All central European cities have some things in common - Storming nightlife, beautiful women, cheap drinks, cheap eats and high adrenaline activities. We give you the low-down on each so you can choose which European destination is best for you.

Budapest, Hungary

A top summer party spot because of the high number of outdoor venues open in the summer. From pubs to clubs, Budapest does it outside. The city is bigger than the average in the region and bit spread out. This is good and bad. Good because it offers many areas with many venues and a very low saturation of stag parties. This is bad because if you don't know where to go, you're far less likely to find the good spots.

• Take a riverboat loaded with strippers and eat sushi from a naked body buffet as you float down the beautiful Danube River
• Trabant Trek - drive old soviet-era cars to the countryside for a hearty pub lunch.

• 4play lounge strip club - by far one of the best in the region. It's owned and managed by expats so you know it's got to be good.

Why NOT Budapest - there's no real old town centre. If you want an easy to walk, beautiful old town centre try Krakow.

Krakow, Poland

A beautiful town, lots of students, open-air performances in the many squares, and over four hundred pubs give Krakow a great vibe. The city is small enough that really any hotel, even outside the 'Planty', can be considered central and you can wander around tripping into bars and hot women. It's large enough to offer a wide range of venues.

• Pub crawl - not your same ol'. Krakow has a plethora of cool pubs, but considering all the underground venues, alleys, and back streets you need to know where to find them. Guides are definitely recommended.

• Definitely go for the Brewery Dinner at the best pub in town, with fresh brewed beers and Golonka - beer-marinated hamhock, slow roasted to juicy and delicious perfection.

Why NOT Krakow - Given the city was home to the late Pope JP II, it is rather conservative. Therefore, the strip clubs lag a bit behind the rest of the region. If you like your strippies definitely try Budapest.

Riga, Latvia

Riga's stunning UNESCO-listed old town is not only beautiful in its own right – it also has the highest density of beautiful ladies per square meter anywhere on earth. Riga is also a dream come true for bar crawls and clubbing. Getting lost is practically impossible, it's a small town centre and the sun will come up soon enough. And you will be up until dawn, this former Soviet party town is the best in the Baltic region, offering ample opportunity to admire Latvian and Russian honeys, drink vodka with vodka and eat meat with meat. During the summer months, the nearby beach towns also fill up with excitement

• Sauna Party with booze and lovely naked ladies- can it get any better?
• Riga has an Olympic-sized bobsled track, so for an extreme adrenaline rush try Bobsledding!

• The Skyline bar on the top of the Reval Hotel Latvija (26th floor) - this cosy yet elegant bar with live DJ's on weekends is a must-see and be-seen spot, not only is the view amazing but the food is delicious and there is a great variety of drinks on offer.

Why NOT Riga - Riga is a small town. This means that you will be running into other stag groups more often.

Warsaw, Poland

An up and coming stag destination, which up to now was mostly visited for business purposes, Warsaw features great activities and a very surprisingly beautiful old town. It also has a thriving nightlife with loads of good clubs. This is a cosmopolitan city with diverse cuisine, music and entertainment.

• Rickshaw races through downtown. Fasten your seat belts, this could be a bumpy ride.

• Any after-hours pierogie stand downtown. Beats a kebab anytime.
• Vegas strip club - The only choice downtown and one of the best in the region.

Why NOT Warsaw - This is a big spread out city. For a smaller easier to get around town try Krakow.

Bratislava, Slovakia

With its beautiful compact old town, Bratislava is a dream for a pub crawl. There are bars galore on every corner to meet every taste - from trendy to small and dirty. During the summer any bar worth its salt has a terrace outside.

• Mud wrestling with 4 naked girls. If it gets any better than this, it’s bound to be illegal.

• The UFO restaurant on the tip top of the New Bridge. Serving up good steaks and a good view.

Why NOT Bratislava - Bratislava is a small town. This means it’s very easy to get around. However, sharing a bar with other stag parties is par for the course.

Kiev, Ukraine

Kiev is an exotic city and home to quite possibly the most attractive women in Europe. Come here to see a quickly developing former soviet city before it all changes and the birds get fat.

• Vodka tasting followed by clubbing. Get warmed up for a night of clubbing in the proper Slavic spirit. Wear your nice shirts and try your hand at the exquisite Ukranian ladies.

Why NOT Kiev - It's still a very expensive place to hold a weekend away. If the guys are on different budgets consider a different venue. But then again… The women!!!
