Look no further than our MonsteRoller e-scooters!

For now, though, let’s get started on some of our favourite Budapest stag-do ideas! If you have any questions for us in the meantime, please feel free to get in touch.

Budapest Stag Do — The Perfect Location for Your Party!

One of the best things about Budapest is the variety of nightlife on offer. Stag do nights in Budapest are known for being legendary, and the wide range of places to go won’t let you down. Whether you’re looking for trendy rooftop bars or underground clubs, you’ll find it all here. And don’t forget the famous ruin bars! These quirky, unique places are housed inside abandoned buildings in District VII, the Jewish Quarter, and always feature in lists of cool and unusual things to do in Budapest. The locals love to spend time at these pubs before hitting their favourite nightclubs.

But it’s not just about the nightlife. The Hungarian capital is famous for stunning architecture, with historic buildings and picturesque streets around every corner. Our city was even named ‘the Paris of the East’ because of its exceptional beauty. You’ll love wandering around and taking in the sights before hitting the town for a night of partying.

For those who want to relax and unwind before (or after) the big night out, Budapest also has plenty of spas and wellness facilities. Many of the city’s famous thermal baths — like Széchenyi Baths and Gellért Baths — are open late, so you can soak in the warm waters and ease away any pre-wedding stress.

And perhaps the best thing about Budapest is the affordable prices. The last thing you want on a stag do is to have constant worries about how much money you’re spending. You can have an amazing time in Budapest without breaking the bank, so you can enjoy your party with no worries… except maybe how you might feel in the morning!

If you’ve never visited Budapest before, it may be hard to visualise the kind of experience waiting for you here. Let us help you with that below!

Your Budapest stag tour is no run-of-the-mill sightseeing tour — we’re talking about a 1.5 or 2-hour ride that’s tailor-made just for you and your group. One of our most popular routes starts from our store in Buda and zooms along the gorgeous banks of the Danube, passing Buda Castle and Fisherman’s Bastion. We then embark on a fun ride around Margitsziget (Margaret Island) and back again.

On the island, you’ll be able to enjoy the great atmosphere as we ride through this huge traffic-restricted park in the heart of the city. We’ll glide by the best spots and make stops wherever you like. There are plenty of options, including Rose and Japanese gardens, an ancient monastery and convent ruins, a musical fountain, some nice clearings where locals go to chill, and an awesome water tower with great views. Ride, cruise, and roll, like an eco-friendly bike gang!

But hey, if you’ve got a crazy idea in mind, we’re all ears — we can customize a route just for your group. And don’t worry, we’re not going to bore you with a bunch of history lessons. This tour is all about fun, games, and flash quizzes! Plus, we’ll make sure you stay refreshed with a beer at the end of the ride. We can even supply the groom-to-be with a Batman costume!

Hit up some rooftop bars, where you can enjoy some music, incredible drinks, and tasty food while overlooking the city.

Laser tag is a fun activity since you already have enough people to form a team. If you want even more excitement, try a shooting gallery or axe throwing. An escape room can also provide a unique, fantastic, and frantic experience.

Tips for Staying Safe in Budapest

A stag do is a lot of fun, especially if you spend it in another country gaining unique experiences with your friends. However, there are a few things you should pay attention to so that nothing ruins the night.

Here is a stag-do safety guideline for you:

• It is always better to stay in a group, especially at night. When the party gets too crazy, nobody wants to find themselves wandering the streets of a foreign country alone, so look out for your mates.
• Drink responsibly. Getting sick and having to return to the hotel is not exactly the ideal party for anyone. It is easy to get carried away with alcohol and partying, but a glass of water here and there and not mixing your drinks can work wonders. And take care around our signature drink pálinka! It has an alcohol level of 45 to 55% and the “normal” shot size is 4cl, not the 2cl you often find in other parts of the world.
• That said, make sure you don’t leave your drink unattended. Alcohol spiking can happen in any pub or nightclub anywhere, so it’s always best to have your drink in sight.
• Avoid unlicensed cabs. The best way to get a taxi is to call a trustworthy company, use a ride-hailing app or go to one of the taxi stands. Getting into an unlicensed taxi is not only very expensive, but it can be hazardous. Bolt is the best and most common option for ordering a car.
• If you go into nightclubs or indulge in different activities with your group, make sure you have a set meeting point. It is a day to focus on having fun, but leaving the hotel with a fully charged phone is also essential. This will ensure that nobody gets left behind or lost. But there’s good news! An increasing number of bars, restaurants, and cafes offer powerbanks for rent or other charging station options, so you can easily avoid the dreaded dead phone.
• If you are out of mobile data, don’t worry; Budapest has many hotspots for you to connect. In addition, almost all cafes and restaurants have WiFi as well.
• Always use official national bank ATMs, like MKB, OTP, Erste, or UniCredit. Avoid using ATMs next to nightclubs and bars, as these can take very high commissions and offer unfavourable exchange rates.
• Don’t change money on the street. Always go to a professional money exchanger to avoid being scammed. Many places are still cash-only, like smaller pubs, souvenir stores, and eateries, so always have some to hand.
• When in Budapest, Google Maps is a handy application to have. You can plan all your routes easily with public transport, by walking, by car or by bike. The latter You can even check your taxi’s path to ensure they will not charge you for a longer ride than necessary.
