How to Search The 50 by Destination for Places to Eat, Drink and Stay

Use the Search by destination tool inside The 50 Discovery section on the50.com. Enter a location or pick one of the popular destinations shown, and the results cover restaurants, bars, hotels and vineyards in that area. This works whether you already have a city in mind or want to browse where the site's global experts have voted for the best places.

Where the destination search lives

The 50 (formerly 50 Best) organizes its site around four venue types — Restaurants, Bars, Hotels and Vineyards — plus a discovery layer. The destination search sits under The 50 Discovery, described on the site as a way to "search by destination" and "explore the world's best places to eat, drink and stay, as voted by our global experts."

That means the search is not a general web search. It returns venues that have been recognized through The 50's expert voting, filtered to the place you choose.

Step by step

1. Open the site. Go to the50.com.
2. Go to The 50 Discovery. This is the section built around destination-based exploration.
3. Choose how to search:
   • Browse popular destinations if you want inspiration or aren't set on a city.
   • Enter a specific location in the destination search field if you know where you're going.
4. Review the results. Venues appear across the four categories — restaurants, bars, hotels and vineyards — so you can plan a full trip (where to eat, drink and stay) from one search.
5. Narrow by venue type if you only want, say, hotels or bars for that destination.

Expected result: a destination-specific list of recognized venues you can use to build an itinerary or shortlist.

What you can do once you find places

• Save venues and articles to your account.
• Create and share your own lists — useful for planning a trip or sending recommendations to friends.
• Sign up for the weekly newsletter if you want new rankings and stories delivered.

Saving and list-building require a free account (the site shows a Register option under "Sign Up to Discover More"). Browsing destinations and reading stories does not require an account based on the page.

Practical tips and common sticking points

• Start broad, then narrow. If a specific neighborhood returns little, search the city or region instead — the site's coverage is built around destinations, not street-level addresses.
• Check all four categories. A destination search isn't only restaurants; the same place may surface standout bars, hotels and vineyards that are easy to miss if you stop at the first tab.
• Use popular destinations for discovery. If you're flexible, browsing the featured destinations is faster than guessing at locations.
• Expect editorial coverage, not a booking engine. The site connects you to the best in global hospitality through rankings and stories; it presents venues rather than handling reservations.
• Cross-reference with Stories and Films. The site's Stories and Films sections add context on the people and places behind the rankings — helpful when deciding between shortlisted venues.
