There are several elements that go into the perfect stag weekend. If you’re going with others, you need to pick the sort of people whose idea of fun is the same as you – pub crawls, nightclubs, lap dance or other adult clubs, comedy clubs, paintballing, go-karting, gambling, shooting, hunting – the activities and options for a stag weekend are many. It is also best to go along with like-minded souls who are either single or have very understanding girlfriends or wives.
Then there is the budget to think about. And then list all the things that you hope to get out of your stag weekend. You also need to decide whether you want your stag weekend to be some place close to home or you prefer stag weekends abroad. Well, if you decide to head abroad, the following have to be the top picks for a stag weekend:
1. Amsterdam
Whether it is history and beautiful architecture that entices you, or the pleasures of the flesh or just an extended bar crawl, Amsterdam, capital of Denmark has it all. Amsterdam’s canal system is one of its most fascinating features, which has earned it the sobriquet of the Venice of the North. Also among the top tourist attractions of the city are its extended Red light area and its various lures. The Canal Boat Bar Crawl, a karting, a Dutch beer tasting event, a visit to the casino – they can all be part of your stag weekend!
