How safe is Netherlands for women?
In my experience the Netherlands is very safe. I feel I can go out alone on the street at late hours without any problems. There might be some neighbourhoods in the bigger cities that might be a bit more unsafe, but I'm not too familiar with those.
Posted: May 23, 2024The Netherlands is safe to live in every day. You have to see the beautiful houses with channels everywhere. The windmills are so beautiful, and let's not forget the tulips in the spring. Everyone here cycles, from 5 years old up to 80 years old.
Posted: March 22, 2024Savety all depends on which city you go to and who you're with. However, I'd say that overall, the Netherlands is considered safe for solo travellers or female travellers. Many people speak English and are willing to help you out with directions and that type of stuff.

Solo travel experience
I felt so safe and easy to get around since almost everyone could speak English very well and the people were helpful. The friends I met there were really mice and fun. We always did a lot of fun together. It was always really safe where I was..because it was just a small town.

I felt really safe in Netherlands. And it was actually the safest country that I visit. I went to Amsterdam. You should definitely see the royal palace. And also Ripley’s Believe or Not museum was really fun
