I have not so much issue while I'm living in Assen so far since I live here. Everything went well and I'm pretty enjoying because you could walk and riding the bike around nature and it feels so really nice.
Posted: October 8, 2025Relatively safe, low crime rate especially in the suburbs, city centre perhaps more feeling of unsafety, but objectively low crime rate and little things happening, little places with no people closely around

Assen is a small town with the vibes of a village. Yes at night there are people on the streets and that might make you a bit uncomfortable but there absolutely harmless. Personally I've really feel safe in Assen
