I'm partially organising a stag do - shortlisted to Riga and Brno (Czech Rep's 2nd largest city), Tallinn and Sofia ruled out due to inconvenient flight timings.

Open to other suggestions but wondered if other people had been to these?

Giving Prague a miss as its a path a bit too well trodden, did a mates last year in Amsterdam which was fun but fancy something different.

The usual cheap flights / booze / hotels / etc apply.

Minsk is where it's really at.

Hey I'm not ruling anywhere out as long as it meets the criteria of cheapish (sub £100 ideally) flights that are at the right time of day and ideally nearish airports. Plus the usual cheap beer / hotels and a range of activities to get up to.

Have you been to one in Minsk yourself?

If so give me some info (via U2U if you prefer! )

Sorry, I was just playing with you, I've never been to Minsk and it would probably be fairly expensive to get to. It does have a building that looks like a giant filing cabinet. I spent all weekend trying to convince someone else that they should go there and that I'd get money if they did so when I saw your post I really could help myself.

A German Friend tells me nowhere beats Berlin for a night out and booze is relatively cheap.

It's ok - I actually looked into the logistics of it after your post and then started to realise I'd most probably been had

Although I have met some girls from Belarus and they were very nice

I've had someone else recommend Berlin as well so will consider that.

Berlin is very cheap and easy to get to. You can fly there from so many airports and on so many plane networks which all keeps costs down. Berlin also has some amazing things to see before the drinking starts and I'm told some great cafes to recover afterwards.

brno is a poo hole spent 2 weeks there for work it feels like your in communist Russia, its got a couple of good titty bars if you like that sort of thing but there are lots of nasty Jamaican origin drug lord mafia types managing it all. also stay away from Olomouc worked there for a week its pretty grim and nearly got stabbed for my credit cards one evening. having visited several places in cheko i would say central Prague is the best set-up for stag nights unless you know the lay of the land.

Berlin is pretty good, im doing my mates stag doo mid year, think it may be out of your £100 budget but there is only one place to really do it properly. VEGAS. have been there a few times and there is nothing like it. another couple of good spots is pata in thailand, Atlanta Georgia US, again i think over budget. Asturias, Spain was pretty good but i have friends that live there so don't know what it is like as an outsider.

Ash,

I hear what you're saying and I would be keen on Vegas myself but I've got to think of the majority and I doubt they could justify the expense.

Any other European suggestions?

Did Prague some years ago, went back a couple of months later to Pilsen - not far from Prague - cracking weekend, much cheaper (then) than Prague....home of Pilsener lager!!
