SINGAPORE - Looking to tread terrain still untouched by foreign stag expeditions? Want to unwind in luxury or drink up the sun? Lonely Planet lists the world's top 10 party cities in its new guide, the “1000 Ultimate Experiences.”

1. Belgrade, Serbia

The long years of bad press that kept Serbia off the map have now passed, and foreigners are now realizing what locals always knew — that Belgrade really rocks. With an exuberant population and its legacy as an intellectual hangout, Belgrade offers varied nightlife, ranging from eclectic watering holes for those in the know, to the busy restaurants and bars of the Skadarlija district and the summer clubs in barges on the Sava and Danube Rivers.

2. Montreal, Canada

Easygoing Montreal is increasingly popular with foreign travelers, who enjoy the joie de vivre of a place with bilingual ambience, good local beer and even skiing at nearby Mt Royal. Montreal's irrepressible student population and atmospheric old quarter give the city a light-hearted, Bohemian air. There are Old World cafes, cool jazz clubs, packed discos and late bars to choose from, plus a popular comedy festival each July.

3. Buenos Aires, Argentina

With its unique mix of European and South American cultures, and a native passion for dance, the Argentine capital provides fertile ground for lively nightlife. There's an emphasis on fashion and a diverse range of entertainment offerings in Buenos Aires' barrios. Relax at a swinging jazz club or dance all night by the waterfront; some clubs and cultural centres offer classes so you can learn to tango or salsa like a local. There's everything from Irish pubs and local folk to house parties.

4. Dubai, United Arab Emirates

For those who can afford it, the world capital of conspicuous consumption is unbeatable...

I've never been to europe, the first country I would like to visit is Serbia, because they had the guts to stand up to Islam Terrorists.

The rest of western europe, minus the UK and Ireland, can eat sheep-sheet.

6th Street is a true gem!

I have to disagree on the Riverwalk, though. It’s busy during the day on the weekends, but it’s dead by 9PM Friday and Saturday nights. When I first moved there, we went to the Riverwalk three or four times looking for a good time, but just left it after that.

We drove to Austin a couple of times a month because the crowds and the ladies had no equal in San Antonio. Coyote Ugly Austin vs. Coyote Ugly San Antonio was a joke. The bar sucks anyway, but the girls in San Antonio really were dogs!

Spent a couple months in Italy and liked it very much, especially the people in Milan & Bologna (off the tourist track) -- and the Lakes are magnificent.

I went to Greece ten years ago and absolutely loved it. If not for the EU nonsense, would stake out a little place on one of the islands and live there.

Believe it or not, never been to Serbia, although I went to Montenegro, Herzegovina and Croatia when it was still part of Yugoslavia back in the late 1970's. Hated it when I got there, but by the end of the trip (six weeks later) I hated to leave -- although that trip gave me a new-found respect for a America and appreciation for what I had previously taken for granted in my life.

I used to feel like I culturally had one foot on one continent and one on another. Since the rise of the EU, they can keep Europe -- America is my continent and the US is my country. The EU can go screw itself. The EU is turning the wonderful colors, contrasts and flavor of Europe's various cultures into a boring, tasteless "EU stew", devoid of anything that warms or stirs the soul. It's like Europe has become "Germanized" -- regimented and efficient, but cold & boring.

Athens used to be wonderful for party people until they let in all those so called mohameddans.

Thessaloniki is jumping - was there in the summer..but it’s much nicer in the winter.

We cannot wait to go to Belgrade - to party and pray.

the new Athens!
