Is The Hague Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

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...

Safety 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:)

Group travel

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

We stayed in a bed and breakfast the food in the b&b wasn't That Good. For dinner we went to two different Italian restaurants and they were amazing. If you are planning to go to den Haag by car, don't! Its very expensive to park there. You can go to the beatch and go swimming. There are a few Museum witch are worth a visit (Museum Voorlinden). Or you can go to Duinrell.

I felt very safe and would recommend visiting the pier in Scheveningen. We had very delicious breakfast and visited amazing bars as well. The overall experience was great because The Hague has a lot to offer

Family travel

The Hague is one of the most safest towns I have ever been in. The local people were very nice and kind. They were helpful. The food is great and there are many fun activities to visit, such as pubs, the beach and many other things. Would 100% recommend.

During the day time I felt pretty safe, at night time you have to look out for yourself but that’s how it always is. Overall I had no negative experiences, there’s a lot of culture and art that you can check out!

I spent a week in The Hague last summer and I really liked it there. It's smaller and less crowded than Amsterdam, and cycling made me feel safe and comfortable (I was too nervous to try it on the day I was in Amsterdam).

The Hague was my favorite city. Amazing art museums, shops, historical buildings, very diverse. Close to Scheveningen beach, which was really worth visiting. I had mixed feelings about safety in this place.

Quite safe, just don’t go into dodgy streets alone at night, and then you will be perfectly alright. City centre has good vibes.

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

Overall 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)

Throughout 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.

I would say that the Hague is really as safe as any other big, non-capital city in Western Europe. While being catcalled and verbally harrased does happen if you are a woman at night, I have learnt that it overall does not escalate to something more. While this also of course depends on the area of the city, in general I would say that it is pretty safe in the Hague
