Stag weekends have been going to some amazing locations in Eastern Europe for years now, and have been having a whale of a time. So what about the rest us, those of us who aren t getting married? Can t we go to Budapest and try the Turkish baths? Or go Riga and experience the amazing nightlife? Can t we go to Krakow and sup vodka in their cellar bars alongside the young bucks and stags? Well good news now you can!

Many of the companies that have been organising stag weekends are now opening their doors (or rather websites) to other parties. This benefits everyone because they have excellent knowledge of the area and have some very competitive deals with local hotels, clubs, activity centres and excursions. They also ensure that your trip is 100% safe and that you re well away from unscrupulous taxi drivers and dodgy bars that charge a month s wages for an orange juice. They can arrange guided tours of all of the historic sites as well, and can offer you and your group a full range of activities, no matter what your tastes.

Now there are more parties travelling to places such as Krakow, Budapest and Riga than ever before. These vibrant cities have become a favourite destination for birthday party weekends because the beer, the food, flights and accommodation are all cheap and good quality. They also cater for retirement parties, who may enjoy the sights and more refined, less strenuous excursions such as wine tasting. Eastern Europe is opening up to the possibility of wine and culinary tourism because not only is the wine great, but so is the food. In fact, no matter what type of party you are organising, it is worth taking a look at one of these exotic destinations and experiencing Baltic hospitality at its finest.

Ok so which places are good for what? Hungary is increasingly becoming known for its wine. Recently they have become popular enough to compete with the heavyweight wine champions of France and Italy, holding their own in both whites and reds. So if it s wine tasting that will broaden your pallet you re looking for, Hungary (and Budapest in particular) should be on your list of must visit destinations.

Krakow in Poland is a picturesque town and is wonderful for sightseeing. It also has some amazing restaurants and, according to legend, the highest density of bars in the world. Riga in Latvia, on the other hand, is smaller and pretty and would perhaps suit someone looking for a quieter holiday. However, if you want action and something more intense than just great scenery, it s easy to find in this lively and diverse city. Riga also has some amazing food, with a vast selection of meat dishes playing a big part in the cuisine of the country.

All of these places offer a wide variety of activities that you can choose from, ranging from adrenaline rushes to the positively sedate. All of these activities can be arranged with the company you are dealing with, and a guide is often provided. All of these destinations offer action packed go-karting experiences, handgun and rifle shooting, bar and pub-crawls and sightseeing tours. Sightseeing opportunities can include a cruise of the river Danube. Boats can be hired exclusively and include wine tasting, dinner and all sorts of entertainment such as, strippers, a band, DJ and poker party.

The specialist tour companies are able to create activity schedules to the individual group s requirements, so you can choose exactly what you want to do and when you want to do it. There are also activities tailored specifically for groups other than stag parties, including culinary schools, grape harvest festivals, trips and market visits. So, if you are arranging a party abroad, check out one of the stag weekend organisers and see what they offer non-stag groups it might just be the ticket to a new experience.
