Bachelorette in Netherlands

Flower photo

Haarlem sits in the heart of the bulb region and flowers are everywhere. Buy a bunch of flowers or find a flower stall at the market and take a cheerful group photo where everyone holds a flower or wears one in their hair.

Grote Markt cheers

The Grote Markt is famous for its lively terraces, also packed with Groningen students. Find a cosy terrace, order something festive and take a photo of the official toast. To the guest of honour!

Haarlem local wanted

Locals say Haarlemmers speak the most beautiful Dutch in the country. Convince a random Haarlemmer to share one fun fact about the city, and take a photo with your impromptu city guide.

Hague local wanted

Convince a random local (a Hagenaar or Hagenees) to share one fun or unknown fact about the city. Take a photo with your impromptu city guide and remember the fact.

Hidden courtyard

Haarlem has dozens of hidden almshouse courtyards (hofjes) with green inner gardens. Find one (an open gate, a sign saying "hofje") and take a quiet group photo inside. Mind your volume, people still live there.

High above the city

Find a high vantage point in Groningen, think the rooftop terrace of the Forum, an elevated bridge or a stepped gable to lean against. Take a group photo with the city or a canal visible far below you.

Hofvijver pose

The Hofvijver pond with the Binnenhof reflected in it is one of the iconic images of the Netherlands. Find a good spot at the water and take a polished group photo with the Mauritshuis tower or the Binnenhof facades in frame.

Hollandse Nieuwe

The Scheveningen coast calls for a real Dutch herring or a portion of kibbeling. Buy a fish, take a bite (do you dare to eat it the proper Dutch way, holding it by the tail?) and take a photo of the whole team in action.

Hout picnic for the guest of honour

In the Haarlemmerhout the guest of honour can take a break. Build a living throne with the team (a bench or linked hands) and place them in the middle. Take the most regal photo of the day under the trees.

Human pyramid on De Brink

The Brink is large enough for a real stunt. Build a human pyramid with the whole team in the middle of the square and take a photo. Safety first, beauty second.

IJssel quay glamour

The IJsselkade offers the most beautiful view of the river and the opposite bank. Take a group photo with the whole team posing on the quay, with the IJssel clearly in frame.

Industrial chic

Strijp-S is design, brick and steel canopies. Take a group photo with a real factory hall or a giant letter "S" behind you, and pose as if you run a design studio.

Insider tip from a shopkeeper

Walk into a random shop and ask the shopkeeper for their absolute favourite spot in town. Take a photo with them in it.

Key City coronation

Today the guest of honour is king or queen of the Key City. Crown them with a sash, tiara or other festive accessory and take a photo of the official coronation, ideally in front of a Leiden backdrop like a canal, courtyard or stately gable.

Kick-off in Mestreech

The party starts! Find a true Maastricht spot (a square, a small bridge, a cosy alley) and take a group photo where everyone jumps in the air at the same time with the guest of honour in the middle. Everyone off the ground, otherwise it does not count.

Kick-off in the City of Light

The party starts! Find a true Eindhoven spot (a terrace, a design facade, the 18 Septemberplein) and take a group photo where everyone jumps in the air at the same time with the guest of honour in the middle. Everyone off the ground, otherwise it does not count.

Kick-off in the Dom city

The party starts! Pick a Utrecht spot of choice (a canal, a square, a wharf) and take a group photo where everyone jumps in the air at the same time with the guest of honour in the middle. Everyone off the ground in one shot, otherwise it does not count.

Kick-off in the flower city

The party starts! Find a true Haarlem spot (a canal, a courtyard, a bridge over the Spaarne) and take a group photo where everyone jumps in the air at the same time with the guest of honour in the middle. Everyone off the ground, otherwise it does not count.

Kick-off in the Key City

The party starts! Find a true Leiden spot (a canal, a small bridge, a courtyard) and take a group photo where everyone jumps in the air at the same time with the guest of honour in the middle. Everyone off the ground, otherwise it does not count.

Kick-off in the royal city

The party starts! Find a typical Hague backdrop (a canal, a stately building, the Plein square) and take a group photo where everyone jumps in the air at the same time with the guest of honour in the middle. Everyone off the ground, otherwise it does not count.

Kick-off with the Stadjers

The party starts! Find a true Groningen spot (a square, a bridge over a canal, a street in the old town) and take a group photo where everyone jumps in the air at the same time with the guest of honour in the middle. Everyone off the ground, otherwise it does not count.

Korenbeurs pose

The Korenbeurs on the Vismarkt has one of the most beautiful facades in town. Take a group photo with the imposing columns behind you and the whole team in frame.

Leiden local wanted

Convince a random Leiden local or student to share one fun fact or hidden spot in the city. Take a photo with your impromptu city guide and remember the tip, you might go there next.

Lights pose

City of Light obliges. Find a striking light object in the city (a neon sign, a lamp facade, a light artwork) and take a group photo with the light clearly in frame. Bonus if everyone has a sparkle in their eyes.
