Is Amsterdam Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Amsterdam

Amsterdam is super safe, just practice normal caution that we do whenever going on a trip. Most people speak english so its easy to find help. Biljmer area is said to ve not too great - so I would recommend staying within A10 ring and in areas like West, Jordaan, Oost etc - closer ti central but not in centre

Amsterdam feels very safe! Obviously you still should keep an eye out and be careful of your surroundings, but most people seem to just keep to themselves and let you do your own thing. Lots of busy crowds everywhere so it would be easy to ask for help if needed

I went to Amsterdam with my mom and felt super safe the whole time. We walked around day and night, used public transport, and even during King’s Day when it was really crowded — no issues at all. People were friendly, everything was well-lit, and English is widely spoken. Just keep an eye on your bag in crowded areas. Definitely a city I’d feel confident visiting solo !

In general Amsterdam is a very safe city. It is always adviced to be careful and be aware that tourist areas especially the center of Amsterdam are hotspots for nightlife, therefore you might come across people that are drunk or high. There is always a lot of police walking around so it's not inherently dangerous. I would however avoid staying in the area of Bijlmer as the area can be a little more dangerous especially at night. Other than that be sure to keep your valuables out of reach for other people and your bag close to you. Make sure you take a bag you can close as pickpocketing is quite common in tourist areas and on public transport and bigger stations mostly during rush hour.

im a very anxious person, so i always feel some sense of fear. but amsterdam is very safe overall. :) just watch out for your usual pick-pockets and don’t fall for tourist traps and you’ll be all good.

Walked alone drunk more times than i can count on my hands! Wouldn’t necessarily recommend it, but nothing ever happens. Prefer the festival scene over the club scene! I would definitely feel safer at a festival then at a club

Family travel

With my sister in Ams🫶 A vibrant city, and we stayed in a really nice home (the stairs were WILD but it’s really how houses are built there). I strongly recommend visiting Ams and trying local food as much as possible (local markets have some really good stands)😋

Solo travel

I felt safe during the day but after it got dark it was a bit tricky since it's a really popular city among tourists. I definitely would recommend trying traditional surinamese restaurant Warung Spang Makandra.
