Mexico certainly knows how to show travelers a good time and those with partying on their to-do list will find plenty of lively places to fulfill their goals. 

From buzzing beachfronts to charming towns with spectacular nightlife, Mexico is a party paradise and these spots won't disappoint.

Cancun and Riviera Maya

Oftentimes the best party in Cancun happens just steps from your resort room. The city's stellar all-inclusives make it easy to have a great time in the sun and by the sea in a safe environment. This is a budget-friendly option as well. Just don't forget to tip your bartender.

Travelers can also venture beyond Cancun to explore the Mexican Riviera in places like Playa del Carmen and Tulum. 

Mexico City

The Mexican capital is a premier nightlife destination and visitors are sure to have a blast in the city's Condesa, Roma and Hipodromo neighborhoods where they'll find plenty of cold drinks and good vibes.

Whether in search of gorgeous views or a great live band or DJ, Mexico City is certain to deliver.

Puerto Vallarta

Cocktails, music, dancing and all-around good times await visitors in Puerto Vallarta. This scenic seaside locale is one of the world's most LGBT-friendly destinations and appeals to travelers of all types.

Start your journey along the pedestrian-only Malecon (boardwalk) where you can hop from bar to bar until you find the right ambiance.

Guadalajara

Travelers will find Guadalajara further inland from Puerto Vallarta. In addition to the vibrant nightlife that awaits, visitors to this part of Mexico can venture to Tequila to take in magnificent agave fields, tour distilleries and, of course, taste tequila.

Guadalajara might not be your first choice but it's sure likely to be the most memorable stop.
