Amsterdam, Netherlands
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.
Leidseplein is the main nightlife area with theaters, music venues, and restaurants. It gets crowded and has pickpockets, plus the party atmosphere can get intense. Well-patrolled but solo women should stay alert, especially at night.

Areas with comparable safety profiles for solo female travelers
The city center has all the main attractions and good transport links, but it's crowded with pickpockets and tourist scams. Fine for daytime sightseeing if you stay aware, but probably not where you want to spend all your time.
Amsterdam Noord is creative and alternative with art, cheap eats, and cultural spaces. Good for budget travelers who want something different from tourist Amsterdam. Easy ferry access to the center.
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.
