Netherlands: Hen Destination

Think of a hen party in the Netherlands and you think of Amsterdam. There is an abundance of nightlife for a hen celebration in the Netherlands and it is so easy to fly there for a short break from the UK. Not only that, but Amsterdam has such a vast array of different things to offer. Many tour companies provide all-in packages for hen parties, which will include a variety of activities for the whole party during a day. For example, you and your friends may want to spend the day on a guided tour of Amsterdam's red light district, visiting cocktail bars and visiting a pole dancing club to learn the secrets of the art from professionals, or going behind the scenes in one of the famous “shop windows” in the red light district.

You can even be made up to look the part and have your photograph taken as a souvenir for your future husband! (A guided tour like this, lasting 5 hours,would cost you about £85 each). If that's not to your taste, then you and your friends can learn conjuring tricks, or how to paint clogs.

In fact, in Amsterdam, anything goes! Of course there are the many cultural and artistic attractions that Amsterdam has to offer too, as well as bars, venues for live music and night clubs for all night dancing, which are all within easy reach in the city. You will find no shortage of accommodation in Amsterdam, with plenty of hotels, apartments and guest houses to suit most budgets. You may also want to go shopping of course, and Amsterdam has plenty of shops to cater for even the most fervent shopaholics!
