based on 10 experiences from female travelers
I stayed in an Airbnb in Voorburg the connection to The Hague was amazing and the prices were a little bit cheaper. It's also a good location for trips to Leiden, Gouda or Delft. If you want more of an experience beach go to Scheveningen with the bars, restaurants and stuff to do and if you like it a bit more quiet visit Kijkduin. Otherwise the food is amazing. Take the time of the day and do an afternoon tea. I liked the one at Blossom or at Scallywags. Definitely try an Indonesian Restaurant...
Posted: November 3, 2025Safety depends on the neighborhood. I loved food courts, especially the one near De Pier where you can enjoy panoramic views. I recommend visiting Scheveningen area and Peace Palace in the city center. I loved drinking coffee near the canals and in the Koekamp park where you can find animals like deers and squirrels.

Hiii, I went to the Hague in the Netherlands. I went to see a friend who told me the Hague wasn't that safe... I felt okay and didn't have any problems. The beach there is nice, you can surf sometimes:)

Very safe and lovely people! Very beautiful multinational community of students. Typically not many things to do past 5 pm but art museums were lovely and overall the city was gorgeous! I highly recommend an Amsterdam- The Hague trip

The Hague is in general safe but like most European cities the atmosphere changed over the years and people in general can misbehave when too much alcohol, drugs or "simply an attitude problem" Me as a woman never felt unsafe in The Hague or anywhere in this cosmos
Posted: April 26, 2026Overall pretty safe, but if their issues arise they will likely be around centrum or at the locations selected. These are neighborhoods where a lot of different people come together to for example hang out which can cause friction and a higher opportunistic criminality rate.

I feel super safe in DH, I bike and walk anywhere at any time and it's always a joy. Exceptions would be Laak and the area around the train stations in the evening that can feel a teeny tiny bit sketchy (mostly because you will mostly find men in the street, there can be some catcalling)
Posted: December 7, 2025Throughout my stay, I have neither seen a crime nor felt unsafe, even at night. I don't know what it's like to be out alone at night because I was in a group of four, but I didn't see a shady person. I wouldn't leave my bag alone anywhere, but it's not like other cities where you're afraid your phone will be ripped out of your hand and you'll have to be constantly afraid of theft.

Hiii! I'm Brazilian and have been living in The Netherlands for 4 years :) I share a flat with my (Swedish) girlfriend and we often travel together. I'm a political economist with interest in sustainability and feminist theory/literature/organizing! I'm not super much the party type but you can always convince me to go to a costume party or karaoke. I am super affectionate and love sharing moments with friends, old or new I do quite a lot of hitchhiking and couchsurfing and that's my usual preferred form of traveling! I live up to the latina standard, which means I am super warm and get a lot of energy from socializing and meeting new people.

Hii, I'm Yasemin. I am originally from Turkey but I have been living in the Hague, the Netherlands for the past 4 years, to pursue a bachelor's degree in international relations :) I speak Turkish, English, Russian, French (though I spoke it quite well in the past, my French has deteriorated so much, so i can only hold basic conversations now :")) and also am currently learning Dutch. I enjoy traveling to different places and meeting different people wherever I go, especially through hitchhiking and couchsurfing :) I like how this way of traveling gives me opportunities to meet and talk to people that I would never get a chance to meet otherwise. I like talking about history, video games, techno, going on meaningles walks around the city with my friends, and just chill hang outs in general. I would say I am pretty low maintenance. Periodically, I pick up random hobbies just to drop them after a few months, so I wouldn't say I have a set thing I love to do lol. I hate capitalism, fascism, ignorance. I guess apathy in general. I am happy to host whoever happens to find themselves in the Hague! Even though I am not Dutch, I am confident in my ability to tour guide so ill give you a tour if im available :)
