Zaandam is a peaceful city! Everything you need is there and it is definitely on the safe side. Of course danger is everywhere, but waking with your phone in your hands or in your back pocket is no issue at all :) 
You can even leave your bag in a café and use the toilet and I promise it will be there when you get back. Be safe anyways though🫶🏽

Nestled in the heart of northwestern Europe, the Netherlands is renowned for its vast array of cultural and natural treasures. The country, also known as Holland, is known for being incredibly flat, with large portions of land sitting below sea level. This pan-flat landscape is speckled with charming windmills, tulip fields that burst into color in spring, and iconic cities lined with gabled houses. The Netherlands is recognized worldwide for its leading role in the arts, boasting the birthplace of celebrated painters like Van Gogh and Rembrandt, and home to numerous world-class museums. Don't miss exploring the Venice-like canals of Amsterdam, cycling around The Hague, or indulging in Dutch delicacies such as Gouda cheese and Stroopwafels. One can also expect a warm welcome, with the Dutch often known for their tolerance and liberalism.
