For one of the most vibrant and dizzying bar crawl experiences in Europe, spend a night getting lost in the amazing Jewish district. Home to many of the ‘ruin’ bars that have made the city infamous, it’s the best place in the city to get, well, ruined! With their distinctive shabby-chic vibes and hip clientele, these quirky bars are situated in formerly run-down buildings and are a huge draw for those seeking something a bit unusual.  If you want to bring a bit of traditional class to your stag, head to the historic old town. It boasts stunning views of the River Danube and plenty of classy bars that mean you’re never far from a sophisticated spot to quench your thirst. For pre-drinking activities, be sure to try some of the city’s themed ‘escape room’ puzzles, which are always good for a laugh. When it comes to the morning after, you’ll be thanking your lucky stars that Budapest is known for its medicinal hot baths and spas to take the edge off those inevitable hangovers.  ### Prague Though Budapest has begun to give Prague a run for its money in recent years, you still can’t beat the classics, and Prague remains a firm favourite for the European stag getaway. Boasting the biggest club in central Europe, incredible architecture and a huge range of delicious beers, Prague’s bound to be a sure winner in the groom-to-be’s eyes. With its stag-culture well established, Prague is best for guided pub crawls, booze cruises down the Vltava River and its infamous nightclubs such as the Karlovy Lazne and Roxy. There’s also tons to keep you and the boys entertained on a budget, from go-karting to bubble football. With scores of pubs and breweries offering tasting sessions that draw beer-lovers to the city in their millions, one could even say that this city is defined by beer.  With that said, where else could be better to host your perfect stag do abroad? ### ### Barcelona If it’s a warmer seaside affair that you’re after, then Barcelona might just be the ideal stag location for you. It's also the perfect choice if you enjoy football / soccer and F1 racing! This city’s full of character, with heaps of street entertainers and Spanish glamour to ensure a priceless moment on every corner. From trendy cocktail bars to mouth-watering tapas restaurants with traditional Flamenco performances, there’s never a dull moment.
