Athlone, a beautiful medieval town in the heart of Ireland, is a popular tourist destination with the River Shannon flows through the whole town. The town proper is really beautiful with the Athlone castle at the town’s center. LoughLee, the biggest lake on the River Shannon, attracts swimmers, birdwatchers, and anglers from all over the country and beyond.
As for the town’s nightlife, Athlone can boast of having the oldest pub in Europe according to the Guinness Book of World Records. Sean’s Bar dates back to 900 and no other pub can claim to be older than that. Besides having a historical pub worth visiting, stags that choose to spend their stag weekend in this town can also look forward to enjoying lots of other outdoor recreational activities aside from those mentioned earlier.
Paintballing is one of the most popular stag do activities in Ireland. It might even be the most popular stag do activity in all of Europe. That is not really shocking because many men dream of dressing up in camouflage and taking on a mission similar to a military mission… to eliminate the enemy. Of course, though that is the goal, all the safety gear will be provided and relatively harmless paintball guns will be used.
