Overview:
It was not until 1788 that Cheltenham was really put on the map. Good old King George landed here and made the city what it is today. It was well know as a spa and health resort for the rich and famous, which has led to it becoming a top tourist destination.

Of course, wherever the rich and famous go; so do great buildings. That means that people coming here for their Cheltenham stag do will be amazed by the amount and quality of the architecture that still stands today. One of the popular attractions in Cheltenham is the race course. This course is particularly popular thanks to the fact that it hosts the Gold Cup; a prestigious event in the UK.

Getting Around:

The transports services throughout Cheltenham are extremely good; which is only to be expected when it comes to a city of this calibre. People on a stag weekend will be glad to know that they can leave their cars alongside their accommodation and hit the town as soon as they arrive.

The likes of buses and trains are great to use in and around the city. For longer distance journeys of a night time, a taxi service is probably going to be much more appropriate. Driving is certainly not advisable, as the roads are both confusing and fairly congested; which is likely to ruin a stag weekend in Cheltenham.

Must See / Do:
• Check out the Pump Room, which is still producing spa waters today. This is a popular place to hold the likes of funerals and weddings.
• Check out the Gold Cup at the local race course.
• Go to the Rising Sun Hotel and have a few beers

Nightlife:
When it comes to a Cheltenham stag weekend, then the nightlife is likely to be what tops everything off. The reality is though; this is nothing special in comparison to many of the other cities in the UK. What this city allows though; is people the chance to experience a fun, vibrant, yet traditional night out on the time. There are plenty of pubs and bars to choose from; so take your pick!

Sport:
