Hen & Stag Nights & Stag Weekends in Eastern Europe Cities

In recent years hen and stag nights have tended to become weekend breaks and now there is a trend for them to be mini holidays especially as some of the market leaders in this industry combine the hen or stag night with other activities such as health spas anda range of sport activities. Eastern European hen and in particular stag weekends have for many years been asscociated with Prague which has stolen the crown from Amsterdam. The recent accession of several other eastern european countries to the european union has resulted in hen and stag weekends being hosted in several other cities in eastern europe. It is now possible to organise a hen night & stag night or stag weekend in Tallinn Estonia, Prague Czech Republic, Budapest Hungary, Riga Latvia, Vilnius Lithuania, Krakow Poland, Bratislava Slovakia, Ljubljana Slovenia and other destinations in east europe.

For many people the words weather and Eastern Europe conjure up thoughts of extreme cold, heavy snow and communist military parades passing a windswept Kremlin ordained by old men clad in thick winter coats. We have it on good authority that the the severity of the Russian and Siberian winter which can dominate eastern europe weather goes back long before the cold war as Hitler and Napoelon discovered. Cities like Moscow and St Petersburg in midwinter have an average daily temperature of -13c and at night the temperatures can fall to -33c. The other side of the coin is that both cities have an average dayime temperature in the summer of 21c with highs occasionally of around 32c.

Weather conditions in many Eastern European cities can in winter be nearly as severe ( beware of a still cold harbouring a severe frost on a wind free day ) especially in late December, January and Febuary. However many Eastern Europe cities have summers that people in Western Europe can only envy. Cities like Krakow and Prague have average summer temperatures to those in Russia but cities in Croatia Hungary, Moldova, Macedonia and Romania have average daily temperatures around 26c which can easily reach over 30c. Bucharest and Skopje have both had temperatures as high as 41c.

To simply this very diverse maze each euromost city in addition to a current weather forecast has a table of average daily maximum and minium temperatures. It also details the record high and low temperatures. Each table is colour coded with back ground colours. Temperaratures of -5c and below are shown in deep blue. Temperatures between -4c and 5c are shown in light blue. Temperatures between 6c and 24c are shown in white. Temperatures between 25c and 29c in yellow with temperatures above 30c shown in red. See local city guides. More

There are numerous local city, national and official tourist boards in Central & Eastern Europe & The Baltic States. Some Eastern European Tourist Boards offer exceptional amounts of travel information and general tourist advice. Local tourist boards links in each city guide are a reliable source of information on local bus coach tram train metro and (underground ) services. These links often offer timetables. An increasing number offer tourist city travel cards or period cards many of which also offer discounts to sighteeing attractions exhibhitions and restaurants etc. Some cities may be listed on a national tourist board website and also have their own local tourist office and tourist board website. Where ever possible we have linked to these tourist boards. Other tourist boards in Eastern Europe offer only basic information and advice - with a few places not having a tourist office. Where this happens we have endeavoured to include other well informed sources of useful independent information. More

So the flight is 1€ or £0.00 plus taxes and charges but what to do about the accommodation? Do you use ask a local company that you are familiar with to book it for you or try finding something on the net? This may seem a difficult decision but in the end it will probably come down to price.

There is an abundance of hotel and apartment accommodation in most Eastern European cities especially in traditionally popular tourist destinations such as Berlin Germany, and Prague the Czech Republic. In cities like these a good percentage of the hotels and probably the majority of the apartments are privately owned. In less popular destinations such as Chisnau Moldova and Skopje Macedonia (though the latter is becoming increasingly popular) the majority of hotels are owned by multi-national companies and private apartments are scarce.
