Utilizing Airbnb’s City Experiences for Luxury Travel

After launching ‘Experiences’ in November 2016, Airbnb has now expanded its purpose of simply providing lodging and accommodations to travelers. Users are now able to book experiences in nearly every city with the click of a button. Whether you’re looking to learn a new skill during your trip or just take in the sights and food, Airbnb has experiences spanning across the world. From cooking classes to learn the local cuisine to surfing excursions and lessons, you’re sure to find something for every age, skill level and interest. This is how we use some of our favorite experiences for luxury travel.

Food & Drink

Foodies and travelers alike will love the food and drink experiences available on Airbnb. Whether you’re looking for a market walk through Tokyo or wine tasting in Barcelona, there’s something for everyone to enjoy during their trip. Each experience has its own dates, provisions and hosts so you can easily fit your favorites into your schedule. We recommend taking a cooking class such as this one in the Chianti Hills that teaches you how to make homemade pasta. The group sizes are usually smaller so you’re able to get more one-on-more time with the hosts and ask as many questions as you need during your experience.

Classes & Workshops

Looking to learn a new skill or improve your photography while on vacation? Airbnb’s collection of classes and workshops has everything from salsa dancing in Havana to glass blowing in Chicago. No matter your skill level, the hosts are there to guide you along while ensuring you’re having a fun time. If you want to combine workshops with sight seeing, we recommend photography or portrait sessions like this one in Paris. You’ll be able to see the city from a local’s point of view, including tourist and lesser-known locations, while leaving with personalized photos to remember your experience while traveling.

Sports

It’s easy to start feeling sluggish while exploring a new city, whether it’s from all the amazing food you’re eating or the long hours spent traveling. Airbnb makes it easy to stay active with its sports experiences available throughout the world. Enjoy a bike ride through Bali’s hidden beauty or even a horseback ride through Cuba. If you’re feeling especially active, we recommend taking advantage of an ocean dive in Costa Rica to see the beautiful sea life or a surfing lesson on the shores of Sydney, Australia!

Entertainment

Maybe you’re looking for a little extra excitement during your travels. The entertainment experiences on Airbnb range from comedy shows to art tours and nightlife. You can even test your skills at a Latin dance class or play soccer with the locals. Many book up fast so we recommend reserving your spots ahead of time so you don’t miss out! The music experiences are some of our favorites, including intimate concerts and jazz crawls throughout the city. It’s also a great way to discover new artists that you would normally never find at home.

With the ability to book experiences in almost every destination, travelers are able to see the city through a local’s perspective directly through Airbnb. Whether you’re looking for a standalone activity or a multi-day excursion, users can find everything from historical tours to hang gliding. You can try several during your trip and get the most out of your destination. Looking for some adventure on your next getaway?
