Really nice to be for everyone and lots of students. Very authentically dutch. Some crime but not much. Lots of different cultures. Sometimes large groups of men in the city center, best to walk around them, not agressive. Not alot of homeless people.
Posted: October 20, 2025It’s fairly safe although there are some very small alleys in the city that I would avoid at night. Just use common sense basically and avoid certain places in the dark. Otherwise haven’t really experienced any trouble

I think Zwolle is a safe town. It’s nothing like Amsterdam. People living here gave an average score of 7,4 out of 10. Sometimes bad things happen, but the frequency is low. I feel pretty safe here myself.
Posted: January 10, 2025I personally experience Zwolle as a pretty safe city. I generally feel comfortable, although there is one neighborhood that I’m personally not a hundred percent comfortable walking through at night, but I cycle through without any worries. That neighborhood is called “holtenbroek”.

Zwolle is a friendly, cozy city. I have not had any negative experiences yet. However I am always attentive, no matter where I am. Sometimes I feel like going for a walk in the evening, I feel safe then, but I would not recommend walking in parks or forest nearby the center during night times.

: Hello! I’m Astrid ( aka the Ginger) a passionate vegan chef and the founder of Culinaire Connectie, where I craft plant-based meals that celebrate flavor and creativity. Alongside running my business, I work as a caretaker for children, a role that brings me immense joy and purpose. When I’m not in the kitchen or caring for little ones, you’ll likely find me out hiking through nature, diving into new underwater worlds, or spinning to the rhythm of Cuban salsa. I’m always up for meeting new people, sharing stories, and building connections over good food and good vibes. Every month, I love hosting dinners for friends, bringing people together through delicious, plant-based dishes that I create. Looking forward to connecting and sharing a meal (or dance!) soon!
