- A digital discouragement campaign targeting young British men is being pushed out by the Dutch city's council.
It comes as part of efforts to clean up Amsterdam's raunchy reputation as Europe's most liberal party capital.
The online ads, highlighting the risks associated with the excessive use of drugs and booze, show young men staggering in the street handcuffed by police, finger-printed and having their mugshots taken.

As a British person I feel so much shame when I go abroad and see the way some of us behave, I completely understand why Amsterdam are doing this.
That is 100% correct. They are often rude, arrogant and aggressive. The older British folks are better behaved.
What is the female reporter so smiley about?
So lets start a racist and sexist campaign against a certain group, that'll show them that you are better... man you have a loose grip on reality. Because we all know that those are the only tourists going to amsterdam and causing issues. It is just like when I was in asia, they were very against the foreign soldiers causing problems and it would hit the news all the time but the native population had almost 10x the number of incidents in the areas they were concerned about and nothing was ever said.
She probaly went to one off the sex shops, and can’t wait to use the 12 inch black mamba she purchased earlier that morning
As long as you don’t get drunk and act like a fool in the streets after a football game you’re cool 👍
I don't think it says all young British men should stay away. It just says that if you want to go there solely for the purpose of getting wasted and ending up in trouble, then don't bother. Which is absolutely fine and should be applauded.
Of course it does 😂
They are known to create havoc everywhere they go.
@Ricky bombastic Yeah I meant what he/she said was right. My bad. Didn't say clearly.
@@stiofanmcareavey1697 British men? Yes they do. They love blaming foreigners ( especially non white one) when their cities get destroyed after a football games when videos shows its clearly them. They blamed french people for not allowing them to see a game in france but they were being rowdy and violent before the game. Then when it didnt work with us and we didnt take the blame. They went to blame arabs, indian and black french people when again they are hundrends of videos showing the british fan being violent toward security and the french police officer . Like yes, they is a huge group of black,indian and arabs albino in britain and france. Definitely. Most asian have met told me, british are seen badly in their country because of how they act there.
What else are the British good at apart from causing mayhem destruction and chaos wherever they go in all aspects
To stop the idiotic behaviour abroad, we need to stop it here first. We as a nation of a pubs and clubs need tighter restrictions on when to stop serving someone and harsher punishments for drunk and disorderly behaviour. Law actually states that establishments cannot sell alcohol to someone drunk, but nowhere enforces it until the person is borderline unconscious.
Your country breeds degeneracy
I am Obama
@@victorpapillon1487 no, you are mentally ill
Nice to see someone who takes responsibility and doesn't just apportion blame....respect to you
problem is the powers at be don't care. They making money off us in so many ways. The fact a drug which causes so much grief, illness and torment has been so widespreadly made legal, tells you something but its made out to be so acceptable and ok. You're right, there is no accountability.
This reminds me of when I was a young man in the 1980s living in Greece, surviving by picking oranges. After work I'd hang out with people from all over Europe, from Spain, Portugal, Italy, Austria, Norway, Sweden, France and also Australians, South Africans, South Americans and more. We'd hang out in restaurants in the evenings, and we of course enjoyed some beers, wine and brandy.
It didn't take long to learn that if you sat next to some young Brits, they'd drink for the first hour, then get loud during the next hour, then get completely abnoxious soon after and often fist fights would break out. So we'd move to another restaurant as soon as they showed up.
It was only the Brits. I met so many good people from all over, we never behaved that bad. And I never understood how beating each other up could be a completely normal thing.
Not all Brits were that aggressive, but they'd make up the biggest group of backpackers who ran into trouble with the police by far.
@@markhirstwood4190 oh boy 🙄
We’re a violent race, that’s why we took over half the world
I'm a British man who lives in Utrecht, a city nearby Amsterdam. When I come back after visiting family, I cannot understate the cringe and shame I feel at the behaviour of some of my own countrymen just in the bloody airport. It's a joke. They stink of beer, they're drunk, they're loud and abusive, and some are even racist. It's disgusting.
these are tourists or locals?? human behavior crashed into the ground the minute the queen died.
I'm from Iran I wish my people where like that tbh. You should be proud!

@@mynameisGail I've literally seen and heard it with my own eyes, and had to intervene on a black woman's behalf because some drunk scouser was badmouthing her about her hijab.
I’m British and I agree. When you go abroad, treat a country with respect
Well, I think the problem here is at what point is it discrimination. We can all agree that terrorism is bad for example, and Muslims are the biggest demographic doing terrorism in Europe. So does that justify that government social awareness anti-terrorism campaigns be stationed outside Mosques. If the government is specifically targeting Muslims Muslims would feel targeted and discriminated against even though terrorism have a strong correlation with their demographic. Now we can do the same analogy to British men here
Yes ! Like all the murderers and rapists who come to my country, England 🤭😆🥱
@Mohamed Ben Hamida as someone having grown up near Amsterdam, I fully support this. They even piss on the street against people's houses and stuff. Normal British people are welcome but if you want to get wasted, do it in your own city. If you think such behaviour is not accepted in your city, well, why would it be okay to do it in a foreign city then? So I support this.
Have to say as a person from US and born in Russia, I have to say countrymen from both off countries I lived in, have both acted this way too and I absolutely hate it.
@@mohamedbenhamida3748 🥥
And yet the UK isn't allowed to tell immigrants to stay away.
Can you imagine the outrage from the ECHR if we did.
It’s this sense of being so disassociated with other British men, which led me to move abroad to Japan. Here, people live a reserved and respectful life, and I feel much more at home in this society.
I lived in Amsterdam back in the 70’s/80’s and even back then I felt ashamed at the behaviour of some of those young men from my country (UK) their behaviour was disrespectful and inappropriate. A row of men mooning outside a ‘pub’ as the trams rolled by! If you visit or even live in another country I think being respectful and having good manners should always be at the fore. Heel goed gedaan Amsterdam!
It’s a cesspit full of gays where Muslim extremists knife people in the street.
Mooning, that's funny 😄
Women also do these things. You are a sexist.
@@nicholasforrester8587 i think guy in ad can be handled by sex 😂😂
That-s because nobody beats the crap out of the them, right then and there, as I would if I was in charge of security, and London can then say whatever the hell they want afterwards
I'm born in Amsterdam and I think it's great that they are finally listening to us about the bad behaviours of the tourists that come to our country but it's not only British people that are behaving badly it's all the tourists it's the same way as we are going to any other countries and we behave badly over there respect our country same way as we respect any other countries
F Holland. Scum bags
Well, of you offer the kind of naughty experiences some people crave don't be surprised if people come by.
I'm in canada and I've never been to Amsterdam but I can tell you they market it as a giant drug market brothel, so I'm not surprised people go there to act wild !
So true. There are bad tourists that come from every country. Good and bad in all races simple as that
@@izzydeadyet7336They literally have flights to Amsterdam from places like Glasgow and Birmingham for less than £30. Everyone and their dog knows the reputation Amsterdam's got.
If Amsterdam wants less trashy tourists, they should stop advertising to such reserved, prudish and anti-drug markets such as the UK, Norway, Russia, Poland etc.
I was living in Prague when the pubs in the centre starting closing their doors to groups of young British and Irish men. They'd come in, order one round of drinks fairly early on a Friday, destroy the place (tables and chairs thrown around, breaking bottles behind the bar) and the publican would have to close early on a busy weekend and remain close for repairs. The men would walk away for the most part.
City after city is doing the same, and these people are having an effect on the rest of us, we're all tarred with the same brush.
All the memories I have from Amsterdam still serve me well to this day.
British young people often behave very badly when abroad ( shouting, vomiting all over, fights etc…)
If you don’t fall into this category…no worries then.

yes it's only the English men that behave badly isn't it😂😂idiot.
Ok well you can enjoy less foreign revenue
It’s definitely not just a “stereotype” the amount of brits that come to Europe and behave like they’re at a football match is wild. I live in a place where a lot of British tourist go and always find it so annoying that they represent all of Britain, it’s almost as if you’re sending us all the bad ones lol I studied in England for a year and loved the people there but I do understand why Amsterdam would take these measures.
It's because the city has a reputation for sex and drugs. People go on vacation to party and will usually get bombed/drugged up. I'm not saying it's right but that's what happens. It happens in new orleans as well.
@@Bitchslapper316exactly. Drugs and prostitution legal = stag party heaven.
@Bitchslapper316 British people ruined Sunwaves, a romanian festival, visited by people from all across the world
@Bitchslapper316 also, the Dutch complained about the British specifically. Are the British the only tourists in Amsterdam?
That’s the same things they accuse Americans of….
I remember being in Amsterdam many years ago, and being so surprised by the behavior of British tourists. I could hear them blocks away, yelling and hollering.
Having fun?
I was visiting Prague with my family and I could not believe the utterly atrocious behavior I saw from the British tourists visiting. I assume they were mostly stag parties but the men were loud, crude, and obnoxious. When we'd tried to take photos they'd come up to my sister and cry to put their arms around her. Frankly those animals shouldn't be allowed outside the UK.
Omg they posed for a photo outrageous lock them up and throw away the key
As a Portuguese man, It's not uncommon to see tourists from Germany, France, Spain during the summer etc. The British on the other hand, are just unfortunately a bit too much. In my experience, British people (middle aged and elderly) are really good people and usually well behaved and cause little troubles. Unfortunately, their youngsters are the problem here. It's as if all the under 30s, teens and mid 30s adults just come here to get really, really drunk to the point that it's dangerous not only to their health but to others around them. They come here, not all of them, to get "a one night stand"and drunk with their mates. As you know, alcoholism breeds violence hence the issue with them not only in Portugal but in my neighbour, Spain. I think all of this stems from a few observations me and my Portuguese family have seen, they are not a family oriented people. They highly value independence from such a young age. This is both good and bad. On one side of the argument, being independent at a young age makes you grow and be more mature. However, there is a massive danger here. If your kids are taught to be sulf sufficient, independent at a young age with minimal supervision from your parents what do you get? Young adults, teens that think they know it all without the guidance of their parents. Studies have shown that the human mind is only fully developed until their mid twenties. The British parenting style is a problem. It's as if their friends are their family. They don't value family as much as we do. Family is the root of the problem. 🤔
@@Gioachino_Orsini i am completely fine and my mother has made me very self sufficient. the issue is Portugal and Netherlands gain a reputation in my country for drugs and so on and then mix that with most young adults here still having a school boy mentality, yeah you don't get the best behaviour. issue in my mind living here in the UK is that all they way through the education system they are treated like children while giving lip service in collage/uni that your adults but never enforcing any punishment.
but in all i am not surprised that Amsterdam gets garbage people because all i have heard about it is brothels and drugs so you attract what you get with that reputation.

Disgrace that some have to ruin it for us all. I am this demographic and I’ve never behaved in such a way. Disappointed and I hope it doesn’t affect me buying a property there soon
I've been to Amsterdam and loved it. The people are great. My advice to traveling anywhere: REPECT the people of the country you are in, be gracious to everyone you deal with and consider yourself lucky to be there. You are a guest, act like it!!
Shouldn’t you respect people all around the world
Yes, that is why I said to people traveling anywhere: respect the people of the country you are in. Your comment is what I meant if i didn't make it clear. Thanks.
Ye! Repect!
Always respect a country you visit, it’s rule number one. If you’re gracious rich rewards await you, invites to people’s homes, meals and parties with the local people, I know because it’s happened to me.
That is the best part of travel. I want to learn about the people, customs (so I don't inadvertently offend someone) and the food. Of course, the sights are fun, but it is truly all about the people and their world.
It’s not discrimination it’s years of experience
And it's not Britons that they want to stay away, rather "British".
It ís discrimination and it is so for a good reason. 😉
It absolutely is discrimination, we just need to talk longer about wether discrimination is a bad thing.
but when we do it...
I've got years of experience in Detroit with a certain kinda culture.
This is the best travel advertisement that Amsterdam ever came up with
I'm a British man who has been to Amsterdam and was respectful to people I met, my initial reaction to this was that it is a bit stupid but considering how some Brits are when they go abroad I understand it to be honest.
Having said all that if there is any discrimination against me for being a British male I'd be dumb to want to go back 😂
I'm British and I agree I was shocked and scared by some of the way men were behaving.
yes, stop coming to tenerife you shit everywhere, we don't know if it's dogs or british shits we step on at the sidewalks FUCKK OOFF
you close every output for going wild ..if you control people in every nook and corner of the world...everyone should behave themselves as long as they are alive...get ready for a choas in the future 😂a nasty one
BRITISH WOMEN ARE NOT BETTER 😅
It’s male behaviour
@@missandry2669 It isn't
I have to say, when I first visited Amsterdam, as a Canadian female I was shocked how British men were conducting themselves in the streets. I could totally understand why residents are fed up.
You can have a fantastic time in Amsterdam, the options are endless, but you dont have to go out of your way to be a tool while doing it.
Dont think Amsterdam has much of a chance of stopping it, but good luck!
Yea because its ibly the English that act that way 😂
@@user-do4gb3jd5f i'm a brit that went to amsterdam a year ago, the amount of loud british men there is obscene, it is definitely a british problem. Its embarrasing.
Yeah just British men eh, not women falling about all over the place, peeing all over the shop etc just men eh lol
Have you seen a typical British city centre at the weekend?
hopped up on masculinity, superiority complex about the rest of the world and no access to drugs in their own country = stupid pricks going to Amsterdam thinking it's a wild place "where you can do anything" and then they disrepect it because they have no intention of doing anything else on the mainland.
@ROLLINSTONE07 yea because no other country with there own people don't act like that it's just the British behave
This is literally why we aren't liked abroad and as I'm nothing like this, every time I say I'm English, I instantly get judged.

As a Dutch person now living in the UK I believe it's not as bad as it is made out to be but it's ruined by a small loud and in-your-face minority, most young British people I've met regardless of age are really friendly polite and well-mannered chaps. The issue arises when there are groups of young people and alcohol/drugs are involved but that goes for all young people not just the British. It's the British drinking culture that's an issue here I believe, so many people I speak with seem to go on holiday with the sole purpose of getting "smashed" for the duration of their stay.
I’m nearly 18, and can confirm that drinking culture in the UK is a big problem. When I was 15 I started seeing people attending parties getting blackout drunk and doing drugs, I have never chosen to do drugs but at a time I had gotten very drunk when going to parties just because like it’s what you did I guess? Did I enjoy it, not really. I feel like it’s just something people do to fit In unfortunately. I try to limit myself to just drinking on special occasions and in small amounts since over-drinking never does any good. I definitely think alcoholism is romanticised in a way like seriously by teens and uni students I felt at a time people would just meet up to drink and do nothing else (from observation) . But this only encourages Brits to go abroad and get smashed it’s from a young age and no one sticks to the 18 age law of drinking. When seeing how some people behave abroad to locals and getting incredibly drunk it makes me angry because how disrespectful can you be y’know? And it’s not just drinking some also just are very disrespectful in general and it’s sad there are some of us who are not like that.
heh, I respect your benevolence and you're right about the loud minority thing. But imagine someone who rented an apartment to a group of Brits and then had to renovate the whole thing. People get cautious, to say the least. And if you hear two or three similar stories, it's a done deal - "beware of Brits"
And places like Spain have fully encouraged and developed it and made money from it and then later complain.
Brada je leeft niet eens hier donder op met je leugens zolang je geen dealer bent is het een probleem kom terug anders ga ik je laten zien
Evven tho its looked at with "shame", American drinking culture being borderline nonexistent is prolly a good thing.
I’m from Malaysia where the majority of the population is spiritual or religious, but at the same time very accommodating to foreign tourists, especially those from the West. There was a controversial incident happened in 2015 involving European young tourists that upset the general public. A group of young adults in their early twenties were scaling Mt Kinabalu, the tallest peak in Malaysia. Like many other prominent peaks, Mt Kinabalu is considered a sacred resting place for ancestral spirits by various indigenous peoples. It’s also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a national park. After reaching the summit, these visitors decided that the best way to be the topic of discussion was by taking a photo of themselves naked. When advised against doing so by their local guide, they made a scene. Their behaviour quickly escalated into a national headline and public outrage ensued, culminating in a arrest warrant being issued for those involved. Some of them were apprehended and charged, others managed to escape. What I found most disturbing were the news article comments made by some people in the UK that basically ridiculed the extreme negative reactions shown by local people as being “irrational” and “driven by superstition”. They ignorantly unaware the fact that their explicitly disrespect for local customs and beliefs were the underlying causes for public anger.
As if the UK wouldn't publicly have had a fit, if tourists danced naked on the coffin of Queen Elizabeth. You're right, if you're going to disrespect and desecrate a friendly nation, you're going to have to suffer the consequences.
On the other foot, Britain is being invaded by thousands of young Muslim men from around the world claiming asylum and we don’t want them they are not conducive to British life. They must be stopped and if sinking dinghies works then let’s do it
Belief in ancestors and sacred mountains IS irrational and superstitious, and there’s nothing wrong with criticizing people for their primitive culture or beliefs; but public nudity is illegal in many countries, in many Western countries as well, so it’s no surprise that they got arrested. Doesn’t matter what the reasons for arrest were, sovereignty is sovereignty and it sounds like those dummies were warned that they were breaking laws in Malaysia and did it anyway. Serves them right to get in trouble. No sympathy for them.
@@baizhanghuaihai2298 Yes, so much of everyone's actions are 'irrational'. Though, as you said; I think if you go to a place with different laws, you should respect them, even if you don't agree with them. Let's not pretend we all don't have irrational beliefs that we stand by and insist others do.
@@Naptosis Nobody is pretending that; some of us just prefer our own foundational logico-epistemicological traditions to those of others. My western secular upbringing renders the belief in holy mountains fairly distasteful to me. But I know many people raised in the same culture who either love that idea as quaint, or actually believe it because they are looking for some meaning that our culture can’t provide them with. I’m open minded. If I saw a deva descend from a mountain in broad daylight and perform some miracles, I’d for sure be intrigued.
The Dutch. Clear and direct as always.
Zegt gekke Gerrit
They’re insanely arrogant though. In this case I’m with them on this, a lot of British people are just shit in general, some woman today in her 40s just slung her empty maccies cup over a wall into a bush, absolutely zero respect for her home town, proper bint.

Living in the UK for over 10 years, and there are so many lovely, warm, charming and kind people, yet when going to certain holiday destinations (Dam, Ibiza, Mallorca, etc.) - I see some of the most strange behaviour possible. So yes there is a reputation of brits in certain places 😂🙏🏻
Maybe an opportunity to grow for some as well 🙂
It's not just Brits in these party tourist destinations though, its people from all sorts of countries from Ireland to America.
These are simply party type destinations where binge drinking and boozing is part of the degenerate culture.
Then we try to blame it on quiet pot smokers and coffeeshops because thats the real agenda here, individuals who hate Amsterdams touristy PR image of coffeeshops, night life etc.
To be very fair to the Brits, many Dutch also misbehave greatly- but there’s a little bit more leeway for us because we are seen as well…the people. We have a sort of entitlement to act rowdy (or atleast it’s viewed that way) and while the Brit’s are kinda exceptional in their bad drinking behavior I think also that if a Brit and a Dutch were misbehaving the Brit has a bigger chance of being arrested or escorted away by “handhaving”. So there’s an element of discrimination.
This is kind of ironic - after years of Brits complaining about foreigners, now an European country makes a campaign complaining about them and basically telling them they are not welcomed XD
Big difference is we go abroad for holiday etc but the UK sadly welcomes third world trash hence why we complain a lot of smelly third world immigrants that come to the UK without a pot to piss in.
All countries have people who complain about foreigners. Just because our media only reports on it happening here doesn't mean that all other countries are beacons of tolerance in comparison.

I live in Blackpool. I was a hotelier and publican for 30 years in this town and I can assure you I've seen nearly all. Stags and Hens have declined over the years with active deterrents from the Council refusing night club and lapdancing licences and encouraging family friendly venues instead. Drunk, drugged, spewing naked men and women falling all over the resort is cringey and not missed in my opinion. Amsterdam are right to encourage new tourists, but how they're going to do that with the sex and drug culture it offers will be interesting to see.

edit: Just to be clear, the bride and groom do not cheat on each other during these nights out, in case that wasn't clear lol (but the bridesmaids & groomsmen basically go nuts)
See: the movies 'Bridesmaids' and 'The Hangover' for unrealistic Hollywood versions of this, or for the UK version, 'Gavin and Stacy' is a pretty realistic/somewhat grim hen and stag nights in the UK I think...
I used to work in Amsterdam hotels a long time ago (from 1999 untill 2006).
First goal when getting a young person from the UK on the phone was to find out if they were coming for a stag party.
If the answer was yes...sorry we are fully booked.
Experience learned that UK stag parties in Amsterdam did more financial damage to the hotel than it brought.
I doubt many Brits go on stag parties to Amsterdam nowadays. Not when Prague, Krakow and cities like that are MUCH cheaper. And still very easy to get to by plane. Unless they're rich/upper middle class or are sick and tired of Central Europe. Then I guess they'll go to Amsterdam for a stag. Rather, I think its the Brits going there on an actual short holiday, or as part of a larger mainland tour. But you worked there between 99-06. Definitely different times back then! Although Prague, I know, was already starting to get popular..
@@erikstorm8935 they don't have the same loose attutudes towards sex and weed though, and those are the main draws for these morons.
@Erik Storm, trust me there are enough British stag parties there. Amsterdam is nearby and has a certain rep. Guys coming there disrespect local women, because they are there for sex workers, think every woman is one, and think of sex workers lowly. They would be drunk, stoned or just shouting at women walking with their S.O. . The Bristish at Museumplein are usually fine, but in most of the innercity, especially close to the trainstation, there is a problem.
Similar stuff happens in the Irish towns of Kilkenny and Galway regarding stag and hen parties. Hotels have started refusing to take bookings as a result.
@@jgdooley2003 it's a good policy, I dunno why people go abroad for stag dos keep that shit in your hometown and trash your own gaff afterwards.

I'm British and I used to live in Amsterdam and it's absolutely embarrassing how badly so many British people behave there. There is a culture of being able to do whatever you want on holiday and behaving as if there are no consequences. This "what happens in..." culture that's really prevalent is part of the issue, although often holidays will be marketed on the basis of lots of drink and drugs so that may encourage this behaviour to some degree. It's not all Brits and it's not always Brits but it's common enough to definitely be an issue.

This is funny. I'm currently living in Amsterdam and the stereotype is sometimes true, but it's part of a campaign to discourage 'low-quality tourism' as they call it here. If your intentions are good, you should definitely come to Amsterdam! Most Dutch people (myself included) like our British neighbours very much. I've met a few British friends at a festival here, we meet up every year. And I think nobody likes loud and drunk groups of guys, no matter where they're from. Just enjoy the city and it's art and architecture, and definitely try a coffeeshop or enjoy a smoke in the park if you want to!

Used to go once or twice a year, every year. Not so much when they banned smoking tobacco indoors and when they went on to ban alcohol amd weed in the same place. Just ridiculous. I had many MANY happy visits there before all the bans. Never had any problems.

The Portuguese people were worried about their behaviour, and their fears were spot on! The English fans did almost the same things described on this video, and destroyed many bars in the central region of the city.

The worst part is that it isn't even only in Amsterdam. At least I can talk from my country. We genuinely, from the bottom of our hearts, love to have tourists here and especially the Brits, we love them and we are happy to make them feel welcomed. But with younger people, most times they end up feeling too welcomed. Every year, mostly during the summer which is when we get the most influx of tourists, something happens. Last year a group of kids went absolutely insane on a cafe which they weren't even at and started throwing chairs, tables and cobblestones at their windows from outside, broke everything, people who were just enjoying the fresh summer night having a beer or talking with their friends or families had to run away and I believe the owner and a client got hurt as well. And it was all for no reason at all. In that same summer another group of kids completely trashed the home they were renting, including peeing all over the walls, curtains and furnitures. The poor guy whose living depended on renting that place for holidays didn't know what to do after that because those men went back to the UK. So it's understandable people are getting tired of this behaviour and I think even British people get fed up with all this.
The phrase "even the British people" says it all. You can see the difference in protests by unions in Britain and France as a starting point in this narrative. In Britain the protests were policed in a non confrontational and measured way and mostly passed off without violence. In France there were cars and buildings burned and people injured and a very heavy handed police reaction.
In general the British people can be more tolerant of drunken behaviour which would not be tolerated in other countries and this leads its people into trouble when they go abroad.
I vividly recall being warned on a tour of Copenhagen that public drunkeness and loud talking and singing in public could lead to a stay in the local police cells. At that time (1980's) such behaviour in Ireland would be laughed at and tolerated by local law enforcement until physical violence happened. In many cases it would be the slow and heedless people who would be caught by the police and the real perps would get away before being caught.
When abroad it is vitally important to behave like a saint and always be aware of your surroundings and your companions at all times. Try and make contact and be friendly and civil to the local service providers and inhabitants as they may be witnesses to your good behaviour in the event of a row or dispute involving people your may be travelling with.
Always bear in mind that the local police will see ALL tourists in a crowd as potential troublemakers and rowdies. It is often the slow and heedless people, with poor situational awareness and lack of street "smarts" who will get caught and fined or jailed. The real culprits will often get away scot free.
I’m very sorry about those people, it’s disgusting behaviour when going into a foreign country and over-drinking and making a mess of the place. I am from Britain myself and alcoholism is a real issue. I hope you’ve managed to at least meet some respectful people though): there are also a lot of drunks and alcoholics making a scene in the UK as well, they do it everywhere they go. I hate going into town late on a Saturday or Friday night because of the amount of loud drunks wandering around and late at night on a train been stuck with some. Drinking culture is adopted at a young age like at 14/15 but especially at like 16/17 and in UNI basically everyone drinks. I don’t think these people realise it’s not cool to get blackout drunk and vomit everywhere, they probably think it is but it’s not. It shows disrespect to the country that is having to put up with it sure have a few drinks and enjoy yourself but over drinking especially in men causes violent behaviour. Again, I am sorry about this 😢 I don’t think this will change considering the amount of disrespectful people here but there are some respectful people here..

I went to Dam a few years ago with my partner, mainly to visit the museums and admire the architecture, and I felt so embarrassed seeing other Brits there acting like total idiots. Good on Amsterdam, not discrimination at all
So you’re going to ignore that your intentions of visiting Amsterdam (sight seeing) represents the overwhelming minority of tourism there? People don’t go to Vegas to see cacti and sand, just like most don’t go to Amsterdam to admire the architecture. Amsterdams tourism revolves solely on drugs, alcohol and sex so why is this a surprise. Don’t advertise immorality, there’s a novel concept…duh.

Thank you. This is hilarious to me.
@Andre Teelen Americans too. If you ever hear American men say they want to go to Amsterdam, you already know why.
I remember the tourist ads in the 80's, "...have an Amsterdam good time..." The advertising must have worked.
Now they’re trying to roll it back 😂
Same issue in Spain, such as Barcelona, Marbella and Ibiza..
An easy way to fix the problem is if British men are arrested in Amsterdam for disorderly conduct then they should be banned from the country for 5 years. They're details would be put in a database that would prevent them from flying into the country etc... That could be a start.
I lived in Amsterdam in the late 60s, and even back then "young British males" (closely followed in the "please stay away" stakes by young Australian males) were widely disliked. Amsterdam is an unbelievable place to live and its inhabitants have been used to hordes of these clowns thronging the canal areas every day of the year. I know the usual excuses, "they're not all like that," but the fact is, too many of them are! And Amsterdam has put up with them for a very long time and even if I have doubts about the effectiveness of the current campaign to bring some sanity back, it's worth a try.
I've lived in Amsterdam for 3 years whilst in the RAF, under NATO. It's a lovely place and the people are always impeccably well-dressed. I fully understand the need to stop the "yob" behavior, it is both unnecessary and unwanted. But it's not just the Brits that get rather unruly after letting their hair down after a few beverages or other stuff...

Thank goodness I also have a German passport. The amount of shame that some British people have managed to spread thanks to their own stupidity is just tragic.
I've heard that this culture of traveling abroad to drink stems from high alcohol prices in the UK. I've seen the pattern appear in countries around the world. Can any locals comment on that?
I was in Amsterdam by myself a few months ago and was stopped by the police near Red Light and they asked where I was off to. I said “just on a stroll ma’am”. She smiled and said “oh American, I thought you were British. Have a nice evening.” Nice to be in at least one town where the American wasn’t looked at like the A-hole. 😂
Usa > british

She was probably taking the piss. You’re pretty universally hated in Europe mate. Loud, obnoxious and expect everyone to cater to your holiday. Don’t get me wrong, young chavvy brits probably give you a run for your money but this sounds like a made up story. What policewoman would stop you in Amsterdam to determine if you’re British or not? Were you with a group of guys, all wearing tracksuits and bally’s? Because if not, she’d have literally 0 reason to harass you. Red light district is head to toe with dodgy characters and she felt the need to stop you for being suspicious? Either you’re shifty af or this story is BS.

While I understand the frustration, it is annoying. I’m a 26 year old British man and have been three times to Amsterdam, twice alone and once with my sister. I enjoy the nightlife, I like to go to the coffee shops and get high, but I also love the culture, the museums etc. not all of us are there to paint the town red and get out of hand. It’s a shame that there are groups of guys who ruin it for the rest of us.
Not all of them. But most of them
Obviously you are more than welcome and this add is not directed at you. By all means, enjoy the cafe's and coffeeshops. We over here are completely aware of the difference between "normal" Brits just wanting to have a good time, and perhaps slightly misbehave ;-D. This very specifically directed at groups with no other intention with getting as waisted as possible completely irresponsably while expecting the emergency services to clean up after them. These types of groups are just bad for everyone, especially other tourists. The emergency rooms in Amsterdams hospitals at night in the weekends just says it all...
I agree.

As a Portuguese man, It's not uncommon to see tourists from Germany, France, Spain during the summer etc. The British on the other hand, are just unfortunately a bit too much. In my experience, British people (middle aged and elderly) are really good people and usually well behaved and cause little troubles. Unfortunately, their youngsters are the problem here. It's as if all the under 30s, teens and mid 30s adults just come here to get really, really drunk to the point that it's dangerous not only to their health but to others around them. They come here, not all of them, to get "a one night stand"and drunk with their mates. As you know, alcoholism breeds violence hence the issue with them not only in Portugal but in my neighbour, Spain. I think all of this stems from a few observations me and my Portuguese family have seen, they are not a family oriented people. They highly value independence from such a young age. This is both good and bad. On one side of the argument, being independent at a young age makes you grow and be more mature. However, there is a massive danger here. If your kids are taught to be sulf sufficient, independent at a young age with minimal supervision from your parents what do you get? Young adults, teens that think they know it all without the guidance of their parents. Studies have shown that the human mind is only fully developed until their mid twenties. The British parenting style is a problem. It's as if their friends are their family. They don't value family as much as we do. Family is the root of the problem. 🤔

We'll to be fair British tourists have a notorious reputation globally and not just in the Netherlands.
I live in Spain and in the touristic regions here people are generally not keen on Brits at all. I can understand why, as they see the absolute worst of us. Our alcohol and nightlife culture is terribly out of control, there's a moronic, nihilistic kind of misguided and ineffective hedonism to it that's almost braggadocious and sometimes attention-seeking and competitive. It's sad. People don't behave like this in other countries.
Outside of that I think we generally conduct ourselves quite well and are reasonably polite people. It's a shame that we seem to have such an issue with drink and drugs. There's nothing wrong with having fun but some people do so in an incredibly unpleasant way.
Of course it's not just Brits, I see people from all backgrounds doing this. But a lot of our youth severely lack maturity and unfortunately you really see the difference in contrast with young people from the continent.
Even with psychedelics, people treat them as party drugs. They aren't, and they shouldn't be. Yeah it might be fine for you to do that, but we should not encourage the casual use of such powerful and potentially therapeutic substances. This is not to say that they can't or shouldn't be enjoyed, but if you go to Amsterdam to "get fucked up" on shrooms then you are giving yourself, your countrymen, Amsterdam and psychedelics in general a bad name and need to find something else to do with your time.
I think our over-reliance on alcohol is at the heart of the issue. Weed consumption can lead to all sorts of societal and personal problems but they are not so public or invasive, and by and large it is nowhere near as dangerous. I really think we need to seriously address our relationship with alcohol in the UK because it's not making people happy and I can see that the majority of the people in bars and pubs are alcoholics, but it's so normalised that they are not even perceived as such.
I've seen a british man along with an adult female, he was mocking people and taxi drivers gathering outside the hospital. I heard a taxi driver talking to another one about that British person saying " that man is racist". This happened in Agadir, Morocco. People with such a bad behavior should not go abroad.
