wrong choice for outdoor-lovers, Jackson Hole is a nature enthusiast’s playground, offering some of the country’s best skiing and snowboarding during the winter, and scenic hiking, biking and horseback riding the rest of the year. Popular ski resorts include Teton Lodge and the Four Seasons , but in the warmer months, opt for local ranches like Mill Iron and Turpin Meadow , which offer guided horseback riding excursions through the area’s scenic terrain. Then check out breathtaking hiking trails like Paintbrush Divide, Phelps Lake and Teton Crest. Now that you've worked out an appetite, tuck into some wild game at restaurants like GameFish and Gun Barrel .

17. San Francisco, CA

The City by the Bay offers a plethora of bachelor party activities, from excellent eating and drinking to plenty of scenic outdoorsy adventures. During the day, make use of the city’s beautiful waterfront by getting out onto the bay: you can drop a line with San Francisco Fishing Charter ; look for whales with San Francisco Whale Tours ; or hop aboard your own booze cruise with a chartered yacht from Captain San Francisco . At night, take advantage of the city's famous culinary landscape with beer-and-barley-tempura black cod from Lazy Bear, fresh pasta at The Tailor’s Son , or a roast duck at Mister Jiu’s . Top it off with a fine cocktail at The Interval at Long Now, The Snug , or Kona's Street Market . For a panorama of the city, Charmaine's rooftop bar and lounge has cocktails as good as the view. Feel like dancing? Raven Bar channels all the good vibes with nostalgic tunes from the 1990s to today.

18. Phoenix, AZ

The dry desert heat of Arizona provides the perfect backdrop for a sizzling bachelor party. Boasting clear, beautiful weather almost every day of the year, the city’s main attraction is its network of world-class golf courses, so be sure to pack your sand wedge. Favorite links include Papago , Raven and the Phoenix Country Club , the latter of which remains open and lit by floodlights until 10pm. After 18 holes, indulge in some iconic dishes like a Sonoran hot dog from El Caprichoso Hot Dogs ; green chile stew at Fry Bread House; broiled steak at Durant's ; rosa pizza at Pizzeria Bianco ; brown butter tuna at Valentine ; or fatty brisket at Little Miss BBQ . In the evening, head downtown for jazz at the elegant The Nash ; balanced cocktails at Bitter & Twisted Cocktail Parlour and bottle service at Bar Smith.

1. Be a Beach Bum in La Jolla

San Diego, California is internationally recognized for its gorgeous views, mouthwatering restaurants, acclaimed golf courses, and, of course, its beautiful beaches.

Surf’s Up Dude!

Surfing is a great bachelor party activity and it doesn’t even matter if you never get up on the board. The 1.5-Hour Surfing Lesson is ideal for beginner and intermediate surfers.

It takes place at La Jolla Shores , one of the most popular beaches in San Diego because of its consistent waves, long sandy beach, and gorgeous views. Furthermore, getting some much-needed wave therapy is an awesome way to relax before the big day.

Go Skydiving – But Don’t Tell Your Fiancé

No thrill on earth compares to skydiving. After all, you’re jumping out of a plane at 10,000 feet. With the blue skies, mountain, and ocean views, this is the most glorious selfie you’re ever going to take.

Check out Skydive San Diego if you’re serious about checking this off your bucket list or if you’d just like to torture your groomsmen. However, a great alternative is the San Diego Indoor Skydiving Experience with 2 Flights.

Mission Trails Golf Course is no Torrey Pines, however, it’s also not the worst golf course in the world. If your crew is looking to do a bit of golf while visiting San Diego then Mission Trails is your best option. Moreover, it’s a public course making rental clubs, pull carts, and golf carts available at a reasonable price.

Finally, there’s the option to golf nine or 18 holes. Reserve your tee time —we have a feeling there’s going to be a lot of competition.

Continue your big night out at The Comedy Store , where you and your buddies are sure to enjoy a belly full of laughs. View the calendar of events to see if a world-famous comedian will be performing during your visit.

Make sure your boys force you to sit in the front row. Odds are, your group will be asked to participate or heckled. Either way, it’s a blast.

💡 Fun Activity Idea > San Diego Club Crawl – Nightlife Party Tour

After the comedy show, you can finish the night at Moonshine Flats , an 18,0000 square-foot two-level in-your-face honky-tonk bar.

5. Drink Whiskey and Ride Horses

If you’re from the Midwest, heading to Lexington, Kentucky for your bachelor party may be a perfect option, especially if you like the idea of tasting tons of different whiskies and combining them with a bit of horseback riding.

Take a Cocktails Tasting Tour > Check Availability

Whiskey and horses are two of America’s favorite pastimes. And, while it may not be the greatest idea in the world to get on a 750-pound animal after downing a few shots, in Lexington— The Horse Capital of the World —it’s just another day. The convenience of visiting this equestrian paradise is that it’s less than 60 minutes from Bardstown, the Bourbon Capital of the World , making the journey, oh so sweet!

Some of the most historic, picturesque distilleries are located right in Lexington, a town famed for its calcium-rich, limestone-filtered waters which give the bourbon a flavor and purity unlike anywhere else on earth.

The water is so abundant in vitamins and minerals that it’s also said to give local horses stronger bones. Also, the four closest distilleries to Lexington include Woodford Reserve, Four Roses, Buffalo Trace, and Wild Turkey.

6. Climb New England’s Windiest Hill

New Hampshire’s Mount Washington State Park has a claim to fame—on April 12, 1934, its namesake peak measured a record-breaking wind speed of 231 mph. Thus, this notoriously windy summit has become known for some of the most erratic weather conditions you’ll experience in the world.

To gain perspective, on average only ten blue sky days are recorded at the summit. However, if you’re lucky, from the top you can see into four surrounding states, Canada, and the Atlantic Ocean.

Autumn is the best time to visit when the scenery is colorful and awe-inspiring. Just remember, the challenging trek up to the summit is not for the faint-hearted.

At 6,148 feet, this is the second tallest peak on the east coast, beaten only by Clingman’s Dome in the Smoky Mountains . Some hikers classify it as one of the most difficult day hikes on America’s Eastern coast.

Thankfully, there are four ways to explore the mountain—hiking, driving, train, or a one-way private shuttle. That way, some in the group can hike while others can enjoy a more leisurely day. Everyone gets to choose their perfect adventure.

The Mount Washington Auto-Trail

Nominate your most fearless driver to take on the Mount Washington Auto-Trail . Opened in 1861, this is America’s oldest man-made attraction. The route is a thrilling way to experience Mount Washington without completing the 4,280 feet elevation hike.

Make sure you have a trusted car with great brakes to tackle the 7.6-mile road with a 12 percent grade. There is an entrance fee but you’ll receive a “This Car Climbed Mt. Washington” bumper sticker to verify that you drove one of the country’s scariest roads.

The Cog Railway

Operating from April through November, the Cog Railway is a popular way to reach the Mount Washington summit. Built in 1869, it was the country’s first mountain-climbing train ride. The round-trip route takes about three hours.

Things to Do

Other great things to do near Mount Washington State Park include biking on the easy and flat Presidential Rail Trail , renting snowmobiles, or exploring the wilderness by AATV

Additionally, the Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center is a one-stop shop to help plan your outdoor adventures. In summer, the center offers kayak tours and clinics, along with private bike paths and rentals. In winter, they help organize Nordic skiing, snowshoeing, snow tubing, fat biking, and snow coach tours.

Budget : Mt. Madison Inn & Suites (heated outdoor pool, hot tub, grill garden, close to hiking) or Top Notch Inn (affordable rates, heated pool, and hot tub, house, and cottage options that can sleep 10) Mid-Range+ : The Glen House (highly-ranked, on-site tavern, indoor pool) Luxury : Eagle Mountain House and Golf Club (seasonal outdoor pool, restaurant, bar and lounge, billiards, and game room, close to hiking and skiing)

7. Hang Glide and Climb in the Catskills

Ulster County is a short 2.5-hour drive north of New York City , in what feels like a whole other world. Being so close to Manhattan makes the Catskills one of the best bachelor party destinations in the northeastern US.

The County was named for the Irish province of Ulster and is the gateway to the Catskills—a magnificent, historic panorama of woody preserves, hiking trails, and immense adventures.

In terms of adrenaline-pumping fun, book a day of climbing with Alpine Endeavors , or go off-roading in a 4×4 in the backcountry with Northeast Off-Road Adventures .

It’s Time to Reward Your Groomsmen > Get Them a Personalized Pocket Knife or Black Flask .

For the maximum high, go hang gliding with Mountain Wings Hang Gliding and check this adventure sport off your bucket list. Alternatively, release all of those pre-wedding jitters by going skydiving with Skydive the Ranch .

Accent Your Trip With This > Hudson River Sightseeing Cruise from Kingston

A great place to kick off the evening is Roscoe Beer Company where guests can dine casually and enjoy a beer garden. Also, occasionally, Roscoe holds live music events.

Partygoers looking for a more formal dining experience may be interested in Garavan’s, a gastropub. Afterward, hit up the Commune Saloon or Ronni Macgregor’s Pub for drinks, games, and live music.

Budget : Pine Hill Arms Hotel (in the Catskills) or Americas Best Value Inn New Paltz Mid-Range : Rondout Valley Camping Resort (2 BD Park Model, sleeps 6) or Holiday Inn Express & Suites Luxury : The Old Game Farm (this place will blow your mind!)

Costa Rica: Affordable Luxury Vacation Paradise?

2 thoughts on “ 7 best bachelor party destinations in the u.s. on a budget ”.

Please tell me how to live your life where any of these places are “affordable.” Next time look at the most expensive places to live/visit in the US. Here’s a clue:

San Diego? it’s your #2, “budget spot.” in the US. Actually, San Diego is the 8th most expensive city to live in, or visit, in our country.

Other cities/towns are mentioned, and when it comes to the Northeast, I have been to them all. While the author has selected one or two quant, small towns, remember that the transportation is going to eat up your budget. It is not easy to get to these remote Northeast places, so expect to fly into a remote location, rent a sub-par car, and get lost cause there’s no wifi.

Don’t get me wrong. I spent the majority of my life in the extreme Northeast. And I love it. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. But when it comes to a “guys” weekend, there are much better places to go, and they include breweries, nature, and anything else you may be need to your time.

The thought methodology behind the seven destinations was to have a place nearby, no matter where the reader was located. In other words, there’d be no need to take a flight and rent a car as that of course, would increase the cost dramatically. Therefore, in terms of San Diego as a destination, the bachelor party would most likely be from the southwestern US and would make the party a road trip.

In terms of excursions, the goal was to have a little something different or unique for each location. For example, there are activities that can be done in pretty much every city across the US, i.e., vising a brewery, sports bar, nightclub, or going hiking, golfing, etc. Therefore, for the most part, unique excursions were chosen based on the location.

While just about everything in life may feel expensive right now, there are still ways to be budget-savvy. For example, in San Diego, as stated, group tours such as a pub crawl, surfing lessons, or a comedy club are a good way to save money. Also, the budget option of staying at the Rambler Motel, for only $89 per night looks pretty awesome with fun rooms and a pool in a great location.

There is a budget-savvy way to visit anywhere on the planet. We’ve done it. Don’t discourage yourself. If there’s a location that you dream about visiting or making a bachelor party destination it can be done. You just have to get a little creative. Hopefully, this article helped. Best of luck!

The world’s best airport hotels—according to a 2024 report.

Crowne Plaza Changi Airport

A stay at an airport hotel is usually booked with convenience in mind. You’ve got an early morning flight and want to be close to your departure gate or you’ve got a layover that’s too long to wait out in the lounge, yet too short to venture deep into a city. But some airport hotels go above and beyond with their amenities and design, and, Skytrax , a London-based air transport ratings organization, rates airport hotels each year.

The world’s best airport hotel in 2024 is: Crowne Plaza Changi Airport in Singapore, according to Skytrax.

The IHG Resort & Hotel is a repeat winner on the organization’s best airport hotel list, clinching the No. 1 spot for the past nine years.

A major hub for travel throughout Asia, the Singapore Changi Airport is a traveler favorite thanks in part to the Jewel, a nature-themed retail and entertainment complex with amenities like the 7-story rain vortex, a hedge maze, shops, and restaurants all set among a lush landscape with more than 2,000 trees and palms and 10,000 shrubs.

The top airport hotel in the United States, and also high on the global list, is the wonderfully nostalgic TWA Hotel at New York’s JFK airport where you can enjoy a libation in a 1958 Lockheed Constellation “Connie” airplane that’s been transformed into a cocktail lounge.

Where you can see northern lights Sunday night from another solar storm

Sunday night could offer another opportunity to see the northern lights unusually far south, though less than earlier predicted

If you missed the recent auroras over the past two days, you may have another chance. The sun will continue to send more activity to Earth on Sunday night and early this week.

Fast eruptions from the sun are expected to slam into Earth on Sunday night and Monday morning, triggering another round of geomagnetic storms, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Sunday is predicted to offer the best chance for aurora-chasing before this round of solar activity diminishes.

After predicting geomagnetic storms of level G4 or G5 — the most intense rating — on Sunday morning, NOAA downgraded the forecast to G3, meaning less likelihood for a repeat of Friday night , when storms brought aurora sightings down to Florida and Mexico.

Activity is expected to wane by the pre-dawn hours of Monday, although storm levels are still predicted to reach moderate (G2) to strong (G3). Auroras could be spotted as far south as Iowa and Washington state with the naked eye, but cameras could capture the dancing lights farther south.

By Tuesday morning, NOAA forecasts that geomagnetic storm activity will diminish to minor levels (G1). During a minor storm, only higher latitudes such as northern Michigan or Maine typically see auroras.

Will there be clouds in my area?

In the Northeast, people may struggle to see the aurora through clouds on Sunday night, although some breaks are possible toward Monday morning. Unfortunately, clouds will blanket much of the area Monday night to Tuesday morning.

In the Mid-Atlantic, the skies will be mostly clear from Sunday night into Monday, providing promising views from West Virginia to South Carolina. Heavy cloud cover moves in over the region on Monday night into Tuesday morning.

The southern United States (from Georgia to western Texas) will be largely covered in clouds from late Sunday night to Tuesday morning.

The West Coast and northern Plains should have primarily clear skies from Sunday night to Tuesday morning.

If your region has a cloudy forecast over the next few days, don’t necessarily fret. Sometimes breaks emerge in the cloud canopy. And while clouds will make it harder to see the northern lights, sometimes they also make for interesting photos .

Will you be able to see the northern lights around D.C.?

It is unlikely that auroras will be visible Sunday night in the D.C. region, according to NOAA’s 7:15 p.m. update.

Washingtonians had a brief window during which to see auroras early Saturday morning . But there were too many clouds and the geomagnetic storm wasn’t quite strong enough for northern lights to be seen Saturday night into Sunday morning — although auroras were reported in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains at 10:30 p.m. and about 12:30 a.m., as well as in the mountains to the west.

You will improve your chances of seeing the aurora borealis significantly by finding an observing location away from city lights (this advice applies to any population center). Also, the lights — if they appear — may be rather faint and only visible through your camera lens, which is more sensitive to light than your eyes. Look to the north to try to find them.

Where has the aurora already been seen this weekend?

The geomagnetic activity over the past few days has been one for the books, producing once-in-a-lifetime or once-in-a-generation aurora displays.

The weekend began strong with an extreme (G5) storm on Friday into Saturday morning. One space weather physicist collected aurora observations on X from every state in the United States, and from much of the Northern Hemisphere — including rare places like Italy, Austria, London, Mexico and India. Auroras were even spotted in tropical locations, including Puerto Rico and the Bahamas.

In the Southern Hemisphere, the lights — known as the aurora australis — were photographed in Chile , Argentina , New Zealand and Australia.

Although activity decreased Saturday night, storm levels still briefly reached into strong (G3) to severe (G4) levels. At its peak, people were able to snap aurora pictures in the mountains of Virginia.

Were any satellite or power grid operations affected?

Intense geomagnetic storms can disrupt satellite, GPS and power grid operations. After Friday’s storm, NOAA received reports of issues on some power grids and high-frequency radio and GPS communications.

The last time a G5 storm hit was in 2003. That one also brought widespread auroras and some power interruptions in certain regions of the globe.

Why has there been so much auroral activity recently?

The slew of auroral activity stems from a particularly bustling area on the sun known as active region 3664. The region — measuring about 17 times the diameter of Earth — is marked with a cluster of dark splotches, known as sunspots. Sunspots are areas on the sun’s surface where its magnetic field is much higher than anywhere else on the sun. These magnetically complex regions are often the source of large, explosive bursts on the sun.

So cool. On Saturday morning, CWG reader David Abbou took this video of the giant sunspot facing Earth (which you can see with solar eclipse glasses) and which has been responsible for the solar storms and northern lights. As he was recording, an airplane photobombed the shot! pic.twitter.com/N52dCzwjn5 — Capital Weather Gang (@capitalweather) May 12, 2024

Last week, the sunspot group launched multiple eruptions from its surface — called coronal mass ejections — toward Earth. Coronal mass ejections are large clouds of solar energy and magnetized plasma that can temporarily disturb Earth’s magnetosphere, if aimed correctly. Some solar particles travel along Earth’s magnetic field into our upper atmosphere, exciting molecules and releasing photons of light, or the aurora.

Geomagnetic activity from this sunspot group will last until around Tuesday, then the sunspot group will rotate away from Earth’s view. If it rotates all the way around the sun and faces back to Earth in several weeks, it could send additional activity our way. However, most sunspot groups weaken on second appearance.

NOAA scientists continually monitor the sun and are tracking any potential activity from other sunspot groups.

Solar eclipse 2024: A traveller’s guide to the best places to be when the light goes out

O n 8 April 2024, a total solar eclipse will sweep across North America , providing an astronomical experience in many alluring locations.

Only a tiny proportion of humanity has ever witnessed a total eclipse – but tens of millions of people will be able to experience one as the “path of totality” sweeps from the Pacific to the Atlantic during the course of that magical Monday.

Here’s what you need to know about why you should see it and where to be.

What happens during a total solar eclipse?

The greatest show on earth comes courtesy of the lifeless moon. Normally the orbiting lunar lump merely provides earth with tides, moonlight and somewhere to aim space rockets. But roughly once a year the natural satellite aligns with the sun and, thanks to a geometric miracle, blots out the hub of the solar system to create a total eclipse.

“Even though the moon is 400 times smaller than the sun, it’s also about 400 times closer to earth than the sun is,” says Nasa. “This means that from earth, the moon and the sun appear to be roughly the same size in the sky.”

A narrow band marking the “path of totality” carves an arc of darkness across the surface of our planet. If you are somewhere on that line at the predicted time, and you have clear skies, then the experience will become a lifelong memory.

The closer you are to the centre of the path of totality, the longer the total eclipse will last. The astronomer Dr John Mason, who has guided dozens of eclipse trips (and will be doing so again in 2024), says: “People down in southwest Texas will get about four minutes 20 seconds, and that reduces to about three minutes 20 seconds up in the northeast. That’s a pretty good, long total eclipse.”

What’s so good about seeing an eclipse?

In the days leading up to the eclipse, locations in the path of totality acquire something of a carnival atmosphere as astronomical tourists converge in excited anticipation.

On the day, the cosmological performance begins with a warm-up lasting more than an hour, during which the moon steadily nibbles away at the surface of the sun.

Suddenly, you experience totality. The stars and planets appear in the middle of the day. The air chills.

To testify to the heavenly fit between our two most familiar heavenly bodies, faint diamonds known as Baily’s beads peek out from behind the moon. They actually comprise light from the sun slipping through lunar valleys.

A sight to behold – so long as you can see the moon blotting out the sun and appreciate the mathematical perfection of nature in our corner of the galaxy.

Eclipses are entirely predictable: we know the stripes that the next few dozen will paint upon the surface of the Earth. But the weather is not. Cloud cover, which blighted the Cornwall eclipse in 1999, downgrades a cosmological marvel to an eerie daytime gloom.

Almost as predictable as the eclipse is that traffic towards the path of totality will be heavy on the morning of 8 April 2024.

Accommodation rates are astronomical: even humdrum motel rooms in Niagara, central in the path of totality, are selling for C$600 (£350) for the night of 7-8 April 2024.

Where will the great American eclipse 2024 be visible?

The path of totality makes landfall from the Pacific at Mazatlan on Mexico’s Pacific Coast and sweeps northeastwards to reach the US-Mexican border at Piedras Negras.

In the US, three big Texan cities – San Antonio, Austin and Dallas – are on the extremes of the path of totality; many citizens are likely to drive to locations near the centre of the line.

Arkansas will be an attractive place to see the eclipse , with both Texarkana (on the border with Texas) and Little Rock within the path of totality.

In the Midwest, Indianapolis and Cleveland share the distinction of being fairly central in the path of totality. In upstate New York, Buffalo and nearby Niagara Falls (shared with Canada) could be extremely attractive – though prone in early April to cloudy skies.

In Canada , Montreal is just touched by the path of totality. The line then reverts to the US, passing across northern Maine – which promises to be a superb with clear skies. Then back to Canada’s Maritime Provinces, with New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland all in the line of darkness.

Will I be able to see a partial eclipse from the UK?

Yes. The eclipse ends with the sunset in the eastern Atlantic, about 600 miles off the coast of Cornwall , before it reaches the UK and Ireland . But on the island of Ireland and western parts of Great Britain, a partial eclipse may be visible with the sun low in the sky.

If skies are clear and you have an open view to the west, it will start at around 7.55pm in Cardiff, Liverpool , Manchester, Edinburgh and Glasgow.

BBC Weather presenter Simon King said: “With the partial solar eclipse occurring late in the day UK time, the Sun will be low to the horizon and will actually set before the spectacle is over.”

Can I combine an exciting city with a partial eclipse?

Boston, New York and Chicago are among the big cities that will see a sizeable chunk of the sun blotted out. Viewer as far apart as Alaska and the far north of Colombia and the Caribbean will, if skies are clear and they use the correct eye protection, see a partial eclipse. But there is nothing to compare with a total eclipse.

Eclipse guru Dr Mason sums up the difference between a 99 per cent partial eclipse and a total eclipse as far apart as “a peck on the cheek and a night of passion”.

“There will be people who will look at the map and say, ‘I live in Cincinnati or I live in Columbus [Ohio] and I’m just outside the zone of totality. But I’m going to get a 99 per cent-plus eclipse, so maybe I won’t bother to travel’.

“What they don’t realise is there an enormous difference between 99 per cent and 100 per cent. And there’s a range of phenomena that they won’t see if they put up with 99 per cent.”

You must use special eclipse safety glasses or viewers when viewing a partial eclipse or during the partial phases of a total solar eclipse.

Where should I be for the total experience?

There are no guarantees of clear skies: all you can do is play the odds based on the record of cloud cover for the corresponding date in previous years.

Dr Mason says the average expected cloud cover amounts increase from around 40-45 per cent on the Mexico/Texas border to over 80 per cent in Maine, New Brunswick and Newfoundland.

Three particularly tempting locations:

Southern Texas , close to San Antonio or Austin. Besides clear skies being more likely than not, access is easy with direct flights to Austin. Importantly there is much to explore in the region before and after the eclipse, from Big Bend National Park on the Rio Grande to Space Center Houston – an excellent place to continue the cosmological theme.
Northern Arkansas , a picturesque part of the state, with the added attraction of Memphis just a couple of hours away.
Niagara Falls : the dramatic border between the US and Canada could be an eclipse washout due to clouds. But the natural surroundings are impeccable – and there is plenty of accommodation, which will avoid the risk of being caught in severe traffic congestion on the freeways from Toronto and locations in New York State.

However, the most recent forecasts for cloud cover suggest that the Midwest around Indianapolis and the northeastern state of Maine could have the best prospects.

When are the next total solar eclipses?

Summer 2026 – Wednesday 12 August, to be precise – should bring a spectacular eclipse visible in northern Spain at the height of the European holiday season. The path of totality begins in the Arctic and crosses Greenland and Iceland before arriving in the northern half of Spain. The stripe of darkness will traverse the great cities of Bilbao, Zaragoza and Valencia in mainland Spain before arriving in Palma de Mallorca.

The following summer (2 August 2027), the southern tip of mainland Spain is in the path of totality for an eclipse that will sweep across North Africa and the Arabian peninsula : going east from the Strait of Gibraltar, it will encompass Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, the northeasternmost corner of Sudan, Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

Just under 12 months later, on 22 July 2028, Outback Australia will be the place to be. A total eclipse will make landfall in northern Western Australia, sweep across the Northern Territory and part of southwest Queensland – then clean across New South Wales, with Sydney in the middle of the path of totality.

Winter cloud cover could disrupt the experience in Australia’s largest city – and is very likely in the southern portion of New Zealand’s South Island where the eclipse reaches a finale.

Australia also features in the cosmological plans on 25 November 2030. This is early summer in the southern hemisphere, and likely to be good conditions for viewing in Namibia, Botswana and South Africa (Durban is on the path of totality) as well as South Australia.
