The Best Destinations for Weekend Getaways

If it's just you looking to get away, weekend getaways on the beach or enjoying a vibrant city atmosphere are rewarding options. Florida is known for its white sand beaches with on-site bars and restaurants. Florida's beachside cities also have thriving downtown scenes. Chicago is likewise a popular city break destination in summer because of its festivals, diverse restaurants and unique cultural tours. Locations like these are ideal for couples and single travelers who want to treat themselves.

Family Weekend Getaways

A family getaway is best when it's packed with activities. Destinations like Texas offer theme parks, water parks, hiking and camping grounds in extremely diverse landscapes, from the Great Plains and Coastal Plains to towering mountains and the Rio Grande river. In Austin, take a boat ride or go hiking with the youngsters at Lady Bird Lake. Wisconsin is also a good choice; the resort city of Lake Geneva has one of the largest indoor water parks open your-round. Whether it's summer or winter, vacationers of all ages can take advantage of these attractions. Parents can take it easy while their children play, or join in the fun.

Why Plan a Weekend Getaway?

Using the weekend to get away is a cost-effective alternative. With just enough time to explore and rest, vacationers can take it all in without neglecting daily life for too long. Hit several destinations in a year rather than just one, and stack up the memories.

How We Produced This Guide about the Price of Clubbing in 50 Cities


To decide on the top 50 club destinations worldwide, we used online mapping tools, events listings websites, and city guides to understand the number of venues in hundreds of cities around the world. We used the same sites to identify which cities have the most venues, and the most events listed. We used online user review websites to understand the quality of the venues. The shortlist compromises the cities with the most venues, the highest number of events listings, and the top-rated user reviews.


To rank the cities based on price, we contacted at least 5 venues in each city to find out their cover charge and drinks prices. Based on this data, we calculated a city average for each of the 50 destinations. We contacted the top-rated clubs in each city, using online user review websites to judge which were the best quality. For more information on the different price categories, please see the list below:


Cover charge: Cost of entry on a Saturday night.

Price of a beer: 12 oz. domestically produced beer.

Price of a long drink: One regular gin & tonic.

Price of a shot: 1 oz. vodka.


To produce the venues per capita ranking, we divided the total number of licensed venues in each city by the city's most recent population estimate. Population estimates are available online and are calculated by city councils based on census data. 


All prices in USD. Exchange rates were calculated on Friday, April 13th, 2018. For additional information and interview requests, please contact [email protected]
