It’s a little-known fact that the Dutch name “Amsterdam” is derived from the ancient Greek for “Amster (“party”) and “dam” (“town”). Okay, we made that part up but the fact does remain that Amsterdam is the world’s premiere party town supreme for a number of reasons. The million-plus residents of urban and suburban regions of Amsterdam enjoy an affluent and laid-back lifestyle that is the envy of many Westerners, including their casual and tolerant attitudes about sex, beer and pot, some of our readers’ favorite things.

Indeed, long before the ongoing heated debates over merits of medical and recreational marijuana in the United States and elsewhere ever began, the enlightened lawmakers in Holland recognized the futility of waging a billion-dollar war against drugs by applying the harm reduction model and legalizing the possession and use of cannabis products.

In other words, Amsterdam is eagerly awaiting your bachelor party, and you can’t find a better destination if you and your friends appreciate colorful history, European culture at its best as well as beautiful architecture and women – not to mention the world-class cannabis products imported from exotic places that is available everywhere at rock-bottom prices. If this all sounds too good to be true, well, it is in a way because it takes awhile to fly there and it’s not cheap (but it is reasonable) as we discuss below.

How to Get There

Unless you and your friends live in the United Kingdom or Western Europe, you’re only real viable option for traveling to Amsterdam is flying. Fortunately, Amsterdam has a world-class airport that is served by several airlines from the United States as noted below.

Airport

Based on a 4-day stay (all weekdays), round-trip tickets per person from New York’s La Guardia International Airport to Amsterdam’s Schipol International Airport (airport code:  AMS) range from $1,555 on Westjet to $3,330 on Air Canada. Flights require about 18 hours each way, but you and your bachelor party buddies will find that the time and cost involved in getting to Amsterdam is more than repaid in terms of excitement + fun / time + money. Following your arrival at Schipol, you’ll need to get around the city and its suburbs as described below.

Getting Around

Rental Cars

Many Americans may be pleasantly surprised at just how easy it is to get around a world capital city such as Amsterdam. Besides an extensive public railway and bus network, rental cars are available through Rentalcars.com range from just $45 per day (for a Ford Ka) to $187 for large SUVs and chauffeured limousines and party buses are also widely available. Many of the street signs are different in Europe, though, so brush up on your signage if you plan on renting a car, especially the critically important sign shown below that you’ll see everywhere which means “Do not enter” (and they mean it!):

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/77/Zeichen_267_-_Verbot_der_Einfahrt%2C_StVO_1970.svg/601px-Zeichen_267_-_Verbot_der_Einfahrt%2C_StVO_1970.svg.png

Important note: If you decide to rent a car or SUV for your Amsterdam bachelor party, keep in mind that while the Dutch have a high tolerance for many indulgences, they have an extremely low tolerance for drunk driving. In fact, the legal blood-alcohol limits in Holland are so low that you’d be well advised to assign a designated driver every day (take turns) or avail yourselves of the luxury limousine services that are widely available as noted below.

Limousines

If you want to get around Amsterdam in style, several limousine companies are available that provide service direct from the airport to your hotel as well as wherever else you and your bachelor party buddies want to visit. Limousine companies such as Blacklane offer all-inclusive prices (i.e., all tolls, gratuities, taxes and fees) that even allow for a full hour of free waiting time at the Schipol Airport and 15 minutes of free waiting time for all other local pickups points. Other limousine companies such as Mydriver also feature all-inclusive prices as well as mobile apps that allow you to easily reserve and pay for your limousine.

Party Bus

While limousines have their benefits, what better way for you and your bachelor party guests to enjoy this world-class city than with world-class transportation? Not surprisingly, Amsterdam also features several luxury party bus rental services, including the highly rated Amsterdam Fire Truck Party Bus which specializes in bachelor parties and offers a one-hour tour of the city, four beers or glasses of wine per guest, superior sound and lighting and dancing pole with prices beginning at just $300. In addition, you can add a number of options to your bachelor party package such as a stripper (about $250) and a “sexy” female firefighter ($310). The fire truck party bus seats eight guests (or seven guests and a stripper).

Boat Rentals

Besides having more than 60 miles of beautiful canals running through the city (three times as many as Venice), Amsterdam is also a coastal capital of course and private boat rentals are available for you and your bachelor party friends to enjoy the spectacular views of Amsterdam and its environs from a nautical perspective. You can also rent a party boat from the aptly named Amsterdam Party Boat that specializes in bachelor parties.

Things to Do

With so much to see and do during your Amsterdam bachelor party, you may have a difficult time deciding what to do during the days and for your nightlife activities, but we can help you fine-tune your choices using the ideas noted below.

Daytime Activity Ideas

Your daytime activities will depend in large part on your transportation choice. If you’ve rented a car or SUV, limousine or party bus, you can participate in virtually any of the dozens of daytime activities available in Amsterdam. If you don’t rent a car or SUV, limousine or party bus, you can still tour more than 50 museums for free (including the Van Gogh Museum, the NEMO Science Museum and the Amsterdam Tulip Museum) and free transportation on the city’s state-of-the-art GVB network using the “I amsterdam City Card” for the duration of your bachelor party stay.

Regardless of your mode of transportation, there are some must-do daytime activities that you and your bachelor party buddies shouldn’t miss, including a tour of the city on the “Beer Bike.” This self-pedaled mobile bar bike accommodates between five and 17 partygoers and the tour lasts for an hour and a half. More importantly, the Beer Bike tour includes up to 20 liters of beer (about 56 12-ounce cans of beer – those Dutch know how to party!) so take plenty of pictures so you don’t forget the fun you had pedaling around this beautiful city drinking some of the finest suds in the universe.

If your energy levels are still up, you and your bachelor party buddies will have plenty of fun at the Amsterdam Karting Experience where you can race your bachelor party friends for two or three 10-minute heats with the winner receiving a bottle of champagne and a trophy. If you’re in the mood for some more action, try the Archery Tag Battle which is similar to paintball or laser tag only you get to use real archery equipment and shoot real (but safe) arrows at your friends for an hour and a half! Where else but Amsterdam, huh? All safety gear and specially equipped bows and arrows are included in the price as well as a bottle of beer, glass of wine or a soft drink.

Other don’t miss daytime activities in Amsterdam include a visit to Leidseplein Square or a 7-hour canal tour of the city that also features a free VIP tour of the Van Gogh Museum and lunch at the Rijskmuseum. A shorter and-a-half hour canal-based all-inclusive beer and pizza cruise of the city is also available that features four bottles of Heineken for each guest, free Nibble’s crackers for munchies, pizza, and an English-speaking captain/guide. In addition, don’t miss out on the Amsterdam Party Pub Crawl through great bars, pubs and clubs in the heart of the city’s world-famous Red Light district. This 4-hour pub crawl features five different venues and includes unlimited vodka shots, free admission to all venues, and professional guides. If you still have any stamina left over after a day in Amsterdam, there is even more to do at night including those activities noted below.

Nightlife Activity Ideas

Besides the obvious strip and sex clubs discussed further below, there are plenty of other things to enjoy at night in this beautiful city. For instance, with prices starting at just US$44 per person, you’ll get a lot of bang for your Euro on a 2-hour guided Amsterdam Evening Canal Cruise that includes unlimited wine, beer, soft drinks and a platter of Dutch cheese and nuts. Other canal-based tours include three free drinks on the one-hour tour offered by “Icebar Xtracold Cruise” where the bar and even your glass are made from ice.

Bars

With more than 1,500 bars, Amsterdam has something to satisfy everyone’s budget and tastes.
