    When you decide, please let us know where and when you're going

    What he said ^^^ :D
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.

    My advice, is to let someone else arrange it. Too much hassle. Plus you've left it a bit late.

    Why do you need to go to Prague, no offence but you prob won't remember it much!

    Go somewhere in UK that is full of Stags. Everyone will thank you for it and you will still have a great time. If you remember it that is lol!

    Your stag friends will love you for this too financially if nothing else! More money for beer.

    Most of the lads are based in London.

    We were thinking of getting euro tunnel to Calahi in France and then driving to Brussels, thoughts? Too much hassle?

    Driving is far too much hassle. Plus good luck finding volunteers to sit behind the wheel home. Go to Ryanair or easyjet, look for wheres got the best flights on the day you want to go and comeback. Most cities in Europe can provide bars and clubs.

    If you are all in London and planning on driving to brussells , why not just get the eurostar straight out of london directly in to the city

    Personally I'd get the first couple of peoples money - your nearest and most commited and book the travel wherever that be

    I'd then tell the others the carrier and times and tell them to get on and book

    Give it a few weeks , get the confirmed numbers and then look for hotels

    These kind of trips are well known for drop outs and let downs and if you wait for all the monies , the chances are fares would have increased

    I did the above when organising a hen and it worked very very well

    Hi guys

    So me and 10 lads, aged 22-30 are all going on a stag in September

    We want to go somewhere in Europe for 2-3 days

    We are really liking Prague



    Typical lad stuff, drink, clubs, paintballing etc.

    But tbh, there may be better things to do?

    My questions are.

    Where is best to go?

    What is the best way to book it? Book flights and hotel separately?

    I know there are stag companys that can book it for you, but can be pretty expensive?


    Any other Advice you can give ?

    Thanks guys


    A friend of mine and I organised a stag for a friend in Bratislava. We all met in Vienna as that's where the stag lives and everyone was coming from different places in Europe.

    It was brilliant and weather should be nice in September. Cheap, tho maybe not quite as cheap as Prague, but easy to get to and the escape rooms they do there are about as good you'll find anywhere at reasonable prices.

    Cost for myself was about £300 for flights, hotel (shared with two others), hydrofoil from Vienna to Brat, escape rooms, meals and obviously drinks :eek: Sounds a lot but it was great to catch up with some mates, esp some who couldn't make the wedding.

    Maybe put a whatsapp group together and knock heads to get some ideas and so you're not clobbered with doing all the work, as my friend and I had to do :rotfl:

    Whatever you decide, hope you enjoy it.
