The 12 most fun bachelorette party activities in Amsterdam

1. Painting in the dark

Let’s start with the classic, but with a twist. Amsterdam’s most fun bachelorette party idea isn’t just painting… it’s painting in the dark. Neon lights, glowing paint, and a few glasses of wine later, and suddenly even the least artistic friend of the group feels like Picasso (or at least thinks she is).

This 2-hour experience contains of your favourite music (yes, you can connect your own phone), drinks on the house (you are reading that correctly), friendly art instructors and a lot of fun.

And as the icing on the cake, everyone will go home with a lasting memory of the bachelorette party! Expect laughter, paint splatters, and the kind of chaotic fun that makes perfect photos.

2. Burlesque workshop

Turn up the glamour and confidence with a burlesque class led by a pro dancer. You’ll learn how to strut, tease, and twirl a feather boa like a total queen. It’s empowering, hilarious, and the ultimate confidence boost before a night out. Bonus: matching red lipstick is practically required.

3. Canal silent disco cruise

Take over Amsterdam’s canals, silently (New rules forbid playing music on the city's waters unfortunately). With wireless headphones, a private boat, and your own playlist, this becomes a floating party through the heart of the city. Sip prosecco, sing off-key, and wave at tourists wondering why you’re all grooving in silence. It’s pure magic (and surprisingly classy chaos).

City games

With City Adventures, you can turn any location into the setting for an unforgettable adventure. Solve clues, complete challenges and work together as a team, or split into smaller groups and compete against each other.

Their games are perfect for bachelor and bachelorette parties, with The Hunt as one of our absolute favourites. Fast-paced, competitive and full of hilarious moments, it is guaranteed to get everyone involved.

5. Photoshoot in Jordaan

Dress up in vintage outfits and hit the charming streets of the Jordaan for a group photo session. A local photographer captures you laughing, twirling, and pretending to be models from a 1960s magazine. Champagne included, obviously.

And wait, you asked if there is time for a catwalk in front of Cafe De Blaffende Vis. I think you know the answer already – this bachelorette party activity is for you!

6. Wine & cheese picnic in Vondelpark

Keep it chill with the most Dutch luxury of all: Wine, cheese, and sunshine. Pack a basket (or get one delivered), set up a cute picnic spot, and enjoy people-watching while sipping rosé. Add a Polaroid camera for instant memories.

And of course, the park is everyone's to use, so hang that decoration, bring those balloons and play that music. Make it a hen do like in the movies!

7. Rooftop hot tub session

This bachelorette activity can be equally relaxing, or wild. Like a hot tub really.

End the day (or start the night) with bubbles in every sense. Several Amsterdam hotels and spas offer rooftop jacuzzis with city views. Buy a bottle of prosecco, your favourite playlist, and toast to the bride-to-be with the skyline glowing behind you.

8. Pole dancing workshop

Forget everything you think you know about pole dancing, this isn’t just about spinning, it’s about strength, confidence, and a whole lot of laughter. With a pro instructor guiding you through fun routines (and the occasional dramatic hair flip), this class guarantees sore muscles and even bigger smiles.

Plus you give the bride the perfect inspiration for her ‘first dance' on the most important day of her life. Bonus points for whoever nails the upside-down pose.

9. Lingerie styling & confidence session

For something empowering (and a bit spicy), book a lingerie styling experience with a local stylist. You’ll learn how to pick the right fits, discover confidence-boosting styles, and maybe even surprise the bride with a cheeky gift. It’s flirty, body-positive, and perfect for a girls’ day out.

10. Candle making & rosé afternoon

Combine creativity and calm with a candle-making workshop in one of many cozy Amsterdam studios. Sip rosé while blending scents, decorating your jar, and laughing about who’s the “accidentally set-the-wick-wrong” friend.

It is both relaxing as well as bonding, making it the perfect activity before dinner / drinks.

11. Clay & Sip

If your group likes to get a little messy (in a wholesome way), Clay & Sip is the creative bachelorette party in Amsterdam you didn’t know you needed. Roll, shape, laugh, and maybe compete over who can make the most questionable sculpture (you have a dirty mind!) all while sipping wine (on the house!) and vibing to your favourite playlist.

After the clay dries, you paint your masterpiece and take it home as the world’s most chaotic wedding keepsake.

12. Private film challenge in De Pijp

Split into teams, grab your phones, and spend two hours creating your own mini rom-com or music video around the streets of De Pijp. All centered around 1 thing – the bride. End the day watching your “masterpieces” on a big screen with snacks and drinks. It’s creative chaos and comedy gold, and the videos make the best wedding-weekend flashbacks.
