It was an excellent short trip of 3 nights and 4 days. We agreed to meet with a friend there and enjoyed the city, the parks, the canals, museums, food and the Netherland atmosphere. We liked it a lot as we are loving traveling and new experiences. I wrote it was a solo trip, because we both came from different countries and we met only in Amsterdam. If you want to visit this city, just go for it, you'll love it.

Loved Amsterdam !! Only went there for a few days and stayed in a hostel but I wished I could have stayed longer! I had always wanted to go see the tulips in the Netherlands and was able to fulfill that wish! The city is beautiful!! Loved the pea soup! The public transports are very easy to use. Everyone I talked to was so nice. And was able to go see Craig Conant's show. Hoping to go back one day!
Posted: September 21, 2025Experienced: March, 2025I traveled during King’s day, which js supposed to be a day for partying and super good vibes. However, I felt like people were extremely rude towards foreigners. They would call me names, stare down at me and the people I had befriended on my hostel. Genuinely, hated the whole experience. Left earlier than expected. It worries me that some nations are becoming very intolerant towards other cultures and visitors.
Posted: September 12, 2025i felt pretty safe overall during the day, never had any weird experiences. the only time i felt unsafe was of course in the evening while i was out and about with friends i met at the hostel. a lot of men were creepy, stared and said weird things. i found the city as a whole wonderful, i fell in love with amsterdam. the way the city is set up with the houses and canals feels so nice and i like that you can practically bike everywhere. there‘s a lot of diversity with cafés, restaurants (of different cultures), thrift shops, clubs, & activities !

Civilized city. The culture is very cold and reserved, but highly efficient. If something happens to somebody, the authorities are diligent. However, do not expect the warmth of help in other countries.
Posted: October 8, 2025You can walk at night, take public transportation without any problem. Go to parties at night or parks during the day. I always feel comfortable and safe, and I’ve never witnessed any crime or harassment. There are just many drug users, but they’ve never bothered me

It’s pretty safe. Although man really like to talk to woman at night in specific quiet areas. Something to keep in mind when you’re going at home alone. Especially when walking. Take the bike, then this your less a willing object.
Posted: July 30, 2025Very safe, especially if you ride on bicycle during the night, not on a foot. People are friendly. It’s very different in the city center and in more living areas. But in general pretty safe. But if you are planning to take something (popular around tourists), better do it at home.

Amsterdam is probably one of the safest places ever in my experience. Better than Berlin for sure and any souther country. Everyone is super friendly here, the locals are quite nice and I feel very free and safe to walk around alone
