Krakow is one of the oldest cities in Poland, dating back to the 7th century and it was capital for over 500 years before Warsaw took the title. There is no shortage of architecture, artwork, history or monuments to during the Stag Do.

Market Square: In and around the square you'll find some of the most well-known sights in Krakow, like the Cloth Hall, the Old Town Hall Tower, St. Adalbert's Church and St. Mary's Church.

Auschwitz-Birkenau: About 30 miles west of Krakow, you'll find the infamous Auschwitz concentration camp. Not your typical stag do activity, but if the history of WWII fascinates you then there's no better place to go and learn about the Holocaust.

Smok's bones: If you're a fan of the mythical or fantasy (or Game of Thrones), go see dragon bones on your stag do. Polish legend has it that Smok, the legendary dragon who lived in a cave underneath Krakow, can be found outside Wawel Cathedral. He used to terrorise the locals and gobble maidens from the sky before a brave knight fed him a sheep-filled with sulphur.

The old town is very compact so it's easy to navigate on foot. Most of the tourist attractions are in or nearby Market Square so if you fancy seeing the sights, or more likely doing a stag do pub crawl, then your feet will do the trick.

Hiring a car in Krakow is ideal if you want to get out of the city on your stag party and explore, but it's unnecessary if you're staying in the centre on your stag weekend. Krakow has a public transport network that would leave London green with envy and won't rip you off while doing it.

Buses and trams run from 5am to 11pm and make getting from A to B simple, day or night. Taxis are the best choice for getting back to your accommodation after a few too many Polish vodkas, but always make sure you hail a registered taxi to avoid dodgy drivers. If you're ever unsure, most pubs and bars will be happy to recommend or call a cab for you or just ask your lovely stag do guide to call you one!
