I stayed in Amsterdam for 4 days. Hostel was basic but not very clean,thankfully there was a lot of young people travelling too, so you never feel quite alone Thz city is beautiful, but prices are not always budget traveler friendly, especially for food and activities. Great for a short visit, but it's best enjoyed longer to really "absorb" the atmosphere of the city.
Posted: September 24, 2024Experienced: June, 2022From time to time men were a bit unsettling, they catcalled me and one of them even sent a kiss at me from across the canal. However, I didnt feel that scared since most streets were crowded and there were many other people. It was a bit expensive but cheaper than I thought. Many many different kinds of people but still I really liked the city and enjoyed my every second there
Posted: September 11, 2024Amsterdam has a lot to offer from culture to nightlife. I was out as a female most nights clubbing and drinking and felt safe. The transportation is also really easy to figure out. A lot of people bike but the tram is easy too.

Amsterdam is a great city to visit alone. It's pretty small and easily walkable, lots of museums, nature spots, street food, beer You can rent a bicycle and ride like the locals or take a subway or tram. Out of town trains are always on time and not expensive. I loved it in Amsterdam

Posted: August 31, 2024Experienced: July, 2018Amsterdam was a great experience! I went there last month and enjoyed the stay very much. I went with my partner and stayed in a hotel outside of the center. Everyday we took the metro into the city and had great food, went into interesting museums and had the best time!
Posted: August 25, 2024I find the people friendly, the city beautiful, the sky wonderful, and the weather good. There are lots of bicycles here 😃—more than anything else! And plenty of pancakes and French fries. The streets are beautiful, and the canals are clean.

I spent two days but just one night in Amsterdam and I felt that it was enough to see everything but I would also say you could stay a lot more days without feeling bored. The city is absolutely beautiful and I enjoyed a lot even on a buget so I did not visit any of the museums but would love to come back some day to do it . I did felt very safe all times traveling alone and using public transport

I felt safe walking around the city on my own but sill stayed cautious. But typically the people there a very nice and helpful. Even just walking around the city was nice. It’s so picturesque! I stayed in Purmerend in a Hostel there. They where these cubes so I felt safe even in a mixed dorm. Transportation is easy but you need a card, otherwise you won’t get into the bus or trains there. You can get them online or at the train station in Amsterdam.
Posted: July 25, 2024As Amsterdam is one of the more “expensive “ cities in Europe as well is one of the more fun with a lot of things to do. Also you can find a bunch of cheap or free things to explore such as parks, bikings etc. Is definitely a place where you feel safe and one to put in your list of “must go”in life

Its pretty safe because there are people everywhere, but also look out for muggers and stuff because they can easily steal in the crowd so yeah basicly pretty safe but still keep an eye open !!!!!!!!!!

Amsterdam is quite safe for female travellers both durıng the day and night. Living here two years, i haven’t had any issue so far.You should beware the pickpockets in crowded places and public transportation though.
