Take The Party Bus

If you are looking for an easy way to see all the local hotspots in a safe manner, consider hiring a party bus. Get a group together and pay a flat fee to be picked up and dropped off at your hotel. Drinks and food will be provided on the bus, and even some complimentary drinks at the local spots. You will still need to bring money, of course, but overall this is a safe and cost-effective way to go bar and club hopping. This is a good way to relax and enjoy a fun evening if you have a bunch of friends. It eliminates worries of transportation and getting lost, or missing out on the best bars and clubs.
