As a woman, I think you always feel a bit alert but I have never experienced any sort of unsafety and have never been in any experiences that have made me feel violated or unsafe. One can walk and bike around with no issue

It’s really safe! But still got to watch out walking alone at night as a girl. While I do it and feel absolutely safe you still have to be conscious about your surroundings. During the day it’s safe and transport it’s really good to other city’s and country’s

Its very safe, since tbe town is not too crowded, and there is good social control just like in the rest of the Netherlands. In all the years of living alone here, i never had any problem or an unsafe feeling that came out of nowhere

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.
