Recommend walking around, flower market is okay🌷, like the flying tiger shop, go to ADAM for a view, recommend waffle workshop waffle 🧇, recommend cheese 🧀 Go on a canal trip Stayed at a vacation house village 🏡 Were at the interactive art museum WONDR, it’s fun 👁️ Nothing is for me a must do, but strongly recommend: thrift shopping & walking around
Posted: November 26, 2024From 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

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.

In general I feel as a women in amsterdam I have basically never felt any threat, this could be that majority of the time you use a bike however in all the instances I used public transport in the 6 years I lived there never once did I experience something uncomfortable. I think no matter where you are in the world, no matter how safe, as a woman you never feel 100% safe however amsterdam has proven mostly that it is safe. I would say the only chances of there being an uncomfortable moment would be perhaps in a bar if you are unfortunately subject to assault. However i have only experienced that one or two times and it was dealt with.

I’m 23 years old, recently statistics graduated from Greece. I’m in Amsterdam for Erasmus internship in an ngo for good living. My hobby is learning as many different possible things for life and cultures. I love to travel but not as tourist but as adventure. That why I want to connect with locals and to create good connections and learning from them.
