What Stags Are Asking About Amsterdam
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.
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.
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. Fancy a prank? Get the groom “arrested” by an actor in a stag arrest experience. Or, for beer lovers, there’s the Heineken Brewery tour. Amsterdam is packed with unique and creative stag do ideas.
Amsterdam’s compact, so walking’s always a win, but come on - it’s Amsterdam. Rent a bike and do it the local way. For longer trips, trams and buses are super reliable, or grab an Uber if you’re in a hurry. And if you really want to turn heads, hop on a beer bike and pedal your way around the city with drinks flowing. No one forgets a beer bike.
You’ve got loads of choices, from budget hostels perfect for big groups to swanky apartments where you can crash in style. For the best bang for your buck, we can organise a place just outside the city centre - cheaper but still close to the action. Whether it’s a comfy pad or a party-friendly spot, we can find you somewhere in Amsterdam to match your vibe and budget.
