Self-Launched Prague Party Weekend — Stag or Birthday Celebration

Land at Václav Havel Airport (PRG) and skip the private meet-and-greet car — take bus 119 from outside Terminal 1/2 to Nádraží Veleslavín (~30 CZK/£1 with a 90-minute ticket covering the metro too), then Metro Line A to Staroměstská or Můstek. Check into your hostel or budget hotel, dump bags, and grab a cheap late lunch (svíčková or a goulash with bread dumplings, ~£6–8) at a non-tourist canteen like Cafe Savoy's cheaper neighbour or a 'vývařovna' lunch spot. Book a slot to collect your pre-ordered 90-minute Prague public transport ticket for the weekend from a PID app or machine. In the evening, run your own bar crawl: start at a craft beer bar in Old Town (e.g. U Zlatého Tygra, Zlý Časy in Nusle, or Bad Flash Bar in Žižkov) with welcome shots at the first stop, then move through 3–4 bars with a rough rule of one beer per stop. Budget ~£15–20 for the night including shots and beers; many clubs charge no entry if you arrive before 23:00 or if someone in the group messages the venue in advance. End at a big club in Old Town (e.g. Karlovy Lázně — the huge multilevel club; entry ~£8–10 after 23:00, or Roxy in Old Town for something more alternative). If your group wants the club-ticket part of the original package, look up the venue on GetYourGuide or just message them on Instagram for a guest-list link — often free before midnight.

🚌Airport bus 119 + Metro A from Nádraží Veleslavín (~£1 with a 90-min ticket); rest of the night on foot in Old Town / short tram hops (~£1 each)

🛏Hostel double/twin private room or a shared 4–6 bed dorm at a well-reviewed Old Town/Florenc hostel (e.g. Sophie's Hostel, Miss Sophie's, or Mosaic House) — approx £22–28pp/pn

• →Airport transfer via bus 119 + Metro A
• →Old Town and Žižkov bar crawl (3–4 bars, welcome shots)
• →Optional club entry (Karlovy Lázně or Roxy)

Slow start with a cheap hostel breakfast or a bakery kofola-and-kolache run (~£3). Late morning, do the activity the original package offers as an optional extra — book paintball directly with a Prague venue (e.g. Paintball Prague or one of the Žižkov/Smíchov fields) via their websites or GetYourGuide; expect ~£25–35pp including equipment and 300–500 paintballs for a 2–3 hour session, and arrange a shared taxi/van from the hostel or take a tram + short walk. Go-karting is the alternative: Kart Centrum in Prague 5 or Radotín's outdoor track, ~£20–25pp for a 30–40 min race. Back to the centre by mid-afternoon to shower. For the 'Steak and Strip dinner', book a steak dinner yourself at a grill house like Červený Jelen, Kantýna (standing meat counter — great and cheap), or a mid-range steakhouse for ~£18–25pp with a beer. In the evening, do the night out the original package's way: pre-drink at a bar near Dlouhá street, then hit a club (Dlouhá, Chapeau Rouge, or Nebe) — most charge £5–10 entry or nothing if you arrive early. If the group specifically wants the lap-dance-club element, those venues advertise free entry on their own sites; just message ahead.

🚌Trams and metro across town (~£1 per hop with a 24-hour ticket at ~£4.20 if you'll ride 4+ times); shared taxi/van for paintball ~£5–8pp each way

🛏Same hostel/hotel as night one — approx £22–28pp/pn

• →Paintball session (or go-karting) — self-booked
• →Steak dinner at a grill house or Kantýna
• →Night out: bar pre-drinks + club entry

Recover with a big Czech breakfast or a late brunch at a cafe in Vinohrady (~£7), then a very gentle wander: cross Charles Bridge early (before 9am it's almost empty), climb the Old Town Hall tower if you're feeling brave (~£5), or just sit in a beer garden (Letná's beer garden is a classic hangover cure, open from late morning in season). Check out of accommodation by 10–11am and leave bags in the hostel luggage room (usually free). If you have time, the Kampa Museum or the Mucha Museum are small and low-effort (~£5–8). Head to the airport in good time: Metro A + bus 119 back to PRG (~£1), or a Bolt/Uber for a group splitting the fare (~£12–18 total). If your return flight is late, consider the cheap airport express or just take your time at a cafe near Můstek.
