I spent just 3 days in Amsterdam with a friend, staying in the clink hostel. The Hozier concert we went to was insane and we also enjoyed the Dalí/Gaudi immersive experience. I tend to feel anxious/overstimulated in cities but Amsterdam was comparatively very relaxing. The amount of water in and around the centre affects the atmosphere of the city for sure. I felt pretty safe walking at night and the public transport is easy to use.

Travelled here with a friend for four days. Amsterdam is by far among my favorite destinations. I felt very safe, free, and relaxed there. Even though it’s bustling with tourism, it was still very chill. People are very friendly, helpful and non-judgmental. The city offers more than weed (although this is a must when visiting), such as great food, the Red Light Secrets Museum, Moco museum and other art museums, and the Van Gogh museum. I also love the progressive and environmentally-friendly culture and lifestyle there. This is city is definitely 10/10. ❤️
Posted: April 13, 2025felt very safe, especially as a queer couple. The vegan options are crazy good, we tried so many vegan restaurants and had lots of fun. We stayed in Utrecht, close to the center, it was a very cheap and good place.
Posted: April 13, 2025It was really fun, rented a bicycle and biked around the middle of the city. Pretty safe borh walking and biking. It was when it became dark that i became a bit creepy, got catcalled when biking and had to stay casious when walking home after with my friend in the dark since it became dark pretty fast.
Posted: April 10, 2025Amsterdam is a beautiful city and I really recommend it, there are a lot of things to do, and people were nice, I felt safe there and have really liked the atmosphere plus the houses are really cute and there are a lot of ducks there, I love ducks.

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

I was in Rotterdam in the Sommer and I felt really safe. City is really nice, but you can see most of it in one day. I went to the two hours cruse with boat , and I was disappointed. They show you just the Industry side of the city.
Posted: March 11, 2025Experienced: May, 2023We stayed in a bed and breakfast the food in the b&b wasn't That Good. For dinner we went to two different Italian restaurants and they were amazing. If you are planning to go to den Haag by car, don't! Its very expensive to park there. You can go to the beatch and go swimming. There are a few Museum witch are worth a visit (Museum Voorlinden). Or you can go to Duinrell.

Totally safe. I am always super cautious if I'm visiting somewhere for the first time but I had no worries here at all. The hospitality workers were all lovely, people on the streets are happy, I loved it. I stayed in a 4 bed mixed dormitory at a hostel and I only roomed with dudes for 2 nights and they were all nice! I went to 'coffee shops' on 2 nights with different people I met from the hostel and they were completely different experiences (I'm not a regular smoker). First was super fun and silly, we stayed out quite late wandering the city and ate fries. The second, a seasoned smoker bought this stuff for us and I started feeling weird all of a sudden after 10 mins and left to sit down on a bench by myself. I had a psychotic episode... silently... it was super scary but I had inner monologue telling me to calm down so eventually I walked back to the hostel about 10 minutes away which was completely fine and went to bed. When I woke up everything was normal. Moral of the story is make sure the person in the shop knows you need something light not something that will send you into the stratosphere. Unless that's what you're going for. There are so many varieties of varying strengths, don't make my mistake and smoke anything put in front of you 😂

It’s a very safe, quaint place that has a lot of hidden gems. It’s a quiet Christian town where people usually go to retire. I’ve lived here for 12 years and haven’t experienced anything substantial. The most you’ll get is a group of teenage boys who are wannabe gangsters checking you out lol, but they’re harmless. They’re usually around chain grocery stores and public transport during dusk.
Posted: April 19, 2025Voorschoten feels incredibly safe and peaceful—perfect for solo travelers, families, and anyone looking for a relaxed environment. It’s a quiet, residential town where people greet each other, kids play freely, and biking or walking around at any time of day feels secure. I’ve never had any safety concerns, even when out alone. It has that cozy small-town feel, but it’s still close to bigger cities like Leiden and The Hague. A great balance of calm and convenience!

Hi butterflies, I myself like to fly away to other places to meet other butterflies and beautiful people and their colors of traditions and cultures. But I also can really enjoy to stay in my cocoon and would love to welcome other butterflies and people, having a great time with them in my wonderful, social and green hometown. Even though I am born with a muscular disease and I am using a power wheelchair to move around, it absolutely doesn’t make me to stay in my cocoon all the time. On the contrary! I’m looking for the possibilities, and not the impossibilities. That’s my life motto! And independency with a physical disability is also a high priority in my undertaking life. :) Every year I’m making a trip to have a water sports holiday on a great lake (sailing, canoeing, rowing and even water skiing). When I’m in my hometown I love to be with my fellow butterfly friends to have a good fresh (vegetarian) meal and to enjoy their company. I can also really enjoy of the serenity of nature or writing my thoughts and feelings down on paper as poetry.
