Stag Weekends in Riga

The Dog’s Baltics

This is The Dog's Baltics - an authentic eastern European beauty with a deeply-engrained penchant for partying and the perfect location for stag weekends. When we went to Riga for our MD’s own stag weekend, most of us expected a few drinks, an activity or two and a photo with a pretty girl if we were lucky. What we got was much, much more. Latvian people are vibrant, proud and passionate, their nightlife exceptional and varied, their women outrageously attractive and their city a perfect blend of Old Town history and modern independence.

How you spend your Riga stag weekend is entirely your decision. What we will say is that it pays to do more than boozing here, especially if you want the full experience of visiting somewhere as original and fun-packed as this fantastic city unquestionably is. Whether you're ambling around the shops and museums, hurtling down the bobsleigh run, or sat getting juiced in one of its cool bars, it isn't hard to see why stag weekends in Riga have such a uniquely special reputation. When the MD and founder of a stag & hen company chooses it for his own stag do – what better endorsement can we give?

Riga Information

The architecture and local women are exquisite, whilst the cuisine is cheap, filling and delicious. We enjoyed checking out all of these things on Matts stag weekend in Riga and are highly confident that you'll feel the same. The choices of organised events and activities through the day and early evening – be it a stripper-lead banquet, a 70 km per hour bobsleigh run or a spot of Kalashnikov weaponry – are outstanding, which allows for you to strike just the right balance of boozing and bonding in a city that, though bigger than its Baltic counterparts, still retains a very personal and compact feel.

Accommodation, cuisine and shopping options tick all the right boxes, whilst the character that seeps out of every inn, tavern, bar and club gives you the full Riga flavour - as is the case with national drinks like the black Balsam. Whatever you do though, don't underestimate how much the locals can quaff their spirits (without it seeming to affect them one iota). You have been warned – now, with our heartfelt recommendation on this sumptuous Baltic belter, we need only ask: what are you waiting for?!?
