    Southampton......but on 2nd thoughts Peterborough is closer for you:beer:
  • Krakow! The main square is full of bars and restaurants, quite a few stag groups were there when I went just over a year ago. We went early September and the weather was gorgeous.

    We booked through Expedia and got 3 nights with breakfast including flights (but not transfers) for £175 each.

    2012? You could always go when Poland/Ukraine host the Euros in the football, would be a great atmosphere whether your into football or not

    Krakow is the place to go, loads of bars etc, 4 of us went 2 years ago not as good as Amsterdam but a close second. Ryanair fly there from Stansted, dont know where your from though? Enjoy!

    Krakow, Warsaw or maybe Gdansk. If you went to Krakow in winter you could pop down to Zakopane which is a ski resort, only been there on day trips from Krakow but they had paragliding etc going on. (then again you could do that in summer if you didn't want to ski!)
    At least the fish fingers are still frozen, that's what I keep telling myself (Truly Madly Deeply)

    Take a look at https://www.cracow-life.com for some decent info. Been there twice myself, once for a stag do then went again with the wife.

    If you are there on a Monday, make sure you visit this place https://www.podwawelem.eu as they do half price drinks. Also, CK Browar is worth a visit, if you need any more info nearer the time, just PM me.

    EDIT: Forgot to add, we had a great trip to a shooting range which was good fun (except the minibus ride there and back). This is the place, if you book direct it should work out a lot cheaper that through some 'tour' organisers: https://www.krakow-valley.com/idm,173,shooting-range.html
