Areas with comparable safety profiles for solo female travelers
The Eastern Islands have maritime museums and waterfront views in a modern, safe area. Good alternative to the busy center if you're interested in museums and harbor scenery.
Leidseplein has good entertainment but comes with nightlife risks like pickpockets and crowds. Fine for shows and cultural stuff during the day, but better to go with others at night.
De Pijp has Amsterdam's busiest market and best international food scene. Pickpockets work the crowds hard, but good foot traffic makes it feel safe. Great solo dining options if you avoid the market area.
