20-somethings
The 20s are a time of celebration, lights, cameras and action – whether you’re famous or not. Unless you live in these cities, they make for awesome birthday destinations for a weekend or week-long trip.
Las Vegas or Miami – Celebrate your 21st birthday in style by booking a trip to Vegas or Miami, now that it’s finally legal to go clubbing, drinking and gambling in these nightlife hubs.
New York City – On everyone’s bucket list, you can truly enjoy the youthful vibes of the City That Never Sleeps during your twenties. From shopping to shows, pubs, fancy restaurants and people watching, NYC is bound to keep a piece of your heart.
Nashville or New Orleans – If you love live music, cool bar scenes and good food, head to New Orleans or Nashville.
30-somethings
By the time you hit the big 3-0, you’ll likely start feeling like an adult. That’s the perfect excuse to hit the road to one or more of your dream birthday destinations. Of course, you’ll have to extend it from a quick weekend getaway to something a little longer, because you’re older and – well, you’re moving slower, right? *wink*
