Here at Ace Weekends we like to think that we know a good party when we see one, and with flights to Eastern Europe at an all-time low, we reckon we’ve got an absolute belter of a city to recommend to you good people planning stag weekends away. Riga stag weekends are the some of the most popular on the market at present, with many companies offering budget activity-laden packages to send that groom off in style, amidst rivers of booze and more than a couple of scantily clad ladies.

Riga is such a brilliant city for stag dos because of its incredibly low alcohol prices and beautiful, history-steeped architecture that marks it out as ideal. The Stag Company, the UK’s leading provider of stag weekends has an enormous variety of these packages, to really maximise your time in this Latvian jewel.

Paintballing, go-karting and even bob-sledding form the main events of some of these packages, which also offer VIP entry to nightclubs and bars, specially chosen for their busy-ness and sheer quantities of beautiful women. Indeed, this is the city that hosts the “parade of blonde girls” every year, showcasing some of the talents this city holds in no short supply.

One of the best activities in this city for perfect stag weekends Riga style is fire-arms practice, which allows stags to receive training from a specialist in the finer arts of shooting real-life pistols and AK-47s at targets – if that doesn’t put the hairs on your chest, goodness knows what else will.

The main event, of course, for any successful stag weekend is the nights out and fortunately this is a city where this aspect is not ignored with an enormous amount of bars and clubs catered for every taste and whim – most importantly the drinks are awfully cheap, with pints coming in at little over a £1 at most places.
