How does it actually work?

You pick the group that fits you on this website, click the WhatsApp button, send us a message, and within 48 hours (usually the same day) a real person adds you to the right WhatsApp community. That's it. No apps to download, no login, no fees.

Yes. Joining any Amsterdam People Club group is 100 percent free. We do not sell your number, we do not spam the chat, we do not run ads inside the groups.

Can I join more than one group?

Absolutely. If you're a digital nomad who cycles every morning and parties on Fridays, join the Nomads, Cycling Club and Party groups. Most members are in 2 to 4 groups.

What's the group size? Won't it be spammy?

Each group stays under 250 members with active moderation. Anyone posting promo, crypto, or off-topic links gets removed. The chat is for members, by members.

I'm only in Amsterdam for 5 days. Worth joining?

That's exactly why Tourists - 10 Days exists. You get a welcome dinner, airport-pickup carpools, and a dozen locals telling you the real spots within hours of landing.

I don't have WhatsApp. Another option?

WhatsApp is how Amsterdam actually runs - taxis, bike rentals, restaurant bookings, doctors - everything. If you're in Amsterdam it's the one app to install. If you really can't, message us from the contact page and we'll figure something out.

Are these groups safe? Vetted?

Every new member sends one intro message before being added - 1 photo, first name, where you're from, which group you want. We remove anyone flagged for harassment or scams. We're a community of travellers, not a business directory.

Amsterdam People Club is run by long-term Amsterdam residents and travellers who believe nobody should stay alone here. We started informally in 2021 with one WhatsApp group; now we moderate ten. It's a labor of love, not a company.

About this group

Just married, moved to Amsterdam. Building a life together.

Newlywed couples who chose Amsterdam for the first year of marriage. The chat is part practical (joint bank accounts, shared verblijfsvergunning (residence permit)) and part emotional (how to handle in-law visits, first-year-marriage advice).

Group vibe

Sweet, slightly overwhelmed, learning together.
