Prague has become one of the most popular destinations for British stag parties in recent years, earning titles such as “Stag Capital of Europe” and “Amsterdam of the East”. But with all the excitement the city has to offer, it’s certainly no surprise.

As one of Europe’s most beautiful and charming cities, Prague has some incredible architecture for history fans, including Gothic spires, ancient coffee houses and medieval streets. However, it’s the city’s beautiful female inhabitants, wide range of strip bars and night clubs, top class restaurants and beer costing as little as 50p a pint that makes Prague the real winner among British stag groups.

By day, Prague caters to stag groups by offering a huge range of activities which the lads can enjoy together. Whatever your level of love for the outdoors, you’ll be able to find an activity of interest – ranging from bobsleighing to bowling, paintballing to parachuting, clay pigeon shooting to a Czech football match. Or, how about a mini grand-prix race on the go-kart track followed by a tour of a local brewery? Those seeking a real jet fuelled experience can even get strapped into the Czech-made L-29 military plane, where they’ll climb at 4000ft per minute and fly through Czech airspace at over 700km per hour!

By night, Prague’s numerous bars and night clubs pulsate with activity. One of the most famous night spots is the multi-venue Acropolis which hosts a number of live gigs, theatre performances, cafés, club nights, bars and beer halls, making it one of the most well frequented night spots in the city. Eating out in Prague is great value and the perfect way to sample some hearty Czech cuisine, such as pork or beef stew with dumplings and delicious apple strudel for dessert, all washed down with a pivo (beer), for which the Czech Republic is world famous. There are also many western style and fast food restaurants, so there’s something to suit all palettes.

With so many established companies offering fully organised stag weekends to Prague, arranging your trip is simple. Most companies have stag weekend package deals to suit all budgets, which include transfers, accommodation and offer plenty of additional options to cater to the tastes of any group. And the fact that there are so many flights to Prague from London and throughout the UK, which take only two hours to reach the Czech Republic, means the city is easily accessible from the UK at a low price.

So, if you’re looking for a place to hold a stag weekend you’ll find no better city than Prague – the European stag capital!

In recent years Budapest has become one of Europe’s most popular travel destinations, providing a unique blend of stunning architecture, nightlife and surprisingly reasonable prices.

Thanks to low cost booze, accessibility from the UK and a tolerant attitude towards larger parties, it has also become extremely popular for stag weekends. If you want a stag party that is a little different from your local pub crawl then here are some tips on drinking in Budapest, the best places to go, price and general etiquette.

Budapest has a great variety of bars from the elegant up-market establishments to more rough and ready beer halls that provide an atmosphere and charm all their own – not to mention excellent beer. With such bars aplenty you will have no problem finding one to your liking and that will fit into your Budapest stag weekend theme.

For a traditional Hungarian experience, and with some extremely cheap drinking to boot, you will want to visit a borozo, wine pub, or a sorozo, a beer bar. The former sells cheap but drinkable Hungarian wine at ridiculously low prices, while in the latter you can buy beers for as little as 60p (although decent beers will cost you around £1.50) with spirits being a little more expensive at about £1.50 a shot. Prices to get into clubs can vary in general you can expect to pay between £1.00 and about £3.20. A lot of the clubs open at 10pm but you can always find pubs and clubs that open earlier to cater for the Brit who wants to start early. On top of this the majority of clubs stay open to six in the morning – and many stay open even later. This means that a European stag weekend is a good choice whether you want to start early and party hard or not.

One of the most popular areas to go is Hajogyari Sziget (Shipyard Island), where you’ll find various clubs to suit all tastes from huge outdoor venues to more intimate spots. Another popular place, and one that is said to attract the most beautiful women, is the Café Negro club in Pest. Café Negro not only has some of the best local DJs, and drinks, but also houses a restaurant that is well worth visiting. If you’re home sick and can’t stand being away from your local boozer then there is the always the Morrison English Pub. The great thing about this place is that many travellers go there as well so it easy to find a hen night on a similar tour.

When it comes to drinking etiquette, clinking beer glasses used to be frowned upon. It is said that the Austrian’s clinked their glasses to celebrate the putting to death of a group of Hungarian Generals in 1848 and as such was viewed censoriously by the locals. However, the tradition of not clinking was set to last 150 years – thus in 1998 the widely adopted disdain for clinking expired and Hungarians now clink away with fervour.

Another thing is that although the Hungarians are fairly tolerant they will frown upon large groups of highly inebriated stag partiers – in fact their frowns may be so hard that they could give you a black eye. However, take it easy and enjoy the Hungarians hospitality and your stag weekend will remain memorable and safe – a memorable send off into married life.
