Safety overview

Safety at night:Safe

Maastricht is generally quite safe at night, especially in well-lit and populated areas. The city has a low crime rate and the locals are usually friendly and willing to assist. While it is important to always be vigilant and aware of your surroundings, solo female travelers should feel comfortable walking alone at night. Like all cities, it has its share of petty crimes, so avoid poorly-lit areas and always keep your belongings secure.

Public transportation: Safe

Public transportation in Maastricht is generally reliable and safe, even at night. Bus lines cover most of the city and surrounding areas and they are frequently used by locals, students and tourists alike. However, like with any other place, it's always important to remain alert and aware of your surroundings, especially if you're traveling alone or during off-peak hours. Buses and trains are well-lit, regularly patrolled and most of them have CCTV cameras installed.

Street harassment: Very low

Maastricht is generally a safe city for female solo travelers. Street harassment is not a prevalent issue here. However, as with any travel situation, it's important to remain alert and aware of your surroundings at all times. Although you might come across some drunk individuals during late hours in bar areas, the majority of the locals are respectful and helpful.

Petty crimes:Low

Maastricht, like most parts of the Netherlands, is generally a safe place for solo female travelers. Petty crimes such as pickpocketing or purse snatching do occur but are relatively rare, especially compared to many other European cities. However, caution should still be exercised particularly in crowded areas and while using public transportation.

Tap water:Very safe

Maastricht, like the rest of the Netherlands, has one of the highest quality tap waters in the world. It is not only safe to drink but also very clean and tasty. It is checked often to ensure its safety and quality. Therefore, you can confidently drink the tap water without needing to buy bottled water. This makes it not only a convenient choice but also an environmentally friendly one.
