Help Settle a Debate: Paris or Prague

All guys?

So here is the deal, I have been to Paris and it might be my favorite city on Earth. I have not been to Prague but have done a great deal of research on it.

IF it is a bunch of single guys, I would probably consider Prague. Prague is supposed to have amazing beer...and I think it is more suited for single guys, I'll put it that way.

I personally see Paris as somewhat more of a couples trip, but Paris has a huge party scene as well and some unbelievable women if you're dudes.

I love Paris, you really can't go wrong either way I don't think.

Couple of other things:

Paris probably has a LOT more to do. The Catacombs, the Eiffel and all that stuff is pretty awesome to see.

Prague will almost certainly be cheaper.

Ill be in Prague for a honeymoon in two weeks. Both my wife and I love drinking, and Ive been to Europe before with just dudes trying to party- so I'll have a better understanding then.

Since you are going to Bruges and Munich I'd go to Paris as its in the middle.

Prague is more known for beer, but the micro brew scene can be found pretty much around the world now.

If 3 out of 4 have never been to Paris and the one guy that has loved it, I'd do Paris. Its a lot bigger city. You'll have tons of stuff and more to do there.

I've been thinking about that as well.

And actually, I'm the only one who hasn't been to Paris. One guy absolutely loves it and another has the "I've been there, I like it, but let's go somewhere else this time" mantra.

I'm thinking maybe just do Paris and then do a strictly Eastern Europe trip another time.

What's sending you to Bruges, then Munich? I understand if you're trekking to visit friends/family and have free places to stay, but you're going to spend a decent amount of time & money schlepping around.

bingo. seems like a lot of dead time via traveling

Prague. One of the top "Stag Do" capitals of the world!

I would do Prague over Paris and Ghent over Bruges. But that is a spread out itinerary as others have said.

Prague is my favorite city that I've ever visited. Can't wait to go back.

If it's a guys trip and you're looking to just take in the city and drink then Prague is perfect for that.

The beer is cheaper than water.

In your OP you talk about not being big partiers then you bring back up the party scene in Prague. So I'd be honest with yourself there. But more importantly I'd be honest about your group.

Nothing wrong with partying at all, but you can go and drink from dinner to 10 and then pass out and hit the sites the next days at normal time.

If you go with the plan to party you need to realize that many places go super late in and don't start until super late in Europe. If you are partying until 4am then your next day is pretty worthless for sightseeing.

I'd also be honest about your group in that if one guy stays out all night then you don't want to rely on waiting for him the following day.

Op you need to consider flights too. Which you never mentioned. You are not flying into Bruges for example from the states.

You are really planning this trip back arse words.

Figure out your flights to and from the states, then plan in between them. You may get dirt cheap flights out of somewhere else and decide that would be great too.
