Amsterdam Stag Do

Why have an Amsterdam Stag Do

Known as the world's most opened-minded city with a relaxed attitude to the more risqué activities, drugs, alcohol and pretty much everything, Amsterdam and stag parties have long been a match made in heaven.

Yes, it's endless possibilities and endless fun when it comes to a stag do in Amsterdam. From the red neon windows to all the bars and clubs, this is one city that has a well-deserved party reputation and is sure to give the groom-to-be a send-off to remember.

And considering it is the world's most opened-minded city, our top Amsterdam stag do activities tend to focus on 'party', 'beer' and 'sex'. So, it should make sense that our top activities include an Amsterdam Booze Cruise, the Beer Bike, Sexy Wake-up, Fake Arrest, and a Private River Cruise with Stripper.

But, it's not all about Amsterdam's Red Light District or coffee shops serving up more than just lattes, you can also enjoy some of the less risqué activities including car smash, bubble football, quad biking and paintball. Or for true stag mayhem, you can get your hands on some real guns with our Amsterdam shooting packages.

Either way, Amsterdam stag do activities are second to none and can't be beaten on variety or madness.

Nightlife for your Amsterdam Stag Do

A city where anything goes, Amsterdam's nightlife is rightly famous and contrary to anywhere else in the world. With enough clubs, bars, coffee houses and more to keep even the most seasoned partygoer going all night long, it's reputation as the original City of Sin is well deserved.

The main areas for clubbing in Amsterdam are Rembrandtplein and Leidseplein, although there are clubs scattered throughout the city, including in and around the Canal Ring (Grachtengordel)‎ and Spui. For the not-to-be-missed Red Light District, you need to go to De Wallen.

Amsterdam can tend to be on the pricey side, so to ensure you avoid any tourist traps and get the most bang for your buck, Maximise recommends going on a guided bar crawl. This is the best way to get a feel for the city and sample Amsterdam's best watering holes.

Maximise can also up the ante and fun during your Amsterdam bar crawl with a dwarf, which is always a great stag stitch-up or we sort you out with a VIP table and drinks package once you hit the club.

Of course, Amsterdam is famed for the more risqué nightlife options, so Maximise can also offer a Dominatrix Bar Crawl, Dinner & Strip, a limo tour with a stripper, Sexy Oil Wrestling and even a Live Sex Show for your stag entertainment.

Guide for your Amsterdam Stag Do

While Amsterdam has been dubbed as the city where anything goes, there are a few ground rules that every traveller should know and stick to, especially for you stags!

Firstly, taking photos of the working women, especially in the neon-red windows is forbidden. You can look at them, you can touch them, hell you can even lick them - the windows that is - but do not get out your phone and start snapping away. The area is monitored by security and they will confront you and make you delete your photos. Sorry lads, the memories will just have to do.

Blue Lights are not the same as Red. If you do find yourself in De Wallen, better known as the Red Light District, you may find some windows are illuminated by blue instead of red and this indicates a transgender sex worker is behind the glass. Definitely, something you guys should know before you head off on your Amsterdam stag do.

It tends to surprise a lot of visitors that, while you can legally light up a joint in an Amsterdam coffee shop, you can’t light up a cigarette. Some coffee houses may have a designated smoking area and while some might give you a warning, others might enforce the anti-smoking rule with a fine. So, just stick to the weed and you should be fine. Although, don't just light up a joint and start smoking it in the streets. Like anywhere, that's illegal. As is cocaine, LSD and all drugs except for marijuana. As of 2008, even magic mushrooms have been banned. So, if you want to take advantage of Amsterdam's lax laws, just head to a coffee shop and try something other than a latte.

As for getting into the city after arriving at the airport, Maximise suggests taking the easy and comfortable option with our Return Airport Transfers. No public transport, no taxis and no hassle - just how every stag do should start and end.
