Dear Travel Ladies, my trip to Breda was due to school conference, but in my free time I got to explore the beautiful places in the city itself. It was a very cozy experience, there weren't many people and the architecture of the city looked very nice

🇳🇱 My First Solo Trip in Europe: The Netherlands ✨ I’d like to begin posting here by sharing my very first solo trip in Europe, the Netherlands. It had been on my bucket list since I was a child, especially because I grew up learning about Dutch history. Now that I’m living in Poland, I finally dared myself to go. I thought solo travel would be scary, but it turned out to be one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. My journey started with an afternoon FlixBus from Wrocław to...

It was very cold bcs i visited on february but it wasnt the worst point. You can smell the 🌿 everywhere. But except this, it was funny. And the second was the fees were to heavy like it was so expensive for food etc.

I have lived here almost my whole life and nothing has happened since. The people are generous and there are many supermarkets for such a small town! The train station is nearby and even at night there are not many people, at daytime its probably one of the safest places and at night its always pretty quiet outside, ofcourse you do have to look out for weird or creepy people, but those aren't really there most of the time.

Very cozy, village like city, very active nightlife, especially on thursdays, weekend nightlife may be a bit more sketchy, lots of internationals so most speak English extremely well. Only ever heard bad things about Noorderplantsoen at night, but have never experienced anything unsafe when I cycled through it (also at night a few times.

Katwijk is very safe. I've lived here all my life and I've always been comfortable walking around at night. The dunes are quite safe too, forrested areas are the least safe but they're fine! The most I've witnessed is passive drug dealing As long as you stay near the beach side there's honestly no going wrong.

It pretty safe to walk around all of the time. Some night you it’s best to not walk alone in the center but if something happens or you feel unsafe there are always people to help you. In the day time ther isn’t much to feel unsafe about.
