13 Cities that Look Better in Dark Mode

Good news! The Expedia App now supports iOS 13. That means: flights, hotels and all the native portions will be available in Dark Mode! Dark Mode is such an impressive capability on the app, saves a ton of battery life, helps protect your eyes from the brightness of the screens, and offer better experiences for those midnight trip planning sessions! 

In commemoration of Apple’s new update, we’ve outlined 13 cities that are best experienced in the dark. Whether it’s the City of Lights, or the world’s largest skyline, these cities are best seen at night.

1. Las Vegas

Few cities can compare to the nightlife and skylights of Las Vegas. Sin City is perfect for dark mode with its sparkling cityscapes and dark desert skies.
