1. Lisbon
With its warm climate and supreme party scene, Lisbon is the perfect place to organize a stag weekend with your friends. The city offers plenty of bars and clubs, but the best neighborhood for parties is with no doubt Bairro Alto. Because of its streets packed with bars, the area has become known as Lisbon’s party district. Bairro Alto is made up of numerous narrow streets and tiny bars that around 11pm start to attract thousands of party goers. Most of the people just grab the drinks inside the bars but then drink in the streets, creating the perfect atmosphere for a bachelor party. Cais do Sodré is also another popular party area. Located very close to Barrio Alto, this district also features many bars and some clubs. And besides the night life, there is plenty of fun stuff to do in the Portuguese capital. You can relax under the sun, go surfing at Carcavelos beach, or play golf at one of the best golf courses of the country.
