Amsterdam. A city of beauty, a city of wonder, a city that never sleeps. With all of those qualities, is it any wonder that an Amsterdam Hen Do is one of the most popular European hen weekends that you can arrange?
It really is one of the premier locations for you to visit and enjoy, no matter what you want your hen do to contain. Some destinations specialise in certain types of weekends, but Amsterdam can be absolutely anything you want it to be – from a chilled cultural break to a wild party weekend. It should be the top of any possible list of hen do destinations.
To make planning effortless, we have designed exclusive packages that combine accommodation with the city's best activities.

This classic package is perfect for seeing the sights in style. It includes 2 nights central accommodation, a relaxing Canal Cruise to soak up the atmosphere, and a Guided Bar Crawl to introduce you to the famous nightlife. It’s the perfect balance of sightseeing and partying.

There are so many wonderful places to stay throughout the city depending on what sort of atmosphere you’d like to enjoy. The city is divided into neighbourhoods, each with its own vibe.
We recommend staying in the Old Centre to be close to the main sights, or Leidseplein to be in the heart of the bar district. Our packages typically use centrally located Hostels (perfect for budgets and groups) or 3-Star Hotels. For a unique experience, we can even arrange for you to sleep on a Botel (a floating hotel on the river)!
Given the city’s party-hard reputation, you know the nights out will be amazing. But what about the daytimes? We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the world-famous Prosecco Bike. You’ll pedal a multi-person bike around the city while sipping sparkling wine – it's absolutely one of the most popular activities for a hen do!
There are plenty of other ways to see the city as well. You can cruise through the famous canals on a Private Boat, or if you are feeling energetic, arrange a cycle tour.
For something unique to Amsterdam, why not pose for a Red Light Photoshoot? Everyone knows about the full-length windows in the Red Light District; wouldn’t it be fun to have professional photos of yourselves posing in a mock-up one?
Other popular options include Cocktail Making, Dance Classes, and the Magic Mike Show. If you want a laugh, check out the Wonky Bonk (Nude Life Drawing) for a cheeky afternoon activity.
Nightlife is a highlight of an Amsterdam Hen Do. The city is filled with high-energy bars and clubs.
The Red Light District (De Wallen): This is the most famous area. It’s gritty, historic, and packed with small pubs, karaoke bars, and curious sights. It’s essential for a visit, even if just for the novelty!
Leidseplein & Rembrandtplein: These are the main "party squares". Here you will find large nightclubs, grand cafes, and hundreds of tourists looking for a good time. It’s a bit more polished than the Red Light District and perfect for dancing until dawn.
We know it can be tough going out in a strange city. Our Guided Bar Crawl is a godsend, especially on your first night. The guides know exactly where to go for the most fun and can help you navigate the busy streets.

One of the reasons for the immense popularity of an Amsterdam Hen Do is convenience. It is one of the easiest European destinations to get to, served by over twenty airports in the UK. Flights are short (often under an hour from London) and reasonably priced.
Once there, the city offers excellent public transport. Trams, buses, and metros are easy to use. But the best way to get around? On a bike or a boat, of course!
