Bratislava City Guide for Stag Weekends

Located in the South West of Slovakia, Bratislava is the only national capital that borders two independent countries, Austria and Hungary. Don’t be fooled by the small geographical size of Bratislava, for what it lacks in that department it certainly makes up for in its choice of stag do activities.

The skyline of Bratislava is characterised by medieval towers and flamboyant 20th-century buildings and possess several interesting sites from which you can view these grandiose landmarks. The UFO situated on the city’s newest bridge is a must visit. It houses a stylish restaurant and bar situated 90m above the Danube and offers great panoramic views of the city. Views from the Kamzík TV tower situated in the city’s forest can stretch to Austria, Hungary and the Czech Republic.

How to get to Bratislava

A Bratislava stag do offers great value for money and this is epitomised in the cost of getting there. The 2hr 15 minute flight to the Slovakian capital start from as low as £52 return with Ryanair. Although a great city in its own right, Bratislava is brilliantly positioned to also enjoy some of the continent’s larger capital cities. Only an hour drive to Vienna, an additional hour to Budapest and a further hour to Prague, Bratislava provides the excellent base from which you can enjoy an adventurous weekend away with the boys.

Sometimes it's cheaper to fly into Vienna rather than Bratislava. Austrian Airlines offer some great deals from major cities around Europe at certain times of the year, and the flights are a lot more frequent than to Bratislava.

Some stag parties spend one night in Vienna to see what the capital is all about before heading to wonderful Bratislava. Many bus companies operate routes from Vienna over the Slovakian border, so you won't have any trouble finding your way there. Search major European bus companies such as FlixBus to discover the best fares.

Get totally Slovakered in Partyslava!

Here at Pissup we haven’t nicknamed Bratislava ‘Partyslavia’ for no reason! Whilst us stag lads can appreciate beautiful architecture, what a Bratislava stag do is really about is the partying in the evening. During the Summer months, Bratislava takes the party outdoors to the multiple open air clubs and bars. The banks of the river Danube also provide the venue for some cool artificial beach parties and the talent that lines the river’s banks is said to be some of the most beautiful in the world. Furthermore, if you fancy a break from the more traditional forms of accommodation, the Danube has multiple ‘boatels’ in which you can lay your weary head at the end of a night where you have gotten totally slovakered!

If the sun is not shining then don’t worry, Bratislava Nightlife still has copious amounts of hotspots situated in some seriously cool venues in which you can don your dancing shoes. Iconic Subclub is situated under the city’s castle, whilst Club Loft  is situated in the neighbourhood of the main bus station and has just been refurbished with some chic interior. An additional bonus for the smokers among you, Bratislava allows you to puff in almost every bar, club and pub in the city.

Our Bratislava Activity Recommendations

A Stag Do in Bratislava is far more than just getting pissed with your mates. Obviously beer, beer and more beer is the foundation of most stag dos, but what you really need to do is pack your weekend with as many activities as your budget allows. Our Bratislava stag activities include throwing your stag in the mud (with babes), shooting AK47s and visiting top tottie venues with a tour of the city's strip clubs. The more you add, the more memorable you make it for your Stag!

Crazy fun activities in Bratislava

There's so much crazy fun to be had on your Bratislava stag do. We have all the classic stag do activities from go-karting to AK-47 shooting. UK gun laws being as strict as they are, you'll never get to try shooting the big beast AK at home - that's why booking AK-47 shooting session is a must on your stag weekend. You'll get to find out whether you are a natural shot, and you'll get to experience the full force of AK-47 (trust us, it kicks like hell!). If guns aren't your thing then go go-karting and see if you can gain pole position and show your mates your the best driver in the group.

Bratislava also has a lot of crazy stag activities such as Bridge Swinging. If you like the idea of leaping off a bridge in the middle of the night and swinging under it - i.e. if you're a bit of a nutter, then you'll enjoy this! Likewise if adrenaline is your thing, try our quad bike activity and race around an awesome dirt track, located just outside Bratislava.

Relaxing Activities on your Bratislava Stag Do

There are plenty of cool things to see in the Slovakian capital, including iconic buildings such as the iconic Bratislava Castle that looms over the city. Or if you're more a culture-vulture you can check out the beautiful 18th century music hall and palace, the Primate's Palace, which houses the famous Hall of Mirrors. However if you're on a stag weekend time is short, so we recommend you book a Sightbeering tour: that way you can get taken on a fun, guided tour with a pitstop at a pub in the middle.

If you want to sample a bit of Slovak culture we suggest you try their wines. Slovak wines have recently won some serious wine-tasting awards, so you'd be mad not to go on a Wine Tasting tour. We'll take you to a vineyard, not that far outside Bratislava. There you'll see how the wine is made, and get to sample the stuff at the end...result!
