Very safe, quaint town. Don’t do anything stupid or mess with people at night and you’ll be fine. Predominately a population filled with students and old people. Not much nightlife, but a lot of fun and other cities are close by train

Lived in the city centre for 4 years, felt very safe always, also when walking alone at 4 am Be careful outside the city centre though, especially Tanthof and rest of the south of delft. Public transport extremely safe

A super safe city with mostly older people and students. I usually bike around at night and there's not that many people around in general. It is possible that you would encounter some people who are a bit drunk at night but it's very unusual and they don't really care about you anyway.

About me

Hi! I am Mira, 25 years old, just got out of a longterm relationship and finally giving in to my travelling ambitions. Im a gym girlie so I will definitely try to persuade you if you aren't going to the gym allready. I love to cook healthy food, with a lot of meat and cheese but I can do vegetarian :). I would love to show you around Delft if I have time, during weeks I can also introduce you to Delft student life! I also know fun places to go in the Hague, Rotterdam, Leiden, Amsterdam and pretty much the rest of the Netherlands so don't be afraid to ask! Very adventurous spontaneous girl, up for almost anything :)
