As a Brazilian, I didn't see anything unsafe about The Hague at all. The city is wonderful, with lots of things to do and nice people. I've already taken a bus from the central station at 12pm and nothing happened to me, there were always nice people to help me when needed.
Posted: May 8, 2025Generally it’s a safe city. But at nights it’s a lot quieter ( lots of lightning around). I don’t have any negative experiences. But it’s always a possibility to experience something negative. I am happy about living here.

The Hague is an overall safe city, rated as one of the safest cities in Europe, but cat calling is very common. There is also lots of pick pocketing, especially on public transport. I have recently gotten my phone stolen on the train, but there are many many cases

Reminder that I am a 177cm white woman, which fits into the local population demographic, and so I cannot speak to other experiences however I feel safe and walk home from bars or clubs at 2-4am with no issue. I think even just speaking on the phone helps if you’re ever worried, and police are often around in nighttime places.

During the daytime I never have the feeling I’m unsafe, people are very nice and loving. In the evening I also don’t feel unsafe, but there is a change in what kind of people go outside. But I never experienced something bad.
Posted: January 12, 2025The most dangerous and sketchy areas are around HS station, red light district. The centre region is quite public and unsafe only in like smaller streets. To the sea side is more rich people area so I would say that there it’s quite but you can never know

Hiii, I went to the Hague in the Netherlands. I went to see a friend who told me the Hague wasn't that safe... I felt okay and didn't have any problems. The beach there is nice, you can surf sometimes:)

Very safe and lovely people! Very beautiful multinational community of students. Typically not many things to do past 5 pm but art museums were lovely and overall the city was gorgeous! I highly recommend an Amsterdam- The Hague trip
