What Stags Are Asking About Amsterdam

Is Amsterdam good for a stag do?

Amsterdam isn’t just good—it’s legendary for a stag do

This city is the perfect mix of wild nights and unforgettable days. You’ve got world-famous nightlife, a range of activities like beer bikes and canal cruises, and that chilled, anything-goes vibe. Whether you’re into wild partying or unique daytime adventures, Amsterdam always delivers.

Where are the best nightlife areas in Amsterdam?

If you’re after epic nights, head straight to Leidseplein, Rembrandtplein, or the Red Light District. Leidseplein is buzzing with pubs, clubs, and live music, while Rembrandtplein is where you’ll find stylish bars and big-name clubs. The Red Light District? Iconic, cheeky, and guaranteed laughs with the lads. Honestly, wherever you land, there’s a bar or club ready to keep the night going.

What are some unique Amsterdam stag do ideas?

Forget the same-old stag stuff. Amsterdam offers things like smashing up cars, posing for a Red Light District photoshoot, or cruising the canals on a private boat with unlimited drinks.

What’s the best way to get around Amsterdam?

Amsterdam’s compact, so walking’s always a win, but come on - it’s Amsterdam. Rent a bike and do it the local way.
