Krakow Stag Weekends - Tips And Ideas For Organising A Memorable Krakow Stag Night

Krakow - experiences to see by Day

Krakow is one of the oldest and largest cities in Poland and has a variety of culture, history and architecture to reflect its past. Some of the finest sights to head for with the gang are the Old town and Main Market Square, the Wawel Castle and the Zygmunt Bell, one of the largest in the world, at the Wawel Cathedral. A great way to experience the most sights is on a guided bike tour.

How about taking the stag night Polish Vodka tasting? One of the great Polish exports is Vodka and it comes in an astonishing range and choice. It is the #1 Polish brew and they beverage Vodka like others beverage wine. A bottle is never left unfinished in any self-respecting Polish home and it's never diluted in cocktails, but drunk in one gulp or "do dna". Organised Vodka tastings can be booked through Chillisauce.co.uk when an expert will guide you through 4 types of Polish vodka, complete with snacks and a celebratory T-shirt. What better way than this to sample the local culture?

With its relaxed gun laws, it's easy to prepare a stag night in Krakow with some brilliant target practice. You and the guys can go rifle shooting, when you can try out a Glock under expert guidance and shred that target. Bigger and better yet, try out a Kalashnikov, AK-47 or maybe a Glaubert sub machine gun, and relive the movies.

Let's be clear, the above dinners have to be enjoyed in the correct order - guns and bikes before Vodka!

Polish cuisine is tasty and hearty with spare ribs, smoked pork in a immense casserole and tasty smoked sausage (kielbasa) all cooked to perfection. As the polish are recognised for saying, "Eat, beverage and loosen your belt" and they undoubtedly know how to enjoy great food. A Polish dinner is a great way to begin the stag night celebrations.

Under Communism, drinking in more than one bar on any one night was against the law, but fortunately laws are now considerably more civilised and a pub crawl isn't only allowed but compulsory for the groom's last weekend of freedom. Pubs and bars aren't hard to find in this energetic town, so what are you waiting for? Book an organised pub crawl and get taken to some of the finest bars followed by VIP queue jumping into a lap dancing venue.
