I loved my whole trip in the netherlands. Amsterdam is quite expensive, but it is worth all the money. Just be careful walking around alone at night in the city, the nightlife can be quite harsh. Check out the arquitecture and the truffel chips while your visiting Amsterdam!!!

I visited Amsterdam and I really enjoyed the canals, the bikes, and the atmosphere. It was a beautiful city. I was in Amsterdam in the summer of 2024. It was really beautiful, and I would like to go there again.

Amsterdam was incredible!! I visited for the first time with some friends and we all fell in love with the city. We arrived a few days before King's day (which is a big celebration that lasts almost 2 days). Even though everybody is celebrating and drinking, we always felt safe, no matter the time or the neighborhood we were in! Also have to give a big shoutout to the ferry system which is on point, never had to wait once and we took it daily.

It pretty safe to walk around all of the time. Some night you it’s best to not walk alone in the center but if something happens or you feel unsafe there are always people to help you. In the day time ther isn’t much to feel unsafe about.

I feel like Rotterdam is safe, but you do need to stay on the bigger roads at night. There are a lot of nice people, but there’s always those few creeps. I’ve never had any problems at daytime (only the occasional “emo” shout from some 13 yr old boys)

Quite safe, just don’t go into dodgy streets alone at night, and then you will be perfectly alright. City centre has good vibes.
