Overview:
Sofia calls out from within Europe to all travellers looking for a European adventure and a stag night to remember. Most people don’t automatically think of spending their stag weekends in Sofia but the area is a really up and coming destination for the best stag parties you can imagine and there is something for everyone. In Sofia it’s unlikely you will find much of a family-orientated environment. This is more the place for you and your mates to get out on the town and drink to what’s coming! One of the best things about Sofia is that it is still a stag party gem as most people haven’t caught on to how useful and brilliant a place it can be for your pre-wedding bash so why not make use of your knowledge before others start to catch on?

Facts:
• Most people speak Bulgarian and Russian. There are however a few people who speak English and no matter what language you speak, you will always be able to get a drink at the local bar!
• stag parties in Sofia are great because everything costs less than at home.

Daytime Activities:
Sofia was largely affected during World War II and basically torn down with very little salvaged. This history means that there is a lot to learn on your trip so it doesn’t just have to be about drinking and partying. stag weekends in Sofia can be a holistic experience. You can visit local museums and learn more about the fall of Soviet Russia and how the area was affected. Of course, there are the usual European activities- walk, experience or learn but of course there is something for the adrenaline junkies too. All the usual suspects exist from abseiling to bungee jumping and sky-diving and hunting. Try some outdoor activities like paintball and clay pigeon shooting. These group sports will get you all excited and ready for your big night out. Your stag party in Sofia is going to be the craziest thing you ever do!

Nightlife:
Due to Sofia’s tumultuous history, there is a lot of (what we may consider) seedy clubs and pubs to visit at night. Sofia is still building herself up from a past filled of difficulties, and strippers and prostitution are pretty rife. This is a wonderful thing for your stag party because let’s be honest it wouldn’t quite be the same without one. There is a very young night scene in Sofia where popular club and dance music pumps until the early hours of the morning.

Currency:
The currency in Sofia is the Bulgarian Lev.

Weather:
Like with many of the countries in Europe, it is best to visit in the spring or autumn. These are the times when Sofia can really be seen. The weather is temperate and inviting and everything looks and feels appealing. If you are up to a cold winter stag party or a weekend spent in the sun then it doesn’t really matter but the temperatures can get quite extreme at these times. In fact, Sofia has been known to reach temperatures as high as 35°C in the summertime!

Transport:
Transport in Sofia is somewhat limited but that doesn’t mean you need to stay in one place. There are still buses and trams available and it is extremely cheap to take a taxi throughout the city- even cheaper than in the surrounding countries. You can spot these taxis quite easily as any legal taxi operator has to have a yellow vehicle. All in all, a stag party in Sofia is going to be an amazing, unique and eye-opening experience.
