Why Amsterdam is a Great Choice for a Stag Do

The news that one of your best mates or a family member is getting married calls for a celebration, and in the UK, a stag weekend is the perfect way to give them a proper send-off before they tie the knot. As the best man, one of your top priorities will be deciding where to hold the stag do. At Infinity Weekends, we want to make that choice easier by showing you why an Amsterdam stag do should be high on your list of options.

Amsterdam, the home of Heineken and Amstel, boasts an abundance of watering holes to quench your thirst and fuel an unforgettable pub crawl. While the city may be infamous for other entertainments, it’s packed with bars to ensure you can craft an epic night out. The Dutch are no strangers to drinking culture, so you won’t struggle to find a pint. You can also enhance your experience with a brewery tour or a Dutch beer-tasting session for a more structured boozing adventure!

As one of the world’s top tourist destinations, Amsterdam offers a wide range of accommodation options. Whether you're looking for budget-friendly hostels or top-tier hotels, the city has it all. Since stag and hen parties often come with large groups, we recommend booking well in advance. Alternatively, you can provide suggestions for nearby hotels and hostels so everyone in the group can book their own preferred option.

When it comes to travel, Amsterdam’s proximity to the UK makes it one of the easiest European destinations for a stag weekend. With short flights from anywhere in the UK, you’ll spend less time travelling and more time enjoying the city. Unlike destinations such as Krakow, Budapest, or Prague, Amsterdam allows you to maximise your time abroad, ensuring spirits remain high from the get-go. And with Infinity Weekends providing airport transfers, you’ll be whisked straight from Schiphol Airport to your accommodation, hassle-free.

Football fans will be thrilled by the chance to catch a live Ajax match. As the Netherlands' most successful football club, Ajax has a rich history and a huge following worldwide. Getting tickets for a home game is an ideal crowd-pleaser for your stag party. If your visit doesn’t coincide with a match, you can still take a tour of their iconic stadium and soak up the club’s heritage.

Amsterdam is known for its music festivals, and if you visit during the right time of year, you might find yourself at a lively outdoor party. For a true taste of Amsterdam, consider kicking off your weekend with a Heineken brewery tour. You’ll see how the famous lager is made and sample the freshest pints straight from the source – a must-do experience for any beer lover.
