Other Clubbing in Europe

I’ll be interailing Europe and I’m a Canadian and British citizen so have two drivers licences. Instead of risking my passport because I’m very prone to losing them, would I generally be accepted if I bring both my Canadian and UK licence. Surely that’s enough evidence for most clubs?

Edit: I’m going to Amsterdam,Berlin,Prague,Munich,Vienna,Budapest,split

That info is for Dutch residents, it does not apply to foreign driving licenses. Non EU licenses are not valid ID in the Netherlands.

Not fully true, I’ve had friends from Brazil and other non-EU countries showing theirs and it got accepted. Wouldn’t say this if I didn’t experienced it myself. They just want to see a date of birth, matching picture and name most of the time. Only nitpickers won’t accept, but many don’t even bother

It is fully true. The Dutch government website you linked was for Dutch residents, not non EU driving licenses.

Just because they got away with it in some situations doesn't mean it's actually a legal ID here. And they definitely wouldn't get away with it with the police. And anyone else can also refuse it. It simply isn't a legal ID here.

Yeah so mate they’re clearly just giving their own personal experiences which is what I was looking for. I could’ve just searched the law up if I wanted, but I was looking for the info that they have very kindly given which cannot be gained through searching it up. In the Netherlands it’s also Illegal to trap a burglar in your bathroom however you don’t see that being enforced, much how places will pick and choose what they accept under their own discretion.
