Amsterdam Stag Do's

Getting around

The city centre is fairly small, scenic, and flat which is why a lot of people tend to venture around on foot during a stag weekend in Amsterdam. If you don’t fancy walking, then trams are a good and cost-effective travel option. Most of them tend to have a conductor on board who you can buy tickets from. You’ll only be able to purchase 1h and 24h tickets on board the tram and at tourist offices. It’s important to remember, when boarding and alighting a tram, you must check in and out by placing your ticket/OV-chipkaart on one of the readers, even if you have just bought a ticket on board. Or, you and the lads could hire bikes for the day and travel around like the locals! Cars and taxis are only practical if you’re heading outside of the city, but if you book with us then remember that we do offer transfers just ask your Event Planner for more information.

Tips and ideas

If you’re looking to kick the weekend off the right way, then you should book the Police Stripper Pick-Up! This will certainly get the stags pulse racing and perfectly sets the tone for the weekend ahead. From a Heineken Brewery Tour Experience to Car Smash, Amsterdam is a stag do destination that caters for all. If you fancy doing a spot of sightseeing, then you might decide to take to the waters and go on a Canal Cruise with your Amsterdam stag party. There are a few options (read: booze vs no booze) but the activity itself remains the same. If you’d like, we could even book a dinner with your cruise for you to enjoy whilst enjoying the sights of the city from the water. If this doesn’t take your fancy, then we have other meal options for you to choose from. This way you can ensure that your stomachs are sufficiently lined before hitting the clubs or the Red-Light District (aka ‘Rossebuurt’). Once you’re in the district, there are peep shows for you and the lads to attend. Just remember, it is forbidden to take photos of the women behind the red windows. Doing so will get you and your group into more trouble than it’s worth.

There are plenty of fancy cocktail bars and pubs, but what makes Amsterdam really special is its cafés. So, why not play ‘booze bingo’ and have a drink in each? You could always start with something familiar and head to Browns cafés which are like cosy British pubs followed by the spacious and stylish Grand cafés. We’d also recommend taking a trip to the tasting houses (or Proeflokalen) which serve traditional Dutch gin and a range of obscure liqueurs.

Nightlife

Amsterdam is a city which is brimming with vibrant bars and clubs for you to enjoy. The nightclubs tend to be grouped in the Canal Ring of the city which means that you won’t have to go far if you’re club hopping on your Netherlands stag do! We do understand that sometimes the sheer amount of choice can feel a little overwhelming. With this in mind, we offer some fantastic guided bar crawls that are sure to have you sampling some of the best of Amsterdam nightlife. We’d recommend taking a trip to Banana Bar which is a venue that is certainly iconic and well-known! We can also organise you an hour of unlimited drinks for the group to enjoy. If you fancy trying something a little more unique, then you might want to consider a Party Bus or a Happy Ending Red Light Tour. This isn’t as risqué as it sounds, it’s mostly a chance for you and the group to get a knowledgeable tour of one of Amsterdam’s most popular tourist attractions!
