If you're asking us, Valencia is a hidden gem for hens who want a mix of relaxation and partying.

7. Lisbon, Portugal
Lisbon is where chilled coastal vibes meet lively nightlife. Spend your days enjoying the signature pastel de nata and wine in Alfama, then hit up some of the endless rooftop bars by night. If Lisbon has been on your must-visit list, you’ll know that Lisbon is likely not the ideal destination for those who don’t enjoy climbing a steep hill or two, but we think that adds to the charm, appeal, and scenic views, of course! For a beachy twist, you can easily head to Cascais or Costa da Caparica via train for a sunset party by the sea.

8. Kraków, Poland
Let’s be real - while you may have always dreamt of an abroad hen, ensuring it’s affordable for your bridal party should always remain a priority.

Indulge in a luxury brunch, head to a local vineyard just outside the city, and then hit the city’s bars for cocktail prices which rival Budapest.
