It's a small city with elderly people, very green, and the younger population is very gentle and respectful. I've never afraid of go out alone during the night or have my house or things stolen. There's a lot of family's here with childrens and some tourist spots to see and visit museum.

It’s really safe you can walk alone daytime but also night time. I never really feel unsafe in the city or in the streets close to the city. There is always security at bars and clubs who will protect you if they feel like it’s needed or you tell them you need it.

S hertogenbosch is a very beautiful and safe town. It is no problem to walk alone during the day or at night. Public transports are very safe too. It is also really enjoyable to be biking in the city I have never been bothered by anyone I would recommend travelling here

About me

Hey! I'm Lorena, from Brazil. I'm 24 years and am currently living in the Netherlands for a entire year as an Au Pair. I usually have the weekends free to explore all the cities in the NL and also make short trips to Belgium, Germany or even Luxembourg. I also can receive someone at my house, in Den Bosch. When my host family go travel, I have a free time to travel far away, and this time (from July 20th-26th) I will travel around France and Italy, I would love to meet a travel buddy or someone that is in these places to meet and explore, eat and take amazing photos! My city plans: Paris - Colmar - Milan - Verona - Venice - Rome
