Is Eindhoven safe for solo female travelers?

Eindhoven is generally quite safe for solo female travelers. Like anywhere else, it's always important to stay vigilant, especially at night or in less busy areas. Most locals are friendly and willing to help if you need it. Crime rates are relatively low but occasional petty thefts and pickpocketing can occur. Traveling by public transportation or biking is mostly secure. As a modern city with a large number of international students and tech companies, it is generally tolerant and open-minded.

I spent two weeks in Eindhoven for my first solo trip and I just loved it so much!! It’s super safe, beautiful architecture, so many animals, it’s so clean!!!! The people are really welcoming, it’s super calm but there are activities (went to a car exhibition in the center), really nice bars, it’s so nice to be able to bike everywhere! Also everything is closed (went to Amsterdam in 2h by bus)

Eindhoven is a safe student city. There is police and also a lot of lights in the centrum. The station is overall quite clean and there is not many homeless people. Netherlands in general is very safe country. I never got attacked or felt threatened. There is some drugs abuse but you can easily spot people like that and move away if you feel insecure. I always walk back home alone at night and I never experienced any problems.

By bike I feel extremely safe, but the centre especially stratum is not a great and safe place at night for girls. Overall, pretty solid though and don’t feel endangered many times. There are weird people, but in most cases they don’t do much

About me

Hi I am a 43 yo Nomad. A real one. Like my ancestors I also can’t stay in one place for to long. After working in the metal health as a therapist for 15 years and 3 burnouts I have left that and become a dance teacher. It was my hobby. Covid took that away from me and lately I am turning another hobby of mine into income, i mean i am trying to, and i now organize art and women centered retreats in Türkiye. I am based in NL but i travel a lot. Usually to Scotland ones a month. I am a very easy going person and been told to be easy to talk to. English is not my first language but I do my best ;)

About me

Happiest in my thirties while living in the Netherlands. Lover of light, of form and of taste. Mountain culture is a good reason to travel. home. Deep love for horses, a when-I-feel-like-it Pilates practice, and a curiosity that takes me from Home cooking is one of my favorite things to do, and always looking for new flavors to experiment with. My work revolves around storytelling and shaping ideas, but at the core, I’m just someone who loves a nicely designed room or book, dish, you name it. ♡ peace, S.

About me

I’m a Brazilian that last 3 years I have lived in The Netherlands. Now a new chapter is coming in my life and I’m studying in Toronto. I’m looking for new friends, who have the patience to help me with English 😅 I love getting to know cute cafes, conversations about philosophy and the mysteries of life. I currently work with holistic therapy, so developing people and aromatic plant are my great passion. I like to read, watch movies/series, practice yoga and go out dancing.
