PRAGUE: FOR BEER-LOVERS
The Czech Republic is a cheap and cheerful city with bundles to see and do, making it an ideal destination for stag do’s - and with Prague’s party scene pulling out all the stops, it’s no surprise the city's popularity surpasses others.

REYKJAVIK: FOR THE ADVENTUROUS
If you’re looking for an action-packed weekend with awe-inspiring backdrops, buzzing nightlife and enough adrenaline-pumping excursions to keep the boys busy until beer o’clock, then Iceland’s cool capital Reykjavik is an all-rounder. If you’re feeling brave (and you’re not suffering from a night on the booze) pull on your hiking boots and climb up one of the region's volcanoes or delve a little deeper and explore glittering glaciers, lava tubes and craters in a labyrinth of underground caves. Go snowmobiling, sink into the steaming Blue Lagoon or send the stag on a Sea kayaking excursion before sampling Reykjavik’s eclectic night scene – grab a great slice of pizza at Hverfisgata 12 and wash it down in the the buzzing Mikkeler & Friends micro-brewery upstairs. The nightlife hub is located in the main shopping street, Laugavegur, and most bars offer free entry unless a band is playing.
