As hen dos today are far more elaborate than they once were, with many using them as the perfect excuse to head away for some sunshine and partying, swimwear retailer Pour Moi has analysed everything needed for a great hen do, including accommodation costs, the number of bars and clubs and the Instagramability factor for each city to reveal the best places to visit.

    No thanks. No Hen or Stag do’s needed in Budapest. Stick to Benidorm, a dump full of British drunks going lobster red and causing trouble.

    Sadly you’re right. It’s one thing to have a good time, but just can’t seem to behave themselves. Lots of shouting and shrieking, stupidly dressed and being sick! Bad enough being on a flight with them all, no escape then. Yeah, stick to Spain where they can still have a ‘full English breakfast’ and have a pint while watching the football on pub TVs!
