Go wild at these popular party locales
Spring-break time is here, sounding the signal for some no-holds-barred vacationing – as such, we've concocted a list of the best places to party during this raucous time off. For some of us, this short break is an excuse to visit the world’s most salacious spots, where illicit activities, like underage drinking and access to red light districts, are more popular than sight-seeing. You'll find plenty of forbidden fruit on offer in a liberal European capital, a Thai island, and, closer to home, a Canadian city – a trio which, notwithstanding, is known to offer a good dose of culture, too. For those content with the spring-break staples of beaches, bikinis, and beer, we’ve counted two homegrown beach cities that make the grade and, of course, a Caribbean and Mexico option. Rounding out our list are some unexpected spots, however, including something for do-gooders, a final ski getaway, and a desert-fringed lake in America’s Southwest. Party on!
