LONDON, Feb 28, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) –
Spring is in the air and the anniversary of the royal wedding is
just six weeks away, so wedding fever and celebratory planning is
very much upon us. Cheapflights.co.uk, the online leader in travel
deals publishing, is welcoming in the season with its top destination
recommendations for hen and stag dos based on budget and creative
activity.
“Given that hen and stag dos normally take shape as a weekend getaway
nowadays, we’d thought we’d highlight the destinations that are most
fit for an unforgettable experience while also offering great value
for money,” says Nadine Hallak, Travel Expert for Cheapflights.co.uk.
Cheapflights’ in-house experts put their travel know how to work
recommending destinations fit for the boys, separate ones for the
girls and one all-rounder fit anyone and everyone.
FOR THE BOYS
Belgrade, Serbia: Party it up on the cheap. The fact that this city
is still one of Eastern Europe’s up and comers means that it’s still
one of region’s cheapest destinations. Nonetheless, it’s packed with
things to do. For those in search of a typical stag do complete with
clubs and good alcohol, this is the place to be. Belgrade is hailed
for its nightlife and is incredibly low cost. A beer here costs
around GBP 1 and hostel prices start from about GBP 12 a night.
Summer is the best season for partying and travellers should head the
barges and three story boats that serve as open air clubbing venues
on the Danube River. Flights to Belgrade start from GBP 167 return.
Valencia, Spain: While it’s partly known for its nightlife and
beaches, Valencia has a lot more to offer. This is a great all-round
destination for the intrepid Brit who wants a Spanish destination
that’s different but also wants an adventure. There’s a world of zany
activities to choose from including attending a football match to see
some of Europe’s finest players in the flesh, having a game of tank
wars in a real tank with laser guns, shooting it out with a day of
paintballing, and topping it all off with some pub crawling and
typical Spanish tapas. Travellers can either combine different ideas
independently or look for packages with specialist organiser
companies. The average cost runs around GBP 200 or slightly more for
an unforgettable experience. Flights to Valencia start from GBP 242.
FOR THE GIRLS
Prague, Czech Republic: While it’s no longer much of an up and comer,
Prague is still one of the best and prettiest destinations for a hen
weekend. Pub crawls here are epic and incredibly cheap. There are
even tour groups that specialise in pub crawl tours and those who
sign up get to meet other crawlers from all walks of life. Ladies
looking for a fun weekend should check out tours starting in the
stunning Old Town, which go from bar to bar and start with a free
shot, usually of Absinthe, as a welcome within each bar. There are
also open bar offers that serve up a hangover inducing mixture of
wine, some form of hard alcohol and a limitless supply of some of the
world’s best beers, which cost as little as GBP 1, but normally come
for free on these tours. Some other of the city’s favourite beverages
that are sold dirt cheap include Unicm and Jager. Pub crawls here
normally culminate in hitting a club or two. One of the most famous
and Europe’s biggest club is the Karlovy Lazne next to the Charles
Bridge. Flights to Prague start from GBP 150 return.
Paris, France: Some might consider it cliche, but, let’s face it,
there’s no more glamorous or girlie way to send off a bride to be
with a bang than a trip to Paris. It’s so close that travellers can
make their trip as long or as short as they choose. If heading there
with a specialist hen celebration organiser such as GoHen, it doesn’t
have to be expensive. Bachelorettes can take their pick of already
prepared packages or custom make their own starting from GBP 195 per
person, inclusive of food, drink, activity and accommodation.
Activity ideas include wining, dining, VIP club entry, shopping ’til
you drop, sightseeing, a typically Parisian show that is both saucy
and sassy and a relaxing spa day. Alternatively, go all out and
combine all of the above! The hen world is your oyster when it comes
to the sparkling City of Lights. Flights to Paris start from GBP 108
return.
FOR EVERYONE
Las Vegas, Nevada: As the movie states, “what happens in Vegas stays
in Vegas!” So whether you’re a hen or a stag, this is the place that
suits all for letting your hair down and having a great time. Whether
you’re after pampering, sitting by the pool, a taste of culture, some
gambling, great food served up in huge buffets from various
countries, world class shopping, luxurious hotel suites at budget
prices, some of the world’s most famous shows and a whole lot more,
Vegas has absolutely all of it. This is decadence at its best and a
truly unforgettable experience. Just don’t get too drunk and end up
in a chapel with Elvis asking you to say “I do.” Flights to Las Vegas
start from GBP 418 return.
