Budapest 

Usually a weekend affair Budapest, Hungary, is famously known for its cheap drinking and nightlife. It is home to over 269 bars across the city, and the average pint costing around £1.21- it is great for the stag party who plan to go on an all-weekend bar crawl. The city is also great for those who also enjoy a combination of culture and fun. There are so many activities to take part in such as visiting the Gellert Baths or taking out a day to visit Margaret Island.  

Prague  

Another very popular destination for stag dos, Prague is great for stag parties who want to live a lavish lifestyle for less. Famously known to be a lad’s paradise for many reasons, the capital city of the Czech Republic is gleaming with medieval European charm. It is a city of great weather, making it a perfect destination all year round whether it be a winter or summer wedding. Statistics have shown that Prague is catching sun rays for up 12.2 hours a day, and rains for just 78.2 days a year. 

H3 Krakow 

One of Central Europe’s most popular stag destinations, Krakow is a great combination of old and new. From walking the streets of Krakow that are filled with medieval architecture to enjoying the taste of the local ales in low-lit cellar pubs – Krakow is the perfect place for you and your stag party. It’s another cheaper stag do destination as the average weekend hotel cost is approximately £369. This saves plenty of room to splash out the cash on other activities such as taking a trip to the top nightclubs such as Amnesia and Pod Jaszczurami, alongside boat cruises across the Vistula River and white-water rafting.  

Benidorm 

Beaches, bars, and brilliant weather! Benidorm is a great stag do destination for those who want to soak up a bit of Spanish sun. It is perfect to visit all year round as it only rains for approximately 45 days a year and beams with sun rays for approximately 12 hours a day – the perfect opportunity to get a cheeky tan to emphasise that pre-wedding glow. A weekend away at a hotel in Benidorm on average costs around £145.50. It’s a great destination to visit as a majority of the town speaks English- so you won’t have to worry about a language barrier. Apart from soaking up the hot sun, make sure your stag party has plenty of time to get the drinks in, as the average pint costs 90p.  

Bucharest 

Another cheap destination to visit for a stag do, with hotels costing £73.50 for a weekend away, Bucharest has over 110 different bars to choose from, and you can buy your drink for as little as £1.20. Apart from a weekend filled with booze, the capital city of Romania has so much to offer from a visit to the Dracula Castle and Transylvania tour to exploring Romanian food cuisine by booking a food tour with a local guide.  

Cardiff 

If you are looking for a more local stag do location, Cardiff is a great option. The city has a broad range of places to stay, with the average hotel stay costing £418 for the weekend. If you’re looking to go on an all-nighter, there are over 299 bars and clubs to choose from. 

If bars and clubs are not your scene, there are a lot of wholesome activities to get involved in such as assault courses, white-water rafting and zorb football. But, of course, you can mix and match the weekend away to suit your groom better.
