A Boys’ Trip To Remember
More than an excuse for one last blackout hurrah before your buddy gets hitched, a bachelor party is a great opportunity to knock some items off your bucket list with your best pals. To make planning as easy as possible, we’ve compiled 20 popular destinations. Whether you’re looking for domestic or international, high-key or low-key, we’ve got you covered.
1. Las Vegas
The granddaddy of bachelor party spots, Vegas shouldn’t be written off just because it’s popular. For high-octane groups that want a night to remember (even if they don’t), Vegas has it all: high-caliber casinos, spectacular shows, celebrity chef restaurants, and picturesque pools. Just try not to recreate The Hangover, okay?

2. Miami
Want to party hard without the claustrophobia of the Vegas Strip? Miami is your place to go. A sun-drenched city that never sleeps, Miami offers a taste of luxury and some of the best Cuban food in the country. There’s nothing like lying out on the beach to recover after a night out.
3. New Orleans
Bourbon Street may be the most famous of the Big Easy’s many attractions, but it’s far from the only one. The birthplace of jazz is one of the most happening cities in the South, with year-round festivals, jaw-dropping historical architecture, and one-of-a-kind Cajun cuisine.
4. Philadelphia
If you’d like a side of history with your craft beer and cheesesteak, Philly is the city for you. Run up the steps to the Rocky Statue, check out the crack in the Liberty Bell, or—if you’re feeling adventurous—check out the Mütter Museum’s medical oddities…including half of Einstein’s brain!
5. Scottsdale
For a more relaxed (but no less fun) stag, check out Scottsdale. With high-ranking golf courses providing a pop of color in the desert, luxury resorts, and ATV excursions, Scottsdale offers a change of pace compared to the typical rager. Bonus points if you take a day to see the spectacular views at the Grand Canyon.
6. Atlantic City
A mini-Vegas with the beach on your doorstep, Atlantic City is a great choice for a bachelor party. Slightly less flashy than other casino destinations, it’s easier to navigate than bigger cities but no less fun. Gamble and dance your nights away along the boardwalk for some old-timey charm.
7. Louisville
At the heart of Kentucky’s Bourbon Trail, Louisville is a great spot if the groom is a bourbon fiend. Not only can you tour iconic distilleries like Maker’s Mark, but you can even try blending some yourself! And no trip to Louisville is complete without a visit to the Louisville Slugger Museum for America’s favorite pastime.
8. Jackson Hole
There’s no shame in living out cowboy fantasies, and Jackson Hole is just the place to do it. Cheaper than other ski towns such as Aspen and less touristy than Nashville, Jackson Hole has western charm with whitewater rafting, national parks, and, of course, immaculate slopes during winter.
9. Judd Lake
Alaska may seem like a long way to go for a bachelor, but we promise you won’t regret it. Surrounded by some of the most beautiful landscapes on the planet, you can waterski, wakeboard, hike a glacier, or just soak in a thermal hot tub.
10. Charleston
Another atypical bachelor destination, Charleston is one of the friendliest cities in the country. The cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages, and pastel houses will transport you to Europe without leaving the East Coast. The food capital of the US, make sure not to leave without trying shrimp & grits.
11. Dublin
If you’re willing to cross the Atlantic for a good time, there’s no better place on earth for a pub crawl than Dublin. Poke fun at the groom with one of the city’s famous comedy shows, take in some traditional Irish music, and even pedal around the city on a pedi-bike. Just make sure you avoid the tourist trap that is Temple Bar.
12. Amsterdam
Amsterdam is so well-known for its parties that Googling “bachelor party Amsterdam” will net you multiple companies who will handle the planning for you. Amsterdam’s laissez-faire, party-welcoming attitude makes it easy to understand why it’s so popular. Take care not to trip into a canal.
13. Ibiza
Ibiza is known for three things: music, dancing, and beaches. Sure, you can get all those things back in the States, but if you can afford to splurge, then why not go all out for the party capital of the world? If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!
14. Cancún
Not just for students on spring break, Cancún’s beaches and nightlife show off a well-earned reputation. Party animals can head straight to the Zona Hotelera, while traditionalists can people-watch around the flea markets and food stalls of El Centro. You can even go skydiving for an adrenaline rush!
15. Montreal
A city of bagels, smoked meat, and Leonard Cohen, Montreal is the thinking man’s bachelor destination. Like Charleston, a trip to Montreal feels like a trip back in time thanks to its French colonial history and nearly 400 years of history. Enjoy craft breweries, take in a Cirque du Soleil show, and don’t worry too much about the language barrier if your French isn’t up to par.
16. Nassau
In terms of tropical getaways, Nassau is hard to beat. The Bahamian capital offers coral reefs for snorkeling, pastel architecture for posting on Instagram, and plenty of all-inclusive resorts for lounging. Whether you’re partying on a yacht or swimming with sharks, a stag in Nassau will be a party to remember.
17. Bangkok
You know how the song goes: “One night in Bangkok and the world’s your oyster.” That said, we hope you’ll spend more than one night in the City of Angels. Enjoy an authentic Thai river cruise, sip drinks from 61 stories in the air, or splash around in exclusive pool parties.
18. Berlin
Party until dawn at one of the coolest cities in Europe, step into an art history textbook at Museum Island, or both! Berlin is one of the most versatile cities for those who want a mix of culture and parties. Just promise us you won’t challenge any Germans to a drinking contest.
19. Porto
One of the oldest European cities and one of the most budget-friendly, Porto’s gorgeous location on the Iberian coast and wine culture are unmissable. With a more intimate, less authentic atmosphere than Lisbon, Porto is fast becoming a go-to destination for wine lovers, partiers, and sightseers.

20. Tijuana
A hop, skip, and a jump over the border, Tijuana is normally tacked on to San Diego visits but deserves your full attention. Tijuana may have a seedy reputation, but its Baja shrimp tacos, craft beer, and mariachi bands are one of a kind. If you’re there on a Friday night, make sure you catch a lucha libre match!
