BAR CRAWLS & BOOZE CRUISES · AROUND THE WORLD
Find the good night out before you land.

Worth the trip for the night out alone
Three cities built for a big night.
Some places you visit for the sights. Budapest, Amsterdam and Punta Cana you visit for the night: the ruin-bar crawl, the open bar on the water, the party boat with the rum flowing. These are the cities travellers come home telling stories about.
Hungary
Budapest
No city does the bar crawl quite like Budapest. The ruin bars are derelict courtyards and old apartment blocks filled with mismatched furniture, fairy lights and cheap palinka, and the best night is a guided crawl that strings four or five of them together through the old Jewish Quarter, with the shots and the queue-skipping handled for you. Few places turn a night out into the reason you came.

Netherlands
Amsterdam
Half of Amsterdam drinking happens on the water. A covered canal cruise with an open bar glides you past the gabled houses and under the low bridges of the Jordaan while the beer and wine keep coming, and the brown cafes wait for you when you step off. It is the rare night out that is sightseeing and a bar tab at the same time.
- 1 Amsterdam: Covered Canal Booze Cruise with Unlimited Drinks
- 2 Amsterdam: Canal Booze Cruise with Unlimited Drinks Option
- 3 Amsterdam: The Bulldog Boat Smoke and Booze Cruise
Dominican Republic
Punta Cana
The party in Punta Cana is offshore. A catamaran booze cruise runs the open bar from the moment you board, with a DJ, a natural pool to wade into waist-deep with a drink, and snorkelling for anyone still steady enough. One afternoon on the water does more for a trip than a week at the resort pool.

- 2 Full Day ATV Experience and Booze Cruise with Open Bar

Where to go thirsty
Three corners of the world built for a drink.
Start with the kind of night you are after. Each of these is a region the site covers deeply, and a different kind of drink waiting at the end of it.
Amsterdam
The bar comes with a view of the canals.
In Amsterdam the night drifts. A covered cruise slips you through the Jordaan and under the low bridges with the beer and wine included and the bar never closing, then the brown cafes take over once you step off. It is sightseeing and a bar tab rolled into one, and the only way to see the gabled houses with a drink already in your hand.

The ruin bars run till dawn.
A Budapest crawl strings together the ruin bars of the old Jewish Quarter, the derelict courtyards and crumbling apartment blocks filled with fairy lights, mismatched sofas and cheap palinka. A guide picks the four or five worth your night, skips the queues and pours the welcome shots, so all you do is keep up. Szimpla Kert is only the start.
See the best Budapest drink tours →Lisbon
Green wine, ginjinha and a rooftop at sunset.
Lisbon drinks in the old neighbourhoods: a sour-cherry ginjinha thrown back at a hole-in-the-wall counter, a glass of vinho verde at a tiled tasca, a sunset cocktail from a miradouro looking over the red roofs. A drink tour climbs the hills with you, from the back-street bars to the rooftops the funicular crowds walk straight past.
See the best Lisbon drink tours →Prague after dark
The best beer in the world, by the half-litre.
Czechs drink more beer per head than anyone, and Prague is where you find out why. A guided pub tour takes you from the centuries-old cellars to the local taprooms the stag parties never reach, pouring proper unfiltered Pilsner and the dark lagers, with a shot of Becherovka or absinthe along the way and the history poured in too.

- 2 Prague: Afternoon Beer Cruise with Drinks Included
- 3 Prague Castle and Pubs Tour with Drinks Included
By the hour
How big a night are you after?
A quiet glass on the Seine at golden hour. An open bar drifting down the Amsterdam canals. A full-throttle party boat off Punta Cana. Pick the city that sounds like your kind of night.
Ease in
Paris, one glass on the river.A happy-hour cruise down the Seine with a drink in hand and the city sliding past. Low-key, golden-hour, the kind of night that ends early and feels civilised. No costumes, no shots, just the view.
Find your level
Amsterdam, an open bar on the canals.A covered cruise through the Jordaan with the drinks included and the bar never closing. Loud enough to be a party, slow enough to take in the gables and the bridges. You set the pace.
Full send
Punta Cana, the all-in party boat.A catamaran with the rum flowing, a DJ on deck and a swim stop in water the colour of a cocktail. This is the one that ends with everyone sunburnt, hoarse and already planning the next.
Cancun
The party starts at the dock.
Cancun does its best drinking on the water. A catamaran pushes off toward Isla Mujeres with the bar open the whole way, a DJ running the deck and a snorkel stop in the turquoise shallows, then the night carries on at the beach clubs and tequila bars back on shore. A guided cruise puts you with the right crowd and skips the timeshare hustle on the strip.
