5 Things to Do on a Bratislava Stag Do

• Bratislava Castle - This colossal castle is a great place to head to see a bit of the culture, plus you can snap that squad selfie to prove to your other halves that you didn't spend the entire weekend in the boozer.
• Pints in the Sun - Bratislava gets pretty damn hot in the summer months, so be sure to enjoy a few ice-cold pints in the sun as you catch up with mates and watch the world go by.
• Man at Work - A cool little statue of a man peering out of a manhole cover - this iconic sculpture is a must-see, but easy to miss. Don't go tripping over him after a few beers, gents!
• Machine Gun Shooting - Get your hands on some seriously powerful weaponry as you and the boys put your sharpshooting skills to the test. This is something you absolutely could not do back in the UK, so don't miss your chance.
• UFO Bridge - The UFO Bridge is out of this world and an awesome sight to check out. You can even head to the top of the tower at the far end for stunning views out across the city.

Cheap Beer!

Bratislava pint prices are phenomenal. Forget expensive UK cities, in the Slovakian capital you'll be able to grab a pint for around €1.50!!

Great Weather

Sizzling hot summers give way to ice-cool winters, so whether you're heading there for a suntan or for some snowboarding, you'll be well-catered for.

Is Bratislava Good for Stag Dos

Getting from Bratislava Airport to the City Centre

The centre of the city is just a speedy twenty-minute drive from the airport (traffic dependent), so getting there is a doddle.

Bratislava airport transports are the go-to option if you're looking to avoid any hassle as they'll be ready and waiting when your flight gets in (speak to our team for more details). However, there are direct buses and taxis outside if you'd prefer.

Local Customs and Tipping Culture

It seems a universal trait, but in Bratislava, as with most places, adding between 5 and 10 per cent onto your bill in a restaurant is the general rule of thumb. For drinks, you could just round up to the nearest euro or give a little extra if you'd like.
