And yet, there is almost always still a calm place, when you compare it to the center. There is also a certain magic to the sunsets around, with lose sun beams finding their way inside and refracting infinitely.

So, you have made it to the one of most interesting and party oriented cities in not only Poland but middle-eastern Europe. Now you are on the verge of decision of what to do for your or your friend’s stag night? Well, we are here to help.

The great news is – you are definitely in good hands. Kraków has a reason to be considered city for young people and student life. The line between the last party in the city center and first early birds, to show up on the streets of Old Town is very thin. There is always something or someone, as long as you are willing to join.

Of course in case of a stag night you need a good plan for your company, that’s clear. Where to party in Kraków then? Where to stay for the night? There are a lot of possibilities, impossible to cover in a single write-up, but there ways to give a general idea and we also have a proposition of our own. In general, stag nights are about drinking and having crazy fun. Weird activities are not really fun anymore, except maybe for the small village, where you have to compensate for the lack of possibilities, so let’s cross that out. Cool experiences are however very good for two reasons:

a) There might be harder after marriage to chase them or simply start new passions. That might be the last call. And what a better way, to do it with bunch of closest friends?

b) They can be planned the way, that does not exclude party during the evening. Heck, both activities may be performed in one place. Nowadays companies are really well-rounded for the needs of their customers.

You might have heard by now about the plethora of possibilities when it comes to party in Kraków. Szewska Street alone may keep you entertained for the whole weekend, including eating for the hangover. However, the outskirts of market or Kraków itself, have a lot to offer, as well. You just need to know where to look. For example, you can go as crazy as to spend some time on classic and rare game machines, trying a huge variety of vodka or go crazy in playing Vikings with your friends.

One of such activities is our proposal for today. Cracow Shooting Academy, located in Pasternik has a shooting range, that is being used for stag nights all the time. Why? How? The basic plan is very simple. You start off your event in sportswear, ready for some serious action involving shooting from different weapons, marksman training and firearm course. After trying various guns, ranging from historical to emergent, you are very well prepared for your evening. There is no better conversation booster, than shared, emotional experience. At this point you have a choice to either get back to city center and do some pub crawling on the streets of Old Town (yes, everyone is doing that, that’s basically one big party every night) or stay on the shooting range and party here. It is possible, as Cracow Shooting Academy has an area ready for pub action, barbecue and open sky party. No close neighbors to annoy, no other people to disturb, just you, your friends and the beauty of the wild just under the city. There is no better place to go crazy: sing, talk and whatnot.

All of that is just surface scratching. To conclude – Kraków is one of the best cities for a stag night, so if you are here by accident, the luck is on your side anyway. You will have a great time.

There is plenty of movies, books and even shows about those events. We laugh as we watch the crew of “Hangover”, struggling to find their friend in city of Las Vegas, or we judge the odd choices in the shows regarding someone else’s wedding. And yet, when it comes to our friends we stand completely surprised and clueless about what should we prepare. Worry not! I am here to help you in one of the most interesting cities in Europe when it comes to party in both traditional and extraordinary ways – in Kraków.

Starting with stag nights, we can easily distinct two main ways of boys getting to party, before one of their own ultimately loses his freedom. Ideally, both ways are cultivated and participants get to:

a) Do something interesting, and unusual. Bonus points for the activities that might be later prohibited by the choice of his heart.

b) As famous Alestorm used to sing:

“Drink, drink, drink, drink(…)”

To have a successful stag night in Kraków, you basically need to find a good passionate group, that does something interesting for your friend, that you are organizing stag night for and there is a great chance that they earn money by helping casuals do it. There are associations ranging from crazy and unbelievable to extreme nerdy. As there is no way to put them all into single article let’s name some of the examples, that make top of the Google list:

• Cracow Shooting Academy, let’s you spend your stag night guns blazing, including some action movies inspired activities, following by a barbecue or dinking night later on.
• Badaxe, comes from the group of either crazy or unbelievable. You will tell everyone that you could literally throw axes during your stag night.
• R’lyeh Café, this interesting place, inspired by Call of the Cthulu books, is a place of various meetings from simple Role Playing groups to modern pagans. That covers our nerdy stuff. And they have good beer.

With all that being said, here is the sample stag night, that WILL blow your friend’s mind. You start quite early, during afternoon on the Shooting Range located in Pasternik (outskirts of Kraków). There, as everyone is still sober, you are opening the entertainment with a package of various weapons to try (including AK-47 or Sniper Rifle). Enjoy it with a beer later and then take a bus to the city. Go for some pub crawling In the main market, you will meet a dozen of people, enjoying one of the greatest city in Poland at its best. Have a specific pub ready for laters, based on the specific preferences. Have something prepared there or improvise on the go. Bear in mind, that others might seek you as a first man later on.
