Haarlem is completely safe. For me personally, as a young woman under 20, I have never felt unsafe in Haarlem. I walk home on a regular basis from the station to my house (a 15-minute walk) after dark and I have never felt uncomfortable or unsafe. It could be 3am or 3pm and I'd be safe :)

I've been living in Haarlem for 8 months and so far it's been absolutely alright. I only made an experience once where I went home after clubbing and had a man pull over in his car. I told him to leave me be and he just wouldn't. He ended up following me and pulling his car over, getting out to talk to me. I told him to get back in his car and how unsafe I feel, which he understood (I think?) as I raised my voice (I had swapped road sides and was literally ready to throw hands) so he left and I ran home (I was 5 minutes away)

I want to give a shout out to Haarlem, Netherlands. For someone who has seen Amsterdam but gets tired of the hustle of the big city, nearby Haarlem can’t be beat. My son relocated there two years ago and I’ve had the opportunity to visit 4 times already. It’s a mini Amsterdam but much more laid back. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a tourist shop there. It’s safe, easy to get to from Schiphol (the #300 bus has its own road!). It’s beautiful. Safe, and very walkable. I just got back home less than 2 weeks ago and looking forward to another visit in 3 months. They’ve got a “Centrum” that is chock full of restaurants with outdoor dining. An amazing place to people watch in all seasons as the patios are heated and they supply blankets. I can’t say enough about Haarlem,
