Town Takeover is an annual trip that is guaranteed to make it out of the group chat.
Our mission is simple: make it easier for friends to travel together. For generations, group trips have been set up to fail by friends bailing last minute, one person that wants to make their itinerary your itinerary, and everyone having a different idea of how much to spend.
That's why each year, we pick incredible spots, vote as a group, and set you up with everything you need. From group chats and shared calendars to local rental options, we handle the logistics so you can build a vacation you're actually excited for.
The result? A trip with no official structure. Show up three days late, bring that guy you met at the airport, host a Norwegian cooking class, and become our neighbor as we take over a new town.
Six steps from voting on a destination to
feeling at home in a foreign city.
Every year we carefully select a number of incredible destinations for you to vote on. The winning city becomes next year's adventure.
(We’re researching the 2027 locations now. Voting opens after they’re announced.)
We curate nearby rentals so the whole group stays within walking distance. Browse options, pick your spot, and know your neighbors are just around the corner.
We put together a travel guide covering the best food, activities, and local secrets. Think of it as a cheat sheet so you can skip the tourist traps and live like a local.
Join the group chat months before the trip. Share travel plans, organize activities, and start making friends before you ever leave home.
Use the community calendar to plan group dinners, day trips, and meetups. Anyone can create events, so the week fills up with options organically.
Land in a new city already surrounded by friends. Share meals, split adventures, and make the kind of memories that only happen when a whole community travels together.
