Nice city and safe, just keep away from the usual suspects and you'll be good.

White female, 31 yrs old. Living in Amsterdam for 7 years now, safe and sound. Can't believe the negative bs people post here. It is a very busy town with lots to do, easy to meetup with new people and yes, for a big city it is very safe, compared to other major cities.

I don't know why other "women" here post such BS.
Amsterdam is a very safe city, for women, minorities, business people, everyone.
Compared with the U.S. or southern europe it is extremely safe.

If you search for "sexual harassment in Amsterdam" you'll come across stats showing only part of the problem, because the reality is worse but we're not allowed to talk about it OR people, even women, will straight up deny it or will excuse the criminals because they're foreign.
The questions above worry about diversity but make no mention of women's safety because they do not care about what happens to us, reflecting perfectly the attitude of Dutch government and authorities alike, not to mention many Dutch people, too, including women, mind you!
If you're a woman in Amsterdam you need to be careful and if you're attractive you have to be VERY CAREFUL. The ones saying nothing ever happens to them must be unattractive or maybe they live and remain in fancy, all-white areas from where the criminals are kept out.

What a nonsense in the comments here !
I am a white woman living in Amsterdam for years without any problems at all. Full of trolls and racists here, unbelievable !

I'm a woman and have been victim to multiple crimes in Amsterdam, several women I know have, too, and men I know have, too. From sexual assault to burglary and armed robbery, the situation in Amsterdam has become unbelievable. It's like the government is working overtime to make this city a third world hell hole.
Amsterdam is no longer safe due to mass immigration. The city's a lot more like a north African ghetto than a European capital. It's sad and infuriating to see this and to know it's done on purpose.

Dude yesterday on 28. August 2021 at evening not even dark on Haarlemmerdijk street five african kids dressed like street ghetto kids, you know, standed infront of a house and a old woman went inside and two of them followed her!!! Three of them were standing outside watching. They realized we watched and one of then started whistling at us and yelling. We walked fast as possible because we realized what was going on but I hope nothing happened to her :(

You're only safe if you're not surrounded by muslims and black people, but this shouldn't come as a surprise as they're genetically more likely to rob you

I saw that a young guy (curly black hair, a light tan, I think a Morrocan) shoots another person in the chest. I was so afraid that I didn’t know what to do, so i just took a cap to my hotel.
It was at the west part of Amsterdam tho.
