A few boys from work are looking to go on a lads’ outing next January and we’ve decided that Poland will be our country of choice as we can get return flights for less than £50.

The question is, where do we go? Warsaw or Krakow? Anyone been to either of these places in a boys on the lash capacity recently and can advise on prices, accommodation and places to go/avoid?

Been to Krackow. Lovely place Bar Louisa very good.

However, Poles are a bit fed up of english lads coming over on the lash and trying it on with all the local skirt. Advise you to keep yourselves to yourselves and walk away if anyone wants to start trouble as it is you the police will haul off.

Warsaw is a bit industrial but great nightlife if you find the right places. Krakow is allgedly beautiful but I have heard a few too many stories of Locals wanting to fight the English to make it seem a good place to go. Polish blokes can be a bit backwards at times and Loud wealthy (to them) English blokes are a good target.

Have you thought of Gdansk?

We go where Easyjet goes on the cheap!

Gdansk - Ryan Air - Cheaper than Easy Jet

I went to Krakow last year and enjoyed it. Nice city, with a few things to do in the surrounding area too. I can thoroughly recommned the Hotel Wentzl. W E N T Z L

As i said it is a great place but they can want a battle. don't forget Poland is quite a catholic country and they just don't appreciate the mass number of UK stag weekends coming in when all they seems to do is drink and throw up.

We don't even like it in this country so the Polish are even less amused.

There'll only be 5 of us, all in our 30s, not a stag weekend and all respectable(ish). I'm probably the roughest going

No loons amongst us and just wanting a good few days out.

Not saying you are just saying get ready to walk away if there are issues. We did go on a very good stag weekend but someone tried to start a fight with the groom's 50 year old dad! we just left en masse immediately and there were a lot of us. not worth ruining the weekend for.

for can get some good deals to auschwitz if you haggle with drivers at the train station. Also make sure all taxis go on the meter or you agree price upfront or they will rip you off.

I think we'll be ok on that score

What are the prices like over there?

boxst

It is more expensive than it used to be as the Pound is only 4.2 (ish) to the Zloty, but still cheaper than here.

Warsaw is more expensive than Krakow.

Sound like a bunch of hypocrits then, can't move for them over here and then they moan when we go over there.

Be advised, the Polska's can have a row if needs be...lol

fatherpierre

The last thing we'll be after is a row.

Just want a good few days out.

JimmyBFC

I think you'll have a good time, but has been said, the Polish can be nutters at times, just keep yourselves to yourselves like you say you do

Just dont upset this guy if you bump into him....

I went to Krakow last year in February (IIRC). Was damn cold at times but a very nice place.

Had a couple of excellent meals here - the goulash was superb. It's worth finding (it's up by the castle)

For a reason

Get on plane to Ostrava in czech,and czech out Stodolni street.it has 80 bars and restaurants,Effin great.

I went to Wroclaw in Poland in May, not as well known and touristy as Krakow, but loads of great bars and gorgeous looking women

Its not as cheap as you think in the centre of town though

fatherpierre

I'm going with blokes that are a mixture of the Sweeney, Life On Mars and the WBC Heavyweight Boxing Championship 1983, so handling ourselves won't be an issue!

Just a group of blokes wanting a few beers, food and decent place to go. We did Magaluf in Aug for the silly stuff and all came back ok!

We're going to celebrate a mate getting promoted to DCI and he's funding the flights and digs, and offered to pay the lot - so a cheap, but good venue is needed as he'll force us to not pay!!!

im from worksop mate, think i saw you about two weeks ago. is your car silver with mud flaps and a loud exhaust, the guy was wearing a base ball cap if it was you

No point in going to Poland now as the entire population lives in St Helens... When I saw the Polish Shop I thought it was odd as I didnt realise the Mr Sheen market was so big, then someone pointed out it was to cater for the migrants...
Seriously - there is no one there... Stay here and get drunk in St Helens...

fatherpierre

Just helping balance stuff out!

The Poles over here seem to be hard workers from my experience. They clean my house a treat, and just had a wall built in my garden for 30% of the price quoted by a couple of local jokers.

Keep your passport with you.
