Bratislava: Stag Weekend Heaven

The Slovakian capital of Bratislava boasts a mingled atmosphere of Old World Charm and up to the minute chic energy that isn't found anywhere outside the old Eastern Bloc cities. The combination of hot girls and cool prices have made Bratislava one of the trendiest places for a stag weekend on the Continent. The incredibly cheap prices (50p for a brew in a local pub) attract the trade, and in true capitalist fashion, the steady inpouring of randy stag partiers has attracted more activities, which in turn attract more Bratislava stag weekend business.

The only problem you'll be faced with when planning a stag party in Bratislava is which of the incredible array of activities to include on your itinerary. Let your Stag be your guide there. If he's a fairly typical bloke, you'll find all the traditional typical stag weekend activities in Bratislava. You can easily fill a Bratislava stag weekend with clay pigeon shooting, paintball tournaments, off track karting and 4x4 races.

But you can get a real adrenaline buzz going in Bratislava if your mates are inclined to the more extreme end of the danger scale. Show the soon-to-be wedded man what married life is really like by taking bungee jumping to the next level with bridge swinging - a leap off the end of a bridge in downtown Bratislava. Or leap off into space in a different way with an afternoon at the Astro Trainer, a unique outdoor facility that was originally designed to help astronauts get a feel for floating in 0-G.

And of course, no stag do is complete without the prerequisite night of clubbing till dawn. Every Bratislava stag weekend should include a brewery tour followed up by a night on the town in the company of scantily clad (and bound to get even more scanty) girls. You can dance the night away at any of the dozens of nightclubs and bars in the Old Town, or sit back with a drink and watch the tantalizing dancers put on a show just for you. If you're in a gambling mood, you've even got your choice of five different casinos.

In short, there's a great deal to recommend Bratislava as a venue for a never-to-be-forgotten stag do. Unique activities, low prices and incredible scenery - of both the natural and the human kind - make it a stand-out on the list of places to check out.
