Demitri_C Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 My best man has told me he is considering doing my stag in one of these cities and asked my opinion on it? Anyone been? I have been told Sweden is very expensive but other than that don't knowing about either one. Any advice on any of these two cities would be great ;-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I went to Stockholm last week for 3 nights, it was great but alcohol is very expensive. It was roughly 5 or 6 quid for a smallish beer (less than a pint), if you intend on getting absolutely hammered there are probably better places to go. That said 3 nights at the Hilton in the city centre plus flights was about £270 which I thought was pretty good value. I loved the city itself though and the women are absolute top notch. You will burn through spending money but if you get a good deal on accommodation and flights then it would be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Yeah take out a mortgage before you go I found Stockholm a bit meh if I'm honest but my next port of call after it was St Petersburg and let's face it 99% of the world is a bit meh after going there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Gothenburg is a lot more friendlier to go out in while stockholm be a bit more upmarket and expensive if your going drinking. obviously is cheap enough bars in some spots but if going out for a night its quite pricey and security are quite strict especially regarding ID. if was a stag id recommend neither if im honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 Thanks guys think we look at alternative places now. bratislava, malta and talinn are being mooted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Bratislava is hell on earth and one to avoid Malta .. st Julian had lots of clubs and gentlemen bars ... Was also full of very pretty girls in revealing outfits .. Alas they were all about 20 and I'm 43 , but hey a man can still perv Tallinn ... Beautiful place , top Totty and lots of bars ( head to the old town )not really done any night clubs there so can't comment on that ... Other advantage is you can take a hydro to Helsinki and do a pub crawl with a difference .. Crossing is about 90 mins Also consider Krakow if you've not been , but the airport is a way out of town if you fly budget airlines 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I'd suggest Budapest personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David-Copenhagen Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Take the boat from Stockholm to Talinn, really cheap and good fun + you get to see both cities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 That is an interesting idea how cheap we talking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Take the boat from Stockholm to Talinn, really cheap and good fun + you get to see both cities Isn't that a 6 hr crossing ? Still think the Helsinki option is better ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Im surprised David didn't recommend Copenhagen. That where I would go if I was Demitri and friends and wanted to go to Scandinavia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) I really enjoyed Stockholm, you can drink affordably in Sodermalm. If you drink in Gamla Stan (old town) it's going to cost you a fair whack although it is worth it to go to the Viking pub and drink mead.

tonyh29 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 It was 14 years ago when I went but just about every person we met in Bratislava either wanted to steal money from us or fight us just because we were English.. Even going into McDonald's got me called an English rocket polisher by the Neanderthal in the queue behind me as I minded my own business As I say maybe its changed in that time but I'm not in any hurry to find out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stureplan is even worse than Gamla Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boat trip is great since it is 11 hours each way but you all get a cabin for under 60 pounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 more expensive than stockholm and oslo david? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David-Copenhagen Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 more expensive than stockholm and oslo david? Oslo, Cph, Stock in that order. That is why is suggested the trip to Talinn, you get the trip, a cabin, and a meal for around 60 - real good value. You get 6 hours in Talinn and can party on the boat :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
