Is Amsterdam Safe for Women to Live?

Amsterdam deels like a very safe city to me, during daytime you’ve got nothing to worry about, no matter where you are (in my experience). After dark just be vigilant when you’re on your own and don’t go to completely empty areas, just like in any city on your own at night.

The city centre feels very safe. Watch out for pickpockets and alayslock your bike, tho. In the late evening in the centre, there are groups of people in front of bars, but they seem harmless. Zuidoost is very quiet.

As a woman I feel very safe in Amsterdam I do believe there are parts of Amsterdam where it feel a bit less safe, but the worst thing that could happen to you is that you get robbed of your phone/wallet.

I think it has been very safe to me. I haven't had any physical attack on the street or being threatened by strangers. During night, I feel free to walk around outside alone. But recently I heard there are some robbery at cars.

Typical European city safety. Safe for female solo travelers. At any time of the day. There are some areas that are not so pleasant to walk in the night, but not dangerous. It’s very touristy as well.

Generally it's very safe during the day and night. I haven't had a single problem, I live here for 12 years now. Watch your pockets in crowded places. Avoid putting yourself in awkward situations. Watch out for those space cookies that can have an expected effect. :-) Some people don't know how much to eat and then sometimes they end up having bad trips.

Amsterdam is a very safe city. Having lived there almost all my life I can say that it’s probably one of the safest cities in the world. There are a lot of lovely people there. But we all know that wherever you go you should always be a bit cautious.

Amsterdam is safe and a nice place to travel to. Just like other cities be careful of your belongings in touristic areas. Public transport is safe, only maybe drunk people in late night. Overall safe place

Very safe. Except touristy places. Local people are trustworthy and friendly. Some drunk tourists create nuisances but nothing that is not seen in other cities. I feel safe to speak my mind, express my creativity and sexuality and in general just be myself.

I live in this city for six years and never encountered any problems. I must say that I live in the city center. I used to take a lot of walks alone during the night and it was always safe. It might differ if you live in Nieuw-west or the Bijlmer.

Couple travel experience

Safety: me and my friend L. (also a woman) felt very in this city. Things to do: a lot of sightseeing and museums, for example the heineken one. Food: lots of great vegan options in almost all restaurants we stopped by. Accommodation: we stayed together at the Mercure Hotel, so it was a little bit more expensive. But 100% worth the price. Transport: we travelled mostly with the train (very punctual) and once with the taxi due to a storm, which caused all public transportation to stop working.

Solo travel experience

It was my second time in Amsterdam. I bought a day pass for 60€, so I got into the museums for free. But you have to make a reservation for the museums 1 month in advance. I tried many potatoes, the best one was at "Fabel Friet". My recommendation was blind ketchup, truffle mayonnaise and Parmesan cheese. It tastes incredibly good. I had stroopwafel at Queen Stroopwafel and it was very good. You can visit safely on your own.

Family travel experience

It was an incredible expérience, we slept in a local's boat for free in exange we have painted it. we are two french twins by the way. We visited museums, Park... It was a city that was part of our Europe roadtrip

Solo travel experience

Last summer I went to Amsterdam it was really nice. Exceeded my expectations. I had dinner in a vegan restaurant TerraZen. The food was amazing Lots of things to do and all types of people. For women there is a really great female friendly hostel!
