Bachelor Party Weekends in Sofia, Bulgaria

Yes. Food, drinks and hotels cost less than in Prague, there are fewer tourists, and the clubs stay open until sunrise. Groups usually spend the day at the karting track or the paintball field, then do a guided bar crawl through the city center, where beer is cheap.

The clubs stay open until first light, and the venues range from techno clubs in communist-era buildings to rooftop bars. Bar crawl drinks are strong and cheap, and the next bar is usually a short walk away, so the group does not need taxis between them.

For a group of 10, The Essentials is €134 a head, The Main Event €274 and The Black Card €558, for the activities in each. The hotel is quoted separately for your group, and flights are on you. In the builder, the price per head changes as you add activities.

At least two months ahead. That gives your planner time to reserve the venues you want, and booking early often costs less. It also gives everyone time to sort out flights and time off work.

Read through the packages and the activity list, choose what suits the group, and your planner arranges everything after that. If what you want is not listed, send a message and we will build the weekend from scratch around the groom.

Most weekends are built around a bar crawl, with paintball, go-karting and the shooting range alongside it. For groups who want more than drinking there are escape rooms, brewery tours, outdoor trips and strip clubs. The list runs to 46 activities, and you can ask for anything that is not on it.

The team lives in Sofia. We pick the venues worth the money, at the prices locals pay, and the places that overcharge visitors stay off your plan.

Most groups start with a guided bar crawl, with drinking games along the way. Put go-karting or paintball in the daytime and finish one night at a gentlemen's club. Add a tasting, such as the beer tour, if the group wants something slower.

Yes. Crime is low, and late on a Saturday the center is calmer than in most big European cities. Your guide knows the few streets to avoid and stays with the group.

Every package includes its guided activities and entry to the clubs, and some include meals. The hotel is quoted separately for your group. We handle the transfers and the reservations, and the full contents of your package are written out before you pay.

Yes, from six guys to twenty. A small group can change the plan at short notice, and a large one gets a group rate and can take over a venue for the night.

September is the pick, with highs around 22°C and all the outdoor activities running. April to October works for outdoor activities, but May and June get the most rain, so keep an indoor option ready. Winter suits groups who want Christmas markets and mulled wine between bars.

Yes, all of them speak fluent English. Every guide is from Sofia, knows the city without a map, and is used to looking after groups several drinks in.

Usually, yes. Tell your planner as soon as you know and the headcount is changed. How much can still move depends on how late you tell us and what is already reserved, but numbers and activities usually change without the rest of the group paying more. A cancellation the day before the flight is a different matter.

Yes. A driver meets the group at Sofia Airport and takes you to where you are staying. Every package includes the pickup (by party bus on The Black Card), and you can add it to a plan you build yourself.
