Is Amsterdam a safe place for a woman to travel alone?

It's fine and no worse or better than any other major European city, and I have seen many of the major ones alone because of flying in the previous day due to business and having a look around by myself (also female)

I used to live on the outskirts of Amsterdam and have travelled around on my own endlessly without any problems at all

There are certain areas which are, let's say, less than desirable but these are not the areas which tourists frequent anyway. So if you are just visiting the centre then you will be just fine. The only place that you might consider avoiding after dark is the Red Light District. Safety-wise it's not usually a hotbed of crime or anything (actually there is a higher police presence there than most people are aware of anyway), but some females understandably don't like the atmosphere of mainly males gawping at the windows there.

The only other warning is one I would say for all tourists and indeed most/all major cities these days because unfortunately Amsterdam is not exception. Keep all your valuables well conceled and very safe to your person. Unfortunately pickpocketing does happen despite all the warnings, notices and awareness programs.

Other than that, just come to Amsterdam and enjoy!

Amsterdam is not dangerous.

Just do what you would do in any other city. Make sure your bag is closed and always watch it carefully, always watch your drinks, don't do drugs, don't go home with strangers, don't drink too much.

During the day there are always people around so don't worry about that.

Some people here seem to think foreigners are dangerous so I hope you know that's not true.

Amsterdam is pretty safe even at night. There are some neighborhoods to avoid but there is absolutely nothing to see there. (South east, everything in west that isn't oud-west or between center and westerpark. The other neighborhoods are all pretty safe.) There are lots of people on the streets at night, especially in the city center.

You really don't have to worry about anything. I'm a 19 year old girl and nothing ever happened to me (or any of my friends) here. We all just use our common sense and we're fine.

In Amsterdam is a broad spectral range of attractions for recreational and national sightseeing. They vary from fascinating old buildings, like the Oude Kerk, to oddities like the Hash

Is being homestead on my own secure? the way i check out it, something can ensue everywhere at each and every time, yet we can't existence a in a bubble and scared. convinced there is prostitution, that doesn't make it risky. in simple terms be responsive to the position you go,and alwayys be round many human beings protection in numbers. and luxuriate on your existence.

Honestly, you don't need to worry about your safety. A'dam is very safe. Especially public transportation. Usually clean, timely, and well lit.

^^^ wow that troll above me needs to stop being a jerk.

Muslim Men will not rape you dear.

They don't like seeing woman with too much skin.

Stay away from places where drugs are sold and avoid empty streets at night.

Its pretty much like any big city in the world.

Avoid the east and west outskirts of the city after dark, especially if you're white. Rest should be about as safe as any other big european city.

It was 30 years ago, but you'll have more fun if you can pair-up with someone.

i totally agree with the girlie above me
