Research stag weekend destinations, Brits advised

Brits planning a stag party - whether it is in Dublin stag party, Edinburgh or Amsterdam stag party - should do their research, it has been claimed.

According to TripAdvisor, putting some effort into finding out about the destination could be the difference between a dream weekend and a living nightmare.

Commenting on the recent Foreign and Commonwealth Office British Behaviour Abroad report, a spokesperson suggested people consider the consequences of their actions.

"Researching the local customs and laws is an integral part of the trip-planning process," explained Amelie Hurst.

"Our forums are bursting with travellers sharing first-hand tips."

Meanwhile, ABTA added its support to the government's Know Before You Go campaign, pointing out Brits made 70 million visits abroad last year, with the vast majority enjoying a good time.

Those deciding to head to Amsterdam this weekend for their stag do may be interested to know the Uitmarkt is taking place.
