It is safe, but there are also some men who like to harras women from time to time. Sometimes, I will see people who use drugs or drink alcohol on the streets. That makes me feel unsafe. Also I have been stalked one time.

Alkmaar is pretty safe! And beautiful city! But I mean every city nowadays has some bad spots or some cracks. Therefore I would say it’s a pretty safe city but always make sure that you feel comfortable and be online with someone
Posted: December 30, 2024I’ve lived here almost 20 years and the worst I’ve experienced is some occasional catcalling. I’ve never been followed or physically/sexually assaulted or harassed in public here. In the outskirts of the city (Overdie, De Mare/Daalmeer etc.) some crime can happen, so I would recommend not going there alone at night. Otherwise I would say the city is perfectly safe to be in.
