Amsterdam has a well-earned reputation for being a city of two
halves. When you think of Amsterdam during the daytime, you think of the
charming city filled with beautiful tulips, picturesque windmills and quaint
canals. When you think about Amsterdam in the evening, it's a very different
story! After all, it is well known for being one of the most liberal cities in
Europe. Given the strange dual identity of the city, Amsterdam offers a number
of stag activities that aren't available at other locations. So whichever side
of the city you favour (and frankly why not enjoy both?) an Amsterdam Stag Do is
absolutely brilliant fun!
In fact, it tends to be one of our most popular European
destinations for many reasons. The reputation of the city is one reason of
course, but the fact that it is so easy to get to and comparatively close to
the UK (when you compare it to other European destinations) means that it is
perfect if you want to go abroad but you’ve only got a couple of days to travel,
since the travel time is pretty short.
Where to Stay?
As a true tourist hotspot, Amsterdam offers all kinds of
accommodation for all tastes and all budgets. Whether you're looking for the
best service, the best value or the best of both worlds, an Amsterdam Stag do
will be able to provide you with options that have you covered on both halves. Do
you fancy staying in the centre of the city in one of the poshest hotels you’ve
ever seen and hang the cost? No problem. If you prefer your accommodation to be
more than just a bedroom, and you want some living space for you and the lads
to relax between activities, why not try one of the many apartment options
available?
The accommodation options don’t stop there. As it’s Amsterdam,
there are other options – with guest houses, chain hotels and more available throughout
the year. There’s even a Boatel (a hotel that is on a boat), if you fancy
having some accommodation that is just a bit different! Whatever your
preference, Amsterdam is packed with great places to sleep and to nurse your
hangover between nights out.
Popular activities
Given its party reputation and huge tourist trade, an Amsterdam
Stag Do offers a staggering variety of activities, which means that you won't
be short of options when planning the best party of all time! As well as the
more traditional stag weekend activities such as Paintball, Quad Biking and
Zorb Football, there are a few things available exclusively in Amsterdam that
you might want to consider. One of our most popular offerings is blow karting,
where you get in a go-kart that is powered by the wind and zoom along a
gorgeous white beach. Alternatively, you can traverse Amsterdam's famous canals
(we advise visiting a few bars on the way as well) and enjoy the canal boat bar
tour. One of this author's personal favourites is the Heineken brewery tour,
which includes a few free brewery fresh pints throughout, and which I can't
recommended highly enough!
Nightlife
With the activities out of the way, let's get down to the part
you're all thinking about - the famous Amsterdam nightlife. There are a few
things you can do in the evening in Amsterdam that you'll be hard pushed to do
anywhere else, so you might as well make the most of them! After all, there is
no other city in the world where you can visit the famous Banana Bar, an
experience that will stick with you for the rest of your life, I assure you!
An Amsterdam Stag Do can provide a perfect evening out no matter
what your interests may be – you can spend an evening enjoying some erotic
theatre, tour the infamous red light district or just relax in a suitable café or
bar with the lads. In fact, Amsterdam contains more bars, clubs and gentlemen's
clubs than you can possibly imagine – so many that you might want to take advantage
of one of our guided bar tours to show you around and help make sure you’re not
missing something that you’d absolutely love. We do promise that you'll never run
out of spots to spend your evenings on an Amsterdam Stag Do, because there’s
just too many to visit in one weekend.
Getting there and Getting around
We mentioned earlier about how easy it is to get to Amsterdam. In
fact, you can fly there from twenty one different UK airports (at the time of
writing), and the flights themselves can be an absolute bargain, especially if
you are booking them well in advance! Once you arrive, you can either enjoy
some private airport transfers or just jump on a train, bus or get a taxi to
zoom you into the centre, where you’ll be in about twenty minutes.
Once your Amsterdam Stag Do is underway, you’ll discover that it
is really easy to get around in the city centre, with trams, buses and metros
all readily available throughout the day and night, meaning that no matter where
you are staying, it won’t take long for you to get to the next place you want
to visit.
So whether you're after a relaxed
weekend in a beautiful European city or you're looking for some truly unique
nightlife options, an Amsterdam Stag Do is just the ticket you need to find
yourself experiencing a truly new and unique weekend away – it’s so different
to a UK stag do, that if you’ve never been you really should do.
