Is Rotterdam Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

I was in Rotterdam in the Sommer and I felt really safe. City is really nice, but you can see most of it in one day. I went to the two hours cruse with boat , and I was disappointed. They show you just the Industry side of the city.

Unic experience, it’s really safe city. I traveled solo and the people are friendly.Rotterdam offers a surprising mix of historic charm and modern style. Explore iconic places like the houses of Kubus, Markthal and Erasmusbrug, immerse yourself in maritime history in the Maritime Museum, sway through trendy neighborhoods like Witte de With and enjoy the lively atmosphere of paradise. You'll find world-class art galleries, delicious dishes and a lively nightlife, which makes Rotterdam a truly charming destination.

I really fell in love with Rotterdam. It is safe to visit at night and each building is an architectural marvel. It's a bit expensive city, but it's an enjoyable place.People are kind and most people speak English.

Rotterdam is a wonderful city to visit. Due to the fact the city was almost flattened during the WW2, the city is modern and well laid out with many attractions within walking distance. The Museums are beautiful, well worth spending the time to visit, the shopping in the city is AMAZING, the harbours are lovely and there are many fantastic restaurants as well. Tip, go to the tourist info centre and grab a walking tour map, but also buy a proper map of Rotterdam so you can get your bearings. Do a bit of research so you can use the Metro transport system, it is easy once you get your head around it, and the trams in the city are a great way to get around all of the sights if you don't want to walk. Make sure you go to the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, it is in my opinion superior to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and a whole lot less crowded, they have a brilliant and eclectic collection. If you want to duck into Amsterdam, go by the fast FYRA train, it will get you there in around 45 minutes and leaves every 30 minutes.

I went to Rotterdam for a one-day trip and I was very pleased with that. However, one day is definitely enough time to see everything. They have cool bridges to explore, along with the observation tower (Euromast), and the cubic houses were interesting. Excellent food and great people.

I went to Rotterdam for 4 nights last summer and had a great time. There weren't many attractions as such, but I met a lot of nice people at my hostel. I really had a great time. I also went on a one-day trip to see the large windmills in Kinderdijk, which I highly recommend.

Solo travel

To do: - Cubic Houses - Market Hall - Central Station - Willems Bridge - Erasmus Bridge - Euromast - Markthal Security: There are no safety issues. Accommodation: I stayed at the King Kong hostel. Great place with very friendly people. The place is also very clean and well located. Recommendations: Water taxi rides are great fun and can give you a fantastic view of the city from the water.

Solo travel

To do: - Visit cube houses - See Erasmusbrug Bridge - Experience Remastered - Walk across the Erasmus Bridge - Admire the cityscape from the Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen Safety: I felt safe all the time. Budget: I stayed at ROOM hostel. The hostel was clean, well decorated, and comfortable. I definitely recommend it. Recommendations: Rotterdam is an easy day trip from Amsterdam (it's like half an hour by train), so it's definitely worth a visit.

Overall, the city is pretty safe. There are some areas best avoided due to their reputation, but if you stick to popular spots, you'll be fine. That said, at night, I sometimes get uncomfortable comments from a few men on the street...especially depending on what I’m wearing, unfortunately

Rotterdam is a relatively safe city, then again it is a big city and walking home late at night you can make strange encounters. It is also a matter of which areas you are in (the south is a bit more unsafe). That being said, I have never had any truly bad experiences in 5 years of living in Rotterdam.
