Is Alkmaar safe for solo female travelers?

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

I’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.

Alkmaar is a little city in the netherlands, it is about 35 minutes from amsterdam. It is famous for the cheese market and the beautiful old centre. It is a very safe place with lots of greenery and families living there!

The city centre holds a significant amount of history and is enjoyable both during the day and in the evening. While areas like Overdie and Hoefplan may be perceived as less desirable by some, they're not as bad as they seem especially nowadays. Though, there isn't much to do or see over there.
