Amsterdam Stag Food ▾
Our Amsterdam stags love aBBQ in Eerste Marnixplantsoen with usor aribs and wings buffet lunch. Or head to theRembrandtpleinfor Amsterdam’s trendiest restaurants, while theJordaanandDe Pjipare a must-visit for popping street stalls. Indonesian food has a huge presence in The Netherlands, with loaded takeaway boxes ofrendang curry, rice and satayall yours for around €5. If you can stomach it,herringis a popular hangover cure: served raw with onions in little booths along the harbour.
For something a little closer to home,fried salt codmakes a great lunch, served on that day’s newspaper.Oorlog french fries(aka ‘war chips’) are eaten from a cone, topped with mayonnaise, peanut sauce and raw onion - it’s unusual at first, but it gets addictive!
The Best Time to Visit Amsterdam
The Dutch capital is great place to visit for a stag weekend all year round, but the weather is at it's finest from April to May and September to November.
Read more about when to visit Amsterdam ▾
Amsterdam is it at its busiest in the spring, so make sure you book travel for your stag party in advance. The weather is often more unpredictable from in the autumn months from September through November so make sure you take some layers and waterproofs just in case. The weather is cold and beautiful in Winter but your flights and stay will be cheaper as you enter the quietest part of the travel season.
Amsterdam Stag Expert: Darcy
I’ve loved every minute working at Chillisauce and have learned so much on the job. When not at work helping customers, I love spending my free time out with friends and attending events. I am also passionate about visiting new places and going on holiday!
Amsterdam has to be my favourite location that I’ve visited so far. It’s a truly versatile destination, accommodating for so many different types of people. It has so many unique qualities, such as the red-light district, coffee shops and loads of bars that are constantly buzzing all night! Not only does the city have great nightlife, but it is gorgeous in daylight with its iconic canals. A perfect package!
Darcy's Amsterdam hot picks ▾
Definitely add aguided bar crawlto your stag package if you haven’t been to Amsterdam before. There are many bars in theLeidseplein, so it’s a good idea to get to single the best ones. We’ll make sure you don’t miss out on visiting the best hidden gems!
I highly recommend the canal cruise.Amsterdam’s beautiful canalsare great vantage points to see the sights, paired with90 minutes of unlimited drinks. The total package!

Amsterdam Neighbourhoods
Amsterdam is a modern city that retains a village-like atmosphere, in no small part thanks to its characterful neighbourhoods.
Centrum
Amsterdam-Centrum a tourist hotspot, marked by its iconic canal belt surrounded by historic Golden Age houses that pop with colour. Come here for most of the city’s biggest attractions like the 17th-century Royal Palace, or get lost in the craziness of Dam Square.
De Wallen (Red Light District)
De Wallen is much more than sex shops and peep shows. This neighbourhood dates back over 700 years, home to beautiful churches like the Oude Kerk alongside modern restaurants, video game arcades and creative studios. The government is keen to redevelop the area and refresh its debaucherous image - so expect big changes to come.
De Pjip
This former working-class enclave is now one of the trendiest parts of Amsterdam, home to the famous Albert Cyup Market and an increasing number of young people setting up hip brunch cafes. Come here for a taste of Amsterdam at its coolest.
Westerpark
Escape into the green, green arms of one of the biggest parks in Amsterdam and roam through an urban beach, Amsterdamse School architecture and the Molen de Otter - one of the city’s last remaining windmills.

Read about Amsterdam Laws ▾
Amsterdam Laws
Cannabis:Cannabis in all its forms is tolerated in Amsterdam - not legal. You can consume til your heart’s content inside coffeeshops, but you’re limited to possession of 5 grams per person outside. Smoking weed in public is tolerated, but it’s best to do so in private or certain bar terraces to be on the safe side (and to be polite). For more information on all things green, the Coffeeshop Info Centre is a great resource.
Red Light District:Prostitution has been legal in Amsterdam since 2000, with sex workers paying taxes and enjoying the same labour rights as every other profession. Do not, under any circumstances, take photos of the Red Light District window displays - businesses will likely confiscate your camera and give you an earful.
Magic truffles(a close cousin to shrooms), peyote and ayahuasca can be bought legally from ‘smart shops’. The most powerful type of "magic mushrooms," containing psilocybin, were made illegal in 2008.
Avoid:Smoking tobacco inside bars (with the exception of cannabis in coffee shops). Hard drugs like cocaine, ecstasy, LSD and heroin are forbidden in The Netherlands.
