Stag do ideas

Krakow.

While it may sound typical; the city is gorgeous, the weather can be great, the food is amazing, and you can make what you want of the place.

I was on a stag do there in September 2012 and it was a great mix of culture, with plenty of things to do that can make it either as refined or yobbish as you like depending on how you want the do to go.....heck, we even saw an orchestra play a special concert in the main cathedral :/ before a stupid amount of food was consumed for a stupidly small amount of money.

Flights were cheap, and we got a great 6 bed apartment for less than 30 quid each for 3 nights.
 
Any reason you're thinking of Dusseldorf in particular? I lived in Germany (admittedly quite a long time ago now) and we never even considered there when we were looking for a weekend away drinking etc and it was pretty close to where I lived. Actually, it was always over the border to the Netherlands, Belgium or down to Prague that we went.
 
He says £150 excluding spends. That's easily enough to go to some random city on the continent for a couple of nights.

Organised my mates to Munich for 3 nights and that was sub-£150 for flights and accommodation.

The budget could be a bit more, just some of the lads already have a few holidays booked and the like hence the lower end of the scale (that's just for travel and accommodation), even some ideas for places within the UK would be good, something a bit different than the usual stuff? I think the default is going to be London (I know drink wise etc that it's going to be expensive though)

You could do an activity day, I know I'm going to one end of february for a lads stag do.

Clay Pigeon shooting, quad bike racing, offroad buggy racing, crossbow shooting (we did two shooting activities because the grooms dad has a spinal injury and can't do the offroad stuff but you can do loads of driving things), inclusive of a night in a 4 star hotel, entry to various clubs, a casino and a strip club (with free crate of beer), £125 each down in Bristol.

Chilli sauce is the company I think they used.
 
if you go for eastern europe, you need to be very careful!
lots of dodgy folk will pester you to go to see "dancing ladies" etc which is very easy until your mates have had a few lemonades and think it will be fine...
but budget is still fairly tight, might be better to stay in the uk

We did a stag do in Dublin last year, everyone spent a minimum of £300, we didnt do that much either other than drink, including the flights and the hotel it was a £500 weekend.

Ive got a stag do in barcelona booked for may, our flights are £130 with Ryanair from Glasgow, id imagine the drink costs will be similar 300 quid or so. If you want to go away cheap you will have to stay in a hostel, and go eastern europe - mainland europe is so expensive right now - Im just back from Paris it was between 8-9 euros for a pint in 90% of the pubs there.

Dublin is fierce expensive, even post recession. :p

I wouldn't pick Ireland to be honest. :)

If you do London I'd recomend Sloaney Pony in Parsons Green. They have some brilliant ales and one of my favourite drinking establishments in London.

Jewel Bar in Covent Garden is very good as well! Then you've got some quite decent nightclubs up the Kings Road.
 
Are you wanting to fly from Newcastle. if so your option seems to be Ireland (Dublin ~£66 return) and that's it, anything else would be like £130 just for flights, unless anyone can find some offers, but I can't see anything at the moment.
 
I thought £150 was a bit restrictive, we managed to go to Amsterdam (flying) for just under that so it was worth a shot. Saying that, I wasn't a massive fan of the place, beautiful city and all but too many morons about. Plus it was rather busy.

Loads of good ideas though, cheers. I'll see what can be cobbled together. After all, to a large degree it's who you go with really and not where you go.
 
You can usually get cheap flights from Leeds Bradford to europe. Not too far down the road so petrol costs shouldn't eat into your budget that much, especially if a load of you jump into the same car(s)
