Is a Stag Do in Amsterdam Right for You?

Amsterdam is a true party city.

The Red Light District. The Clubs. The Bars. The Heineken Museum. You'll be spoilt for choice.

However, even those going booze-free will be able to have a blast with the range of activities on offer and the top sights to see.

It's also a great place for stags of all ages as former stag legend Sean confirmed: "We were a group of 14 guys aged from 25 to our late 40s. The activities were brilliant for a stag and really enhanced the overall weekend experience."

Sean and his pals had a two-night stay in a central three-star hotel and took on target shooting and footgolf.

And OK, Amsterdam isn't as sunny as some of its European counterparts, but if you're looking for a legendary city break, you could do a whole lot worse.

When Do Most Stags Go to Amsterdam?

Because people aren't going to Amsterdam for the weather, our stags head there all year round.

March was actually our most popular month in 2023, with 30% of our groups heading to the Dam.

However, people are going out from January through until October.

Being a bouncing party city, Amsterdam's nightlife pops off all year round, so you don't have to hold off until ‘party season'.

Just pack your bags and get going.

Where to Drink in Amsterdam

The Red Light District - As well as all the pretty ladies in the windows, Amsterdam's Red Light District has a load of bars and traditional pubs lining either side of the canal.

Dam Square - In the side streets splitting off from Dam Square, you'll find plenty of bars, Irish pubs, restaurants and more.

Leidseplein - This is Amsterdam's clubbing hub. Head to Leidseplein Square and go from there. Korte Leidsedwarsstraat is packed with cafés, sports bars, clubs, and pubs.

Rembrantplein - Another vibrant booze and food area of the Dam, Rembrantplein is right on the River Amstel with loads of places to kickstart that big night out.

Your Amsterdam Stag Night

"Sorry, lads, no stags," will be a familiar sound to every lad who's ever been on a stag.

Yes, not every pub, bar or club will allow a group of 14+ guys in without a booking – and Amsterdam is no different.

Sidestep the usual hassle by booking up your Amsterdam stag night with StagWeb.

From bar entry to guestlist nightclubbing, you can sort your night out in advance so you can rest easy knowing everything is in hand.

Amsterdam is a hugely popular party destination, too, so it's always a good idea to book ahead of time before places reach capacity.

Check out the nightlife tab and add it to your itinerary or speak to our Destination Specialist for more info.

Where to Stay in Amsterdam on a Stag Do?

We have plenty of stag-friendly accommodation options in Amsterdam, no matter where you plan on partying.

Be sure to check the map on each hotel or, if you need more advice about where to stay, speak to our Amsterdam Destination Specialist on 01225 474200. They'll be able to advise you on the best places to stay.

Getting to Amsterdam

Flights

Almost all UK airports offer direct flights to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (check your nearest airport in advance).

Flights are short and sweet and you can get there in just over an hour.

Easy.

Not sure if you should book your flights before or after you've booked your stag?

Check out our handy tips guide for booking flights for the stag do now.

Getting from Schiphol Airport to the City Centre

Train - There is a railway station directly under Schiphol Airport which will take you to Amsterdam Central Station. You can buy a ticket from one of the many machines beforehand. It takes about 15-20 minutes. Probably the easiest and most cost-effective option.

Taxi - There will be a range of taxis out front that will drop you straight at your accommodation. Expect to pay more than you would for the train, but split between 5/6/7 of you, it might not be too bad.

Private Transfers - We can arrange private transfers for you and the lads to take you straight to your hotel. At the bottom of your Amsterdam stag enquiry form, simply select that you want transfers and your Destination Specialist will factor that into your quote.

Sexy Hitchhiker - Get a private transfer from the airport and pick up a hitchhiker en route to your accommodation. But this won't be any hitchhiker, this will be a sexy hitchhiker who turns out to be a smoking hot stripper. A proper stag arrival.

Getting Around Amsterdam

Walking - Famously, the Netherlands is completely flat, so walking around Amsterdam is a breeze. The best party districts (De Wallen, Leidseplein, Rembrantplein, etc.) are all within one mile of each other.  

OVpay, OV-Chipkaart, I amsterdam City Card - You can hop on and off Amsterdam's extensive public transport network thanks to a range of payment methods. They allow for unlimited use of the public transport system for 24, 48, 72, or 120 hours. Find out more about paying for public transport in Amsterdam and sort yours ahead of time.

Taxis & Uber - Amsterdam has Uber as well as a load of taxis, so make sure you download the app before you get there. Be wary of the unlicensed taxis that try their luck at the airport. Licensed taxis will have blue number plates, roof lights, and official logos/names of their operators.

Amsterdam Stag Do FAQs

Is Amsterdam good for a stag do?

Amsterdam is one of the most popular European cities for a stag do. Thanks to the Red Light District, café culture, delicious beers and a wide range of stag activities to take on and conquer, you won't be short of things to do in the Dutch capital.

Is Amsterdam strict on drinking in public?

You aren't allowed to drink whilst you're walking around in Amsterdam. But with a bar every twenty yards, you won't need to. If you're thirsty for a boozy refreshment, nip into your nearest bar and sample some of Amsterdam's finest brews.

Is alcohol in Amsterdam cheap?

Amsterdam is about as expensive as most major UK cities (probably a bit cheaper than London). A pint of beer will set you back in the region of €6-€7 in most central bars and pubs.

Is Amsterdam good for clubbing?

Unless you've been living under a rock, you'll have heard about Amsterdam's party scene. With every venue you could think of (traditional pubs, sports bars, cocktail joints, techno nights - everything), there's something for all tastes and styles.

Is there a dress code for bars in Amsterdam?

Most bars and clubs are pretty casual, but don't just guess. Check in advance on their websites. If it doesn't say, err on the side of caution. Use your common sense, too. Some VIP bars might want a bit more than jeans and trainers.

Can you wear fancy dress in bars in Amsterdam?

It's best to check in advance whether you can wear fancy dress or not. Again, err on the side of caution. Fancy dress is fun, but it shouldn't be offensive or too vulgar.

How long should you go to Amsterdam for?

83% of our stags heading to Amsterdam for their stag dos in 2023 went for a total of three or four days (two or three nights). This gives you enough time to take on a range of Amsterdam activities, enjoy a couple of nights out, and see the sights of the city.

Do You Have Any Amsterdam Stag Packages?

We have a range of Amsterdam stag packages made up of a combination of our most popular activities.

They're priced up and ready to book, but they're also fully flexible if you want to edit them.

Simply enquire for the one you like the look of and let us know what you want to swap.

When it comes to booking your Amsterdam stag activities, we'd recommend a maximum of three per day (and a minimum of one).

Why a maximum of three?

Well, you probably won't have time to do more than that as well as see some sights and enjoy a big night out.

You'll need to also factor in the length of the activity and how long it takes to get to the activity, too.

Luckily, with StagWeb, we sort out all the logistics for you, so you won't need to worry about figuring all that stuff out.
