Is Amsterdam Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Group travel

Amsterdam 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.

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.

As 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

I really love Amsterdam and have been there several times as a solo traveller. It is easy to connect with people but you still feel safe everywhere! Everyone is kind and welcoming! It might be a bit pricy tho.

Family travel

I felt very safe because i went with my father and cousin, even at night at park there were people having fun and nobody was being anoying, at night it wasnt scary at all only be careful at dark tight places

Amsterdam is a beautiful city that is really safe to explore both day and night and everyone is very friendly. I recommend staying in a female dorm at a hostel to make friends to explore the city with. There are tons and tons and tons of museums and galleries, and to hit all of them you'd need probably a week. The waffles and fries are so so yummy. Definitely hit a coffee shop before going to a museum it will elevate your artistic experience 🤩. Everyone is super friendly and speaks English, as always just be cautious at night, I had a very friendly but kind of weird interaction with a guy who wanted to hang out but as soon as he saw I was uncomfortable parted ways and I was really lucky he did that.

Safety: me and my friend L. (also a woman) felt very in this city. Things to do: a lot of sightseeing and museums, for example the heineken one. Food: lots of great vegan options in almost all restaurants we stopped by. Accommodation: we stayed together at the Mercure Hotel, so it was a little bit more expensive. But 100% worth the price. Transport: we travelled mostly with the train (very punctual) and once with the taxi due to a storm, which caused all public transportation to stop working.

It was my second time in Amsterdam. I bought a day pass for 60€, so I got into the museums for free. But you have to make a reservation for the museums 1 month in advance. I tried many potatoes, the best one was at "Fabel Friet". My recommendation was blind ketchup, truffle mayonnaise and Parmesan cheese. It tastes incredibly good. I had stroopwafel at Queen Stroopwafel and it was very good. You can visit safely on your own.

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.

From 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

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
