Who says that the guys should have all of the fun on their stag weekends? Most hens would totally disagree with this philosophy and, in fact, you may want to batten down the hatches as hens are more notorious partiers than you may think.

Gone are the days when women were quiet and didn’t dare to enter a watering hole unless they were accompanied by a man. In these times of more equal independence, ladies are often keen to send the bride off with unforgettable hen weekends .

In fact, hens are tending to take their party more and more serious every year. Where as the stags used to tend to travel a bit farther, girls are now thinking - hang on a minute, why shouldn’t we do exactly the same?

Hen weekend destinations would be broadly in line with the best places for stags to travel to; namely the party capitals of Europe. The Mediterranean islands are always popular, with Ibiza and Majorca definitely topping the list. Cyprus and several Greek islands are also ideal hotspots for hens and Amsterdam, Paris and Prague make for ideal city destinations.

Hens are tending to look a bit farther north in Europe now though and the Baltic states are proving to be ever-popular hen weekend destinations. Specifically, Riga and Tallinn are enchanting, fairy tale cities that seem to enable all of the hens to have the best possible time.
