I honestly feel pretty safe and comfortable in The Hague. People are friendly and locals are always happy to help if you’re lost or need tips. The city feels very open, calm, and welcoming overall :)

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.

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.

Safety depends on the neighborhood. I loved food courts, especially the one near De Pier where you can enjoy panoramic views. I recommend visiting Scheveningen area and Peace Palace in the city center. I loved drinking coffee near the canals and in the Koekamp park where you can find animals like deers and squirrels.

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:)
