Is Amsterdam Safe for Women? Crime Rate & Safety Index

Amsterdam is quite safe for female travellers both durıng the day and night. Living here two years, i haven’t had any issue so far.You should beware the pickpockets in crowded places and public transportation though.

In general I feel as a women in amsterdam I have basically never felt any threat, this could be that majority of the time you use a bike however in all the instances I used public transport in the 6 years I lived there never once did I experience something uncomfortable. I think no matter where you are in the world, no matter how safe, as a woman you never feel 100% safe however amsterdam has proven mostly that it is safe. I would say the only chances of there being an uncomfortable moment would be perhaps in a bar if you are unfortunately subject to assault. However i have only experienced that one or two times and it was dealt with.

Honestly Amsterdam is overall a quite safe city. There are certain parts that seem less safe. But the main thing im be worried about is being pickpocketted while walking in the center. But ill walk there at night after a night out with no problem. Just ignore weirdos and avoid walking through small alleys.

In general the city is fairly safe. However, just like in most cities I do recommend to stay on the main road where there is good lighting when walking around after dark. Just for your own safety. I do want to say that this is based off of my (and my friends) experiences. So it could differ

The western part of Amsterdam, where my house is located, is very safe. It’s close to a lot of facilities such as supermarkets, libraries, atm’s, bars, restaurants, cafe’s and nightlife. This part of the city is easy to reach by bus, tram and metro.

At nights I can feel a bit unsafe of drunk/high people at the city center but as long as I am not isolated it is alright. I would advice at nights to cycle or take transport instead of walking in remote areas. Overall still a safe city but still the capital.

Amsterdam is pretty safe, it’s busy so you are rarely alone on the streets. Some neighbours are safer than others and at night safety level drops a little as everywhere I guess. Writing this from the perspective of a white women. For queer man** and people of colour the safety level is a bit different

I walk around alone in Amsterdam (even when I was 14) at night and never experienced sudden danger. Maybe some weird people asking for a cigarette or just talking inaudible things but nothing more haha

Overall very save anytime of the day And is always people around you during any time of the day if it is 12 am or 3 am or 5 am its always busy 😂😂 Only this thats some way dangerous is walking in the bike lines 🤭 Even most bar and clubs are save but still always be on look out

I think it is very safe city, especially for women. You can walk alone in the night and not be worried about your safety.Of course it is better to take care about yourself but it is one of the safety city I have lived

Solo travel

I stayed in Amsterdam for 4 days. Hostel was basic but not very clean,thankfully there was a lot of young people travelling too, so you never feel quite alone Thz city is beautiful, but prices are not always budget traveler friendly, especially for food and activities. Great for a short visit, but it's best enjoyed longer to really "absorb" the atmosphere of the city.

Solo travel

From time to time men were a bit unsettling, they catcalled me and one of them even sent a kiss at me from across the canal. However, I didnt feel that scared since most streets were crowded and there were many other people. It was a bit expensive but cheaper than I thought. Many many different kinds of people but still I really liked the city and enjoyed my every second there
