....On a Stag weekend.

Well talk about forward planning. Last night we'd planned my mate's stag for next March!

After much debate I suggested Berlin and everyone thought aye yeah!

So has anyone been to Berlin and can suggest stag activities other than drinking stupid amounts of German beer?

Yes. And, no.

:)

I think Berlin should be sticky along with Barcelona. It's asked so often here. What is the stag interested in if he's not interested in beer?

There's loads to do in Berlin. Give me an idea of your expectations and I'll come up with some suggestions.

We asked the stag the same question and he said I'm easy, whatever.

Barca was the other location we considered, but Berlin flights are cheaper.

I spent a few nights in Berlin last month. Spent loads of time wandering around Potzdamer Platz. Didn't get much of a chance to drink the german beer, cos it wasn't my mate's scene.

Spent ages smoking weed in the Tiergarten too.

How about one of the many Trabi tours?
Quite fun.

Berlin isn't really a stag kinda city ... Munich would be better.

I was thinking that (/\) too, tbh. I love Berlin - one of my favourite world cities, and I'd go and live there tomorrow if I could find gainful employment there, but as a stag weekend place? Not so sure. Depends what you're after of course. You could be after a low-key cool kind of affair where you don't wanna keep bumping into other groups of British lads. If so it could be your place.
Depending on what kind of people you are, I'd choose an area/district of a night and stick to that. Kreuzberg or Friedrichshain for grungy anarcho-cool, Prenzlauerberg for alternative arty cool, Mitte for upmarket arty cool, Tiergarten for sleaze (it is a stag night, right?)/expensive tourist bars/expensive rich person's bars.
I'd really reccommend doing your research, and buying some kind of credible guide with nightlife in it, as it's such a big city and you could easilly end up missing what suits you best and wandering aimlessly. Alternatively, hire a stag weekend planner to do the basics for you - but I guess yu'll end up with a pretty generic and 1-d version of Berlin, then. But fuick it - it's a stag do, and hiring someone to do the organisational shit can really take the heat off the best man.
Have fun, though.

My group aren't the run around wearing false breasts and trying to drink the country dry kind of people so Berlin will be better than Munich.
We see enough of that sort of behaviour in our own city unfortunately.

Besides I've seen that film Munich and don't fancy being assasinated by Israelis!
