So lets face it, this may be the last time a large group of you will get together for such a crazy weekend – why not have a stag party to remember? My top 5 stag party destinations might help you decide where to go.
Yes, there may be future football and golf trips, but if kids are on the horizon, believe me they won’t be the same. There is a likely chance that you will ‘crash and burn’ in the early stages of the lads weekend – or so I’m told! There are so many stag party destinations to choose from. I’ve listed my top five below – hopefully they will help you plan a stag party to remember.
So where to go? Well that depends on what exactly you are looking for and what budget you have. If you want sun – why not try Benidorm? If you want to see some sights, a city break is a good idea – Berlin perhaps? If you are football mad then you could go to Liverpool or Barcelona, and if money is no object then it has to be the party place to end all party places, Vegas Baby! Here are my top five stag party destinations. There has to to be one here to suit you.
1. Berlin
Berlin is so on trend at the moment and it is perfect for a lads trip away. Not only has it one of the best clubbing scenes in Europe, and the best beer, but you also have a bit of culture thrown in. From what I hear, lads like the ‘war’ stuff, and seeing the highlights like Checkpoint Charlie and the Berlin Wall will keep you sober for a while – well hopefully!

2. Barcelona
Barcelona is another great option for a city break, and if you like football, a trip to the Nou Camp is a must. Take in a game or just do the tour – either way, it’s worth it. Barcelona has so much more to offer though, great nightlife, great tapas and of course it’s on the beach…
3. Amsterdam
Ok, so I know what you are thinking, sex, drugs and rock n roll! Well you will find some, or all of that, but Amsterdam has much more to offer. The likelihood is you are not going to visit Anne Franc’s house or the Van Gogh museum, but a cruise along the canal might be in order? However, if Amsterdam is on the radar for a stag do, it’s probably for the “nice cakes” and “red lights”…
4. Benidorm
Ok, so this might sound cheesy, but believe me Benidorm is great craic. It’s a holiday resort like no other – you will be rocking to the U2 tribute bands and enjoying 5 beers for €5! For a crazy scene on the beach, you can’t beat it.

5. Las Vegas
Vegas Baby – the city that never sleeps! If you want to smash the budget, then Vegas it has to be. This is one of the top stag party destinations in the world. Enjoy the pool parties, try your luck in the casinos and enjoy the free drink all night long. You might opt to catch a boxing match or even a show, before flashing the cash at the MGM Grand.
Anything goes in Vegas, you can get what you want, 24/7 – just make sure you don’t get married while you are there! Go see the Grand Canyon by helicopter, cruise along the strip in a Ferrari. At least it will look like you did something worthwhile…
