Everybody knows that places like Venice and Paris are great destinations for couples, and that Washington D.C. and Rome are go-to trips for families, but where in the world should a group of friends go? 

People are asking that exact question now more than ever, especially on Pinterest — the search for "group travel" is up 367% from last year.

But despite its growing popularity, planning a vacation with a group of friends is tricky. Not only do you need to find a hotel that everyone can afford or a house that everyone can fit in, you need to pick a place that appeals to everyone, whether they're foodies, adventure-seekers, beach bums, or history buffs.

These 16 destinations should cover everyone.
