Weekend trip but where to go? 3 options
And now comes the prize question: where to go and what do you actually want to do? Let’s go through the options:
A city trip: But where?
You love culture, history or just the pulsating life of a big city? Then how about a city break?
- Berlin, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Prague or London are just some of the cities that offer exciting sights, good food and a lively night scene.
- Whether you spend the day sightseeing or just drifting through the streets, a city offers countless possibilities.
Off to nature
If you prefer to enjoy the peace and beauty of nature, then a trip into the great outdoors might be just the thing. Hiking in the Alps, rafting in a wild river, camping under the stars – these are just some of the activities you can experience in nature. Nothing connects more than a shared adventure in the great outdoors.
Head to an island
Are you ready for sun, sand and sea? Then an island getaway might be just the thing. During the day you can relax on the beach, do water sports or explore the island. In the evening, numerous bars and clubs are waiting for you to turn night into day.
Program: What do you want to do?
If you already have an idea where to go, skip this step. If you’re still without a plan, here are some ideas for activities you can consider:
- Wine tasting: spend the day at a winery and learn all about the winemaking process – with tasting, of course.

If you know where you are going and what you want to do, then you have the most important things behind you. But there are still a few points that you should consider, so that everything goes smoothly.
Final tips for your weekend getaway
1.Organizers: designating one or two people as the main organizers is a great idea. They can take on the responsibility of booking accommodations, arranging transportation and planning activities. They are also the ones the other participants can turn to with questions or concerns.
2. Collect money: Collecting money in advance can avoid many potential disputes and misunderstandings. Make sure everyone involved knows in advance how much they will need to contribute and what that money will cover.
3.Plan B: It’s always good to have a Plan B just in case something goes wrong. Maybe it’s an alternative activity for bad weather, or a backup accommodation in case there are problems with the first one. That way you’ll be prepared for any eventuality.
4.Excuse: Think of a good excuse to “kidnap” the groom or bride. It could be something simple, like a casual dinner, or something more creative, depending on what suits your group and the groom or bride.

Planning a successful bachelor party weekend getaway is no magic trick, but thorough preparation and coordination is still required. Whether you choose a city break, escape into nature or fly to an island, the key is planning early, taking into account the groom or bride’s preferences and a fun program.
Don’t forget to agree on a manageable group size and collect money in advance to avoid potential disputes. Make sure you always have a plan B up your sleeve and be creative when it comes to “kidnapping” the spouse-to-be.
