Westerbork

I’ve lived here almost 20 years and the worst I’ve experienced is some occasional catcalling. I’ve never been followed or physically/sexually assaulted or harassed in public here. In the outskirts of the city (Overdie, De Mare/Daalmeer etc.) some crime can happen, so I would recommend not going there alone at night. Otherwise I would say the city is perfectly safe to be in.

Alkmaar is a little city in the netherlands, it is about 35 minutes from amsterdam. It is famous for the cheese market and the beautiful old centre. It is a very safe place with lots of greenery and families living there!

The city centre holds a significant amount of history and is enjoyable both during the day and in the evening. While areas like Overdie and Hoefplan may be perceived as less desirable by some, they're not as bad as they seem especially nowadays. Though, there isn't much to do or see over there.

Nestled in the heart of northwestern Europe, the Netherlands is renowned for its vast array of cultural and natural treasures. The country, also known as Holland, is known for being incredibly flat, with large portions of land sitting below sea level. This pan-flat landscape is speckled with charming windmills, tulip fields that burst into color in spring, and iconic cities lined with gabled houses. The Netherlands is recognized worldwide for its leading role in the arts, boasting the birthplace of celebrated painters like Van Gogh and Rembrandt, and home to numerous world-class museums. Don't miss exploring the Venice-like canals of Amsterdam, cycling around The Hague, or indulging in Dutch delicacies such as Gouda cheese and Stroopwafels. One can also expect a warm welcome, with the Dutch often known for their tolerance and liberalism.
