Grab some friends and start packing! North America's best cities for a girls' trip have been revealed, and a Canadian city has been named the best of the best.

Whether you're in need of a spontaneous weekend away with your besties or you want to plan some late Galentine's Day travel, these spots offer everything you need for the perfect getaway, including spas, cheap hotel rates, and clubs, with multiple Canadian destinations among the top spots globally.

The list includes both vibrant cityscapes and serene retreats, meaning something for every kind of girls' weekend.

Betway rounded up 41 of the top cities across the U.S. and Canada for a girls' trip. The online casino looked at all the essentials for a fun weekend away, including everything from the cost of a hotel and average fare for a taxi to the price of McDonald’s at the end of the night.

The top spot in the two countries for a girls' trip was found to be Montreal, which scored highly thanks to its reasonable average hotel prices ($168 per night), extensive list of spas (boasting 240 in total), and "vibrant" club scene.

"Known for its rich cultural scene, Montreal offers a perfect blend of sophistication and fun," says Betway.

If a girls' trip to Montreal sounds right up your alley, be sure to check out the city's Nordic spas like the Scandinave Spa in Old Montreal or Strøm Nordic Spa on Nun's Island.

The city also boasts several delicious brunch spots, including Fabergé and Larry's, as well as incredible shopping, with many stylish boutiques and quaint shops in Old Montreal.

Following Montreal, the second-best Canadian city for a girls' trip was Edmonton, Alberta. The city was found to have average hotel prices of $96 per night, 138 spa listings and a not-too-shabby 16 clubs.

Finally, Regina was ranked as the third-best Canadian city for a girls' getaway, with average hotel prices of $75 per night, 36 spas, and three clubs.

Other Canadian cities to crack the top 10 destinations on the list include Kelowna, B.C., which ranked fourth-best in Canada and eigth overall, and Toronto, which ranked fifth-best in Canada and ninth overall.

Kelowna boasts a high number of spas (215 in total), though it did fall a bit short with only three clubs and higher average rates for hotel rooms ($193 per night).

Toronto, on the other hand, is home to 66 clubs, but fewer spas (120) and higher average hotel rates ($200 per night).
