It’s very safe. I have been living in Eindhoven for the past 6 years and thank god i have never experienced anything bad. I am not scared to go outside alone in the dark, not even midnight. I feel very comfortable as a woman in this City.

It is pretty safe, depends on where you are staying but I wouldn't say it's unsafe. Just watch out for men like always!!! When in stratum, going out, there could be men cat calling you or just being really annoying

A fairly safe city where the “regular” visitor will not experience very bad stuff. However, there are certain areas that are best to avoid. Also, as a woman you will not so much experience violence, but verbal sexual harrasment can happen. There are many international students in Eindhoven, so as a foreigner you don’t “stand out” so much and you can just ease into the crowd.

I feel like i can walk alone at night, i did many times. I never got in any trouble or assulted. I feel safe overall. The only place i feel a bit unsafe is the club area. There is a lot of dunk people and creepy man.

It's really safe actually i rarely feel scared walking alone at night, the only thing is al lot of homelessness lately. They are usually out at night on the street..... Selling d*ugs. But they dont really want anything from you.

I feel like Eindhoven is pretty safe. I haven’t felt unsafe here while walking alone of using public transportation. I feel like the police here is helpful and there is a lot of police during events and in area’s where people go out in the weekends

Im from here but as a local I have never felt unsafe ever. I walk alone in the streets at night, also during the day. But I do only see the city centre as I live close by. I can’t speak about the outskirts of Eindhoven and safety. It’s mainly very busy here and I know a lot of people.

I have lived in Eindhoven for 2 years, and I have always felt safe in all environments: day, night, busy or late at night. Almost never harassed, but attention is always good. Super safe public transportation.

I consider Eindhoven to be very safe. I never experienced anything warranting a criminal report, never felt particularly unsafe in an environment. It is a city of 200.000+ people so of course some attention is required.

Eindhoven is a safe place to visit, there are no real bad neighborhoods that I would avoid for other reasons than that there's just nothing interesting there to see or do. The amount of homeless people increased a bit over the years, but I never had any issues with them or heard of anyone who did.
