Amsterdam is the north's premium stag destination: a private canal boat, craft beers and the wildest nightlife in Northern Europe, just 1h20 from Paris.
Why have your stag do in Amsterdam?
No city feels like Amsterdam: a private canal boat by day, craft breweries in the afternoon, then Leidseplein and the red-light district at night. Everything is compact, bike-friendly and the party is unapologetic. Premium, but the stag do you'll still talk about years later.
How much does a stag do in Amsterdam cost?
Budget €350-400 per person for 2 nights: it's the priciest of the top picks, with stays and drinks costing more than elsewhere. A private boat runs around €30-45 per person, a pub crawl €25-30. Book very early, good stays go fast.
When to go and practical info
April to September for canals and terraces. King's Day (27 April) is a massive party but packed and pricey. Currency: the euro. Get around on foot or by bike, watch the cycle lanes. Book boats and tables ahead.
