Cologne is Germany’s fourth biggest city, and always a popular option for a stag do. It’s been around since 38BC, and in that time has grown to become a city of culture, entertainment, and more than a couple of bridges. But unless you are a bridge-spotter, that’s not why you are heading here.
No, you’re heading to Cologne to see if you can enjoy a weekend of fun, entertainment, and just a hint of debauchery along the way. Don’t worry, this German city has definitely got you covered. In fact, of all the destinations we’ve visited, a Cologne stag do was one of the most exciting we’d ever experienced. It is definitely up there in our list of "best destinations you hadn’t thought of."
To make planning your German getaway simple, we have created packages that combine the best elements of the city into one easy booking.
Our packages group your accommodation, activities, and nightlife essentials together. Whether you want a beer-focused weekend visiting the best brauhauses or an adrenaline-fuelled trip with rafting and shooting, we can tailor a package to suit your group's budget and style.

The first thing anyone asks us about a European trip is "how am I going to get there?" The good news is that there are a few airports in the UK that offer flights to Cologne, some direct and some indirect, but all at a great price.
The direct ones mean that you can be there in under an hour and forty-five minutes. Since you can get from the airport to the city centre in less than fifteen minutes, you can be in a bar having a drink and getting your Cologne stag weekend started just two hours after you left the UK!
Getting around the city is absolutely easy as well. There is a wide range of public transport available, with buses, trams, and the S-Bahn (City Rapid Railway), so you won’t have trouble navigating while you are enjoying your weekend away.
We offer a great range of Cologne stag accommodation options. Whether you want a budget-friendly hostel that keeps costs down for the lads, or a more comfortable hotel right in the centre of the action, we can arrange it.
Being centrally located is key here, as you want to be within staggering distance of the Altstadt (Old Town) where the best bars and brauhauses are found. We ensure all our accommodation puts you right where you need to be.
With all the activities you can think of at your fingertips, a Cologne stag party is an absolutely brilliant option for any group of lads. Sometimes, the best activities can be the ones you’d never immediately think of.
For example, the chance to explore the city on a Segway is entertaining, informative, and hilarious when someone inevitably falls off!
If the stag is a football fan, why not arrange a tour of the RheinEnergieSTADION – the home of FC Köln? You’ll get to look around at all of the aspects of the stadium, including stepping out onto the pitch yourselves! Alternatively, there’s something about travelling to Germany that encourages groups to play a game of Five-a-Side Football – almost as if they are trying to replicate the 1966 World Cup victory!
Other popular options include the Beer Bike (where you all pedal a giant 8-seater bike around the city while drinking beer at the same time), Cyber Golf, and White Water Rafting. These are just three more of the options that are commonly picked to be a part of a perfect weekend.
In the evening, there’s one thing you absolutely have to do on your Cologne stag do: drink some of the best beer you have ever tasted. The local beer, Kölsch, is served in small glasses to keep it fresh, and the waiters (Kobes) will keep bringing them until you put your coaster on top of the glass!
You’ll have plenty of places to try the beer, as the city has a ridiculous number of drinking establishments. To make sure you make the most out of it, we highly recommend adding a Guided Bar Crawl to your package. A local guide will show you the best brauhauses and bars, ensuring you avoid the tourist traps.
And it’s not just the drinking – the evenings can also include nightclubs, great meals out (like a traditional Pork Knuckle feast), a Stripper Dinner, or even an evening afloat on a Party Boat. Whatever you want out of a night out, we can arrange it for you.
In short, whatever type of weekend you want to experience, there is absolutely no reason not to make it a Cologne stag do. With amazing activities, astounding nightlife, and a brilliant overall atmosphere, it is definitely the place to go.
