's-Hertogenbosch, more commonly known as Den Bosch, in the Netherlands is generally a very safe city to visit. As with any destination, it's important to maintain common sense and vigilance, particularly at night or when in less crowded areas. The main risks are pickpocketing and bicycle theft which are common across the Netherlands. However, violent crimes are rare. The local people are friendly and helpful and there is a very low tolerance for any form of harassment.
