Areas with comparable safety profiles for solo female travelers
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.
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.
Postcard Amsterdam with the famous canals and tilted houses. Beautiful but touristy with high prices. Watch for bikes on narrow sidewalks and keep GPS handy - easy to get lost in the canal maze.
