The best hen and stag cities

It's your last night of freedom; you want something a little out of the ordinary, right? Here are a few ideas and destinations that, with the help of easyJet 2012, will ensure your final night of singledom is a memorable one.

Amsterdam

An unoriginal choice maybe, but breaks to Amsterdam are popular to the extent of becoming clichéd for a reason. Let off steam with some intense paintball battles, get in among it with a quad bike challenge, even try your hand at some indoor surfing; it’s all here. Other not-to-be-missed experiences include the canal boat tour, Dam Square, the Vodka Museum and the Heineken Experience; possibly not one to share all the gory details with the other half from, though.

Budapest

The stunning Hungarian capital is the perfect choice for a hen party that's slightly outside the box. The rather unusual destination is part of the adventure and excitement in itself and, once you arrive, it only gets better. A dazzling host of natural thermal spas are on offer, while a vibrant and buzzing nightlife is on hand for an alternative form of relaxation. For a slice of adventure, try some pulse-racing bobsledding or simply get out and about on a quad bike.

Krakow

Staying in Eastern Europe, this Polish city is emerging as one of the leading lights in the new wave of alternative stag do destinations. Combining a fascinating history with some genuinely surprising party hotspots, Krakow has stolen a march on many of its regional cousins as an increasing number of revellers head there to let off steam before the big day. Fuel that adrenalin with some white water rafting adventures and blasting around on a snowmobile. The underground provides a different atmosphere, while Sliwowica - a Polish plum brandy - will certainly get the party started.

Benidorm

For pure fun and frolics alongside copious amounts of sun, sea and sangria, this seaside Spanish resort simply cannot be beaten. Get wet and wild as you enjoy the thrills and spills at a water park or out and about on a jeep safari before hitting the town. The night offers the raucous cabaret and a whole host of other party destinations.

Barcelona

A city popular with both sides of the upcoming marriage; for the hens, a myriad of tapas restaurants, seaside cocktail bars and nightclubs await alongside shopping in the waterfront Maremagnum. On the other hand, the stags have the opportunity to examine and tour the home of arguably the best football team in the world, and possibly the greatest of all time, by catching the mighty Barcelona in action. For both, there is the magnificent Gaudi architecture and iconic sites such as Las Ramblas to enjoy. With the beach mere minutes from the city, city breaks to Barcelona can be whatever you want them to be.

All being well, you only get one stag or hen do. So, ensure you bid the single life farewell in style.
