Stags head to eastern Europe for great value

United Kingdom of Great Britain & N. Ireland -- Free-Press-Release.com-- Oct 11, 2011 -- This is good news for stag and hen groups looking for out-of-the-ordinary experiences that don’t bankrupt them in the process. Alasdair Adam, director of Eclipse Leisure, explains:

‘The desire to make your stag weekend stand out means the path less travelled is becoming a more appealing stag weekend idea. Eastern Europe’s continuing popularity with our stag groups is testament to the brilliant reputation of these up-and-coming party towns and the one-of-a-kind experiences our stag weekend packages can offer.’

According to a City Costs Barometer, compiled by the Post Office Travel Money Service, eastern European cities offer better value to tourists than elsewhere in Europe.

For the ultimate-value stag weekend, head to Riga, the capital city of Latvia. The easy-to-get-around city has a wealth of cultural history, but more importantly, it’s packed with great bars and clubs. There’s loads to do all year round, but it’s winter when Riga really comes into its own and stag groups can go on a snowmobile safari before hitting the town at night.

The world-renowned breweries and a lively nightlife of Prague make it an ever-popular choice for stag nights abroad. There’s more than enough to keep groups entertained throughout the weekend, whether your group’s looking for girls dancing on bars, jazz clubs, art cafes, or AK-47 shooting ranges. And it’s also ridiculously good value.

Budapest is not your run-of-the-mill stag do destination. Whether you’re taking a cruise down the river Danube, sampling the incredible nightlife, or trying caving, shooting or tank driving, you’ll never forget a stag weekend in Hungary.

Up-and-coming stag night hotspot Tallinn, the capital city of Estonia, ranks fourth for affordability. Tallinn is a 2011 European Capital of Culture, but you’ll probably be busier with motor paintballing and demolition derbies.

Coming in at number 5 in the rankings, Krakow cements Poland’s reputation as an affordable destination for UK travellers. With a superb live music scene, hundreds of bars, and lower prices than Warsaw, Krakow is a great choice for anyone looking for memorable stag or hen nights.
