At King’s Day 2021, we’ll be staying in pre-erected twin-share tents with mattresses and sleeping bags and we’ll be fuelling our bodies with hearty breakfasts daily. The King’s Day celebrations take place across the entire city, with the streets, parks and canals and awash in the colour orange.
Kings Day, let’s do it Dutch style
Stoke Travel does it Dutch in 2021 when we hit up the famous streets, canals and parks of Amsterdam for the Netherland’s biggest party of the year, King’s Day. The night of April 26, the celebrations kick off with a massive party in the city with live music playing in all the main squares. The music ends around 11pm and we’d recommend resting up for tomorrow as it’s a huge day of celebration. The usually liberal and loose Dutchies go wild celebrating the King’s birthday with DJs and bands in the streets, a city-wide flea market with food and drink stalls will keep you fed and hydrated while the canals are jammed with boats and barges full of revellers ready to party. Make sure to reserve your spot on the Stoke Travel King’s Day party boat, add on now for €50 when checking out.
Staying with Stoke Travel for King’s Day Festival
We’re Europe’s festival specialists, so King’s Day was a no-brainer for us. We’ll make sure that you’re comfortable and that there’s plenty of fun going around with like-minded travellers from all over the world. We’ll feed you a cooked breakfast every morning that you stay with us, then guide you into the party madness of Amsterdam.
Visit the famous Amsterdam with Stoke Travel
This city is one of the world’s greats, and has to be high on the bucket list for any traveller with hedonistic tendencies. The historic city is covered with canals, narrow cobbled streets, Dutch people on bikes, and plenty of parks. Despite all this, most tourists come for the more exciting attractions such as the red light district and the coffee shops that rather than selling coffee, sell the best weed from around the world that you can smoke in a comfortable and safe environment.
When you’re staying with Stoke in Amsterdam you can add canal boat parties to your stay, bike tours through the city, a visit to the Anne Frank museum or an Amsterdam pub crawl. Oh, and if you want a real Amsterdam experience, consider checking out one of the infamous sex shows, that are more hilarious than they are erotic. Amsterdam is Stoke’s kind of town, so why not come and see it with us!
