Over the past 3-4 years, as the Baltics have become increasingly fashionable, Riga has been seen as one of the must see stag weekend destinations, often rivaling Prague in its popularity. This central European capital possibly has it all - extreme activities, high quality adventure, superb nightlife and decent hospitality. On some summer nights it's like the city has been invaded by supermodels, you'll have to see it to believe it! But with popularity comes reduced availability so if you're eager for Riga - book your stag weekend early!
