A Fantastic Stag Weekend in Riga - the Greatest in Pre
Wedding Fun, Part One
Your Wedding is meant to be the greatest day of your life but
who says that your stag weekend can't be the greatest weekend of
your life? Read on for some excellent stag weekend ideas in
Eastern Europe.
When it comes to the perfect stag weekend, Prague is certainly
having its moment in the sun. For the better part of ten years
the Czech capital has been the 'it girl' of the former Eastern
bloc. And just like 'it girls' from Essex to Primrose Hill,
Prague is being done like a dinner. Those who aren't already
going there are thinking of going there and everybody else
already went in the 80s before, like, it became so popular. Now
there's nothing wrong with abandoning Bournemouth and Skegness
in favour of a bit of Iron curtain history and culture, in fact
it's where the smart money is. But listen up people, there's a
whole map out there filled with quirky, exotic and down right
crazy locations that are just champing at the bit to show you a
good time. So let's start with the new kids on the Eastern Bloc.
Think of them as best friends you're yet to meet. Lovers you're
yet to kiss, you get the drift. So here are some handy hints,
interesting facts, useless trivia and some
slap-your-granny-you-can't-be-serious exchange rates on places
that you might want to consider upon organizing the mother of
all stag weekends. Gentlemen, get your phrase books ready.
Riga
Right now the capital of Latvia is one of the brightest stars on
the European Horizon. As a result of frequent and cheap flights,
an excellent exchange rate and - if you happen to hail from a
European Community country - visa-free travel, more tourists
than ever packing their phrase books and flocking to sunny Riga.
And courtesy of a smorgasbord of thrilling activities and a
smokin' nightlife Riga is also quickly becoming the stag weekend
destination of choice. So don your pastalas* and head over to
the Paris of the Baltics, where the party is only just
beginning.
Jumping Juniper! They Sure Know How to Make Them There
Drinks!
They sure do. Those crazy Latvians have been making their
legendary Riga Black Balsam since the 18th Century to a strictly
guarded recipe which, some say, contains over 99 individual
ingredients mixed in pure Vodka. The liqueur is also said to
have curative properties with Lativian grannies everywhere
sneaking a sip to cure everything from toothache to cancer. At
about 90 proof we can only attest that it certainly has
properties of a most 'transformative' nature. Other than the
blessed Balsam, Lativians know how to brew a decent beer with
Aldaris being one of the national favourites.
