With my sister in Ams🫶 A vibrant city, and we stayed in a really nice home (the stairs were WILD but it’s really how houses are built there). I strongly recommend visiting Ams and trying local food as much as possible (local markets have some really good stands)😋
Posted: June 25, 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.
Posted: June 13, 2025Experienced: June, 2023I felt safe during the day but after it got dark it was a bit tricky since it's a really popular city among tourists. I definitely would recommend trying traditional surinamese restaurant Warung Spang Makandra.

I lived in Amsterdam for 9 month, near the centraal station (10min walk) as I was an au pair, and I had the best time of my life. Amsterdam was such a great city and even the Netherlands as the whole country are amazing. I felt mostly safe even at night, if I felt uneasy sometimes, it was bc of tourists rather than locals. Dutch may seem distant and even rude, but they are actually kindhearted. I got to visit almost all of the city, and I hadn't been disappointed at all!! Still come there about every three months bc i miss the place too much. Great experience overall!

I visited Utrecht several times already. Alone, with friends, with my dog and without my dog. I have a small dog and she is easily stressed when too much is going on. Around the central station it's busy. But the mall there is amazing! You can shop there like a queen! 🛍️ You can also see the "parking garage" for the bicycles when you go there! Definitely worth a visit. 🚲 I am vegan so I sometimes have trouble finding something to eat, but Utrecht did great with food. Hot Pot at "Momofugu" can be vegan and it tastes amazing. Also when you are in the area of Utrecht you may take a walk there. A few shops, train and bus station close by too! In another area you can see the canals! Feels like Amsterdam but less busy! The "Vegetalian" is a restaurant I can recommend too! They offer vegan, gluten free and more! 🍕 Overall I would say that with and without people around me I felt safe. The parking garage and parking in general is expensive, still less than Amsterdam tho!! Few areas I would avoid, if its night time, but at day time? I wouldn't have a problem going anywhere in Utrecht!

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:)

I had a horrible experience someone tried to steal my bag in the middle of the day in a very crowded and cental district. I hold my bag tight and saved it after I shocked people stopped and thief ran away. It was a bad experience to have.
