Organising the brothers stag for next April. I am sure there was a something up before about it but looking for suggestions. Wanting to go to Europe but staying away from Amsterdam, Prague, Berlin and those kinda main places. Was thinking Hamburg, Krakow or somewhere else in Poland. Was in Torun for the Euros and loved it but maybe a bit small for a stag. What did people make of Gdansk and Poznan (if you can remember) or is there somewhere else like Lodz or Gydina? Any other suggestions welcome. ------------- Read it 3 times before posting |

Krakow is an amazing city. And at that time of year the weather will be good. Im convinced they send the ugly birds to Ireland and keep all the crackers at home. And that's saying something  ------------- YBIG Table Quiz winner 2016 & 2017 AS YOU WERE McGx |

Krakow will be full of English stags. Hamburg is a filthy place full of whore houses etc...and is a lot worse than Amsterdam. My recommendation is Budapest. It's cheap, it's cheap to get there, the women are unreal, and there is great night-life in the clubs along the Danube. ------------- It was far across the sea, When the devil got a hold of me, He wouldn't set me free, So he kept me soul for ransom. na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na.

Check where the cheap flights go. Dusseldorf a great spot too and easy with Ryanair, same as Antwerp if you fly into Brussel South or Eindhoven with Ryanair. Both only an hour away. Great beer and food, and cheap enough. Plus not savaged yet by the large crowds of stags/hens like in Prague etc. ------------- Molly Malone's pub- The home of YBIG in Amsterdam! |

Tallinn is a great shout. I know I was on a stag a few years ago that rented three boats on the shannon for four days and it was great craic. The nightlife wasn't the best but we did end up gatecrashing a thirtieth birthday party in a pub which was quite random. -------------

Cheers lads, been to Krakow 4 times myself including my own stag and love the place but would rather do something different for him. Was in Budapest years ago and liked it. Silly question but is ther estrip clubs etc. Hamburg maybe out as the flight home is 10.30 am  I enjoyed Talinn but not so sure for a stag. No offence but wanted to go further afield than england.

Munich is quality. Has everything you need for a stag, deadly pubs, clubs, strip clubs etc open 24 hours pretty much and you could even try get a match in if yis wanted to do that. And the women as with most places in Europe are amazing.

It's true that I've only heard good things about Budapest. I was in Krakow last year for a few days and it is a great spot but it can be a little seedy - we heard the words "strip club" from randomers every fifteen seconds walking through the main part of town at night. -------------

Right 3 choices seem to be Munich, Budapest and Dusseldorf. Think Budapest looks class. Lots of cool activities and the aul turkish baths. I think he has been to Dusseldork once or twice as we had relations there for a while so Munich will be the second choice.

I've been to Hamburg 3 times - twice for a stag and once for a wedding. It's the biggest sh*t hole I was ever in - I had a good time but some of things I saw were bizzarre. Some skin head oul one boobs hanging out having a piss on the footpath at 2 in the day. Went into one of those peep shows at 1 in the day where you paid 50 cent in and some tramp standing on a wooden box dancing looking for here hole for about 20 euro. Absolute cretin of yolk.

Budapest is a great town but you do need to do your research before you go. As people have mentioned there's no obvious central point. Along the river is good fun but from memory the bars and boat clubs were not stag friendly. I guess it depends on the group.
The student district is in my opinion the best area to head to if you want good underground bars (or "ruin" bars) and sound locals. These were ex-communist drinking holes back in the day and it's when the younger student type will be found. You'll get no hassle here.
If you want to spend a weekend in an irish pub (as some will sadly do) then you wont have to look far!

If you do get to Budapest make sure to check out the Borozo's, they are cellar bars that sell wine by the half litre for buttons and your sure to meet some of the local "characters". Usually found on a street corner and easy spotted by a lantern with a picture of a bunch of grapes on it. Oh and dont mind the purple bearded old lads knocking about outside.
The Gellart has excellent sauna/baths........and if your interested in history you should check out the museum of terror located in the former HQ of the communist secret police, quiet an eerie place.... ------------- " BFC always gives me a laugh........ " |

Well lads, doing a bit of research into this myself. Munich was the 1 that has jumped to the top of the queue in my mind for no particular reason other than I love Germany, brilliant place IMO. Did kev report back on Budapest? The advatage of Munich for me is it's easier to get to from shannon for us. Wed be going in the summertime so weather would be good aswell. Anybody with stories to tell good or bad? Or other suggestions? It's early days in the planning. Is it seedy like hamburg and Frankfurt are? I'd prefer if they weren't if I'm honest! The drink will be the attraction. ------------- Oh Poland we loved you..... |

Munich is a very good city and is fairy good value for food and drink.Accommodation will be very reasonable and flights are usually around €150.Nice beer halls to head to and a few breweries close by.Its not as seedy as Hamburg.If you want to kill a bit of time head to the BMW museum. Heading over again for the Oktoberfest this year,its class. EDIT: Is there direct flights from Shannon to Munich?Make sure its Munich Airport and not the Ryabair version. Train direct from the airport to HBF and get group tickets(6 passengers) they work out much cheaper. |

Couldnt recommend Budapest enough, wasnt there on a stag but was there last summer and it was unreal. The baths are some spot for throwing the sunglasses on and having a creep. They throw parties in some of the baths on Saturday nights so I'd say they are mental, we left midweek so never got to go. It's a lovely city as well.

Ya lahinch is good in good weather, gets the crowds. Ya there will def be music if you look around which would take 10 minutes as it's quite small! Ye could stop in ennistymon on ye're way (2km away and on ye're way I'd imagine) and stop at Eugene's, quality bar and worth the stop. Small, cosy, often a dog panned out inside there. Was there a few weeks ago, as I said worth the stop. As for other lads feedback, cheers. I was looking at ryanair and ya that airport is a joke like Hahn for Frankfurt. I'd say we'l end up doing shannon - stansted and into the proper airport instead. Starting and ending in shannon is crucial, 15 minutes from home and we'l be f**ked on the way home. I was in Munich on a school tour years ago, liked it and we've the seedy sh*t done before so doesn't appeal to me, that's why I thought munich.

Hey, we actually went Dusseldorf instead of Budapest Vin. A great city I have to say, the main area with all the bars was great craic. Lots of dirfferent beers to try and all brewed locally. Decent prices for the local stuff. Nightlife is good as well. Few bits to do during the day as well, few of the lads went to a Fortuna game. Rest did a boat trip, €12 all you can eat and drink on a 2 hour trip down the Rhine. Defo recommend for a stag of 20 or so.

Ice pack and plenty of vitamin c in your diet. There is no fast way other than disguising it with makeup. Arnica is good for getting the swelling down. You get yourself in a rumble at the weekend? Did ye win? ------------- Chips don't bounce |

Cheers. Yeah "joking" slap from one of the lads! No swelling but nice little black and blue line under the eye. Been told to try everything from Potato to teabags to Cucumber on it!

Suppose you could also try wearing a balaclava if this fails. Or a pair of sunglasses, or both. |

Or put a patch over it and buy a parrot ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won. Whatever small role elite clubs still play in the local communities from which they grew is dwarfed now by their position as global brands. |

Honestly, if you are on the case early you can get a cheap hotel at a decent price. We paid about £50 each for 2 nights in an Ibis styles close to the city centre.
