Stag Do/Three Night Break in Europe!! Help Please ;-)

Hi. One of my best friends is getting married in July and we need to sort something out ASAP for his stag do. Im guessing there will about 10 of us going. It doesnt need to be a traditional stag do location, but we wouldnt mind at all. :p
Requirements- Must be in April or June.

The stag wants to fly out on a Thursday and return on a Sunday-anytime in April or June (he is very busy in may :().

It has to be from a North West Airport, Ideally Manchester

CHEAP as possible. As everyone knows Stag do's can get messy :o and therefore we need as much spending money as possible- saved from actual flying and hotel costs.

The location is not that important....we are open to a variety of destinations ( I am anyway :D) , though I'd expect it to be Europe considering budgets.

Talking of budget- Im hoping for a really good deal (for flights and accomodation) £200 at maximum. I think this is very realistic only because I have found Munich on Easyjet flying on Thursday 7th April returning on the 10th sunday for £170 (including baggage and breakfast) from Manchester.

All you nice people out there, Im calling on you to help me out and better what I have found. Or at very least point me which sites to look at?

Even though this deal is very good, in an ideal world we would be going in June and to an even better destination . And hopefully even cheaper.
Im not sure its possible? thanks in advance everyone

    Anything in Magaluf?
    Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.
  • Ive not really looked richardw. I figured if I start looking at flights and accomodation separate for something quite specific, it will be over budget. Any advicewhere to look? cheers

    I had my stag do in Munich, organised by my best man. Yes it was during Oktoberfest but there are plenty of beer halls / gardens, and we went go-karting. We would have done abseiling on the Olympicstadium, but there was a rock concert there that weekend so we couldn't :(
    Also the BMW museum.
    We flew Stansted to Stuttgart, and took a train from there.

    Therefore I'd recommend your original suggestion ;)

    Thanks everyone for the advice. Please keep it coming ;-) This deal is Ok, apart from the 4-3-3 sharing-it would only be a tad more expensive for 2 in a room-when i checked it, so considering it.......

    Munich is a great place, I am off there again with OH and friends this Easter. Loads of Bierhalles everywhere.

    Other places to try that I've been to...

    Riga
    Tallin - went for N Year, small city but good bars and cheap.
    Warsaw - I live here at the moment and is good for bars restaurants and adventure sports are available too just outside the city.
    Berlin - went there for N Year and had a good time.
    Zagreb (Croatia) - I lived there too.. a small city with plenty of bars and a lake close by (10 min taxi) that comes alive at night with bars and clubs in the summer so June would be best.
    Budapest - another great city with loads going on.
    and of course...Prague a beautiful city and good for stags - just behave LOL.

    I don't know about flights etc, just some suggestions that could be good for a stag weekend.

    Amsterdam
    Prague
    Budapest
    Krakow
    Benidorm
    Magaluf
    Barcelona
    Albufeira

    These should all be possible within your budget :), maybe even Ibiza.
    Use Easyjet/RyanAir/Skyscanner to see when flights will be cheapest for you.
    April will be cheaper than June but as it's so close & there are bank holidays it may push the price up.

    Lol, I think my wife would have abandoned the wedding had women had anything to do with the stag party!
    As for nightlife, we were drinking all day from noon at the Oktoberfest one day (and after the karting the other day) in the big tents, but when they closed at 10.30pm we moved on to bars, of which there were plenty... And beer comes in 1l glasses :)
