King's Night Pub Crawl with VIP Club Entry

Celebrate the eve of King's Day with a guided tour through Amsterdam's finest bars and clubs


The Amsterdam King's Night Pub Crawl is a guided evening adventure through the city's most celebrated bars, capped off with VIP entry to one of Amsterdam's top clubs. This four-hour event places participants directly inside the city's most spirited annual celebration.

King's Night transforms Amsterdam into a street-level festival, with thousands of residents and visitors dressed in orange, filling every canal-side bar and public square with music and energy. Ludwig's Original Pub Crawl channels this atmosphere into a curated route that balances lively Dutch pubs, cocktail bars, and hidden neighborhood spots.

A local guide leads the group through each venue, managing exclusive drink deals and keeping the pace social and accessible. The route is designed to give participants a genuine sense of the city's nightlife geography rather than a tourist-facing circuit.

The evening concludes with VIP club entry, bypassing standard queues and providing access to one of the city's recognized nightlife venues. The format suits solo travelers, couples, and groups looking to meet others in a structured but relaxed setting.
