Amsterdam: King's Day Pub Crawl with VIP Club Entry

Join the city-wide celebration in orange and experience Amsterdam's most iconic national holiday from the inside out.


The Amsterdam King's Day Pub Crawl is a guided four-hour bar-hopping experience through the heart of the city's wildest annual street party, with VIP entry to a closing nightclub included. Local guides lead the route, choosing venues where the energy, music, and atmosphere are at their peak throughout the day and into the evening.

King's Day, held each year on April 27th, turns Amsterdam's streets, canals, and squares into one continuous open-air celebration. The entire city dresses in orange, music spills from every doorway, and the boundary between local and visitor dissolves almost entirely.

This crawl is designed to move through that atmosphere with purpose, visiting bars that capture different sides of the celebration. From lively neighborhood pubs to canal-side terraces, each stop offers a distinct experience within the broader festival.

As evening arrives, the energy concentrates indoors. The crawl concludes with VIP entry to a club where live DJs and dance floors carry the celebration well past midnight for those who want to extend the night.

How the Crawl Unfolds

1
Meeting Point and Kick-Off

The group assembles at a central Amsterdam location where guides introduce themselves and set the tone for the evening. Orange dress code is encouraged and participants are briefed on the night's route.

2
First Bar Stop

The crawl begins at a bar in the thick of the King's Day street celebrations. Drinks flow and the atmosphere is already charged with music, crowds, and festive energy from the surrounding streets.

3
Second and Third Venues

The group moves through two more carefully selected bars, each with its own character and crowd. Guides keep the group together and ensure everyone is settled before moving on.

4
Canal District Stretch

The route passes through Amsterdam's canal belt, where the outdoor celebration reaches its peak. Street performers, floating stages, and spontaneous gatherings make this segment memorable beyond the bars themselves.

5
Final Bar Before Club

A last pre-club stop brings the group together before the main event. This venue typically features a dance floor or live DJ set, serving as a natural bridge between the crawl and the club.

6
VIP Club Entry

The crawl concludes with VIP access to one of Amsterdam's clubs, where the night continues with professional DJs and a full dance floor. Participants are free to stay as long as they wish after entry.
