It’s a small city and of course you have some weirdos who call some random things (just yell something back) but overall I think it is a safe city. I go out there sometimes and I have never experienced a thing that made me feel uncomfortable or unsafe.

Alkmaar is pretty safe! And beautiful city! But I mean every city nowadays has some bad spots or some cracks. Therefore I would say it’s a pretty safe city but always make sure that you feel comfortable and be online with someone
Posted: December 30, 2024I’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!
Posted: June 8, 2024The 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.
