Staying Safe in Rotterdam
Visitors and those residing in Rotterdam are advised to exercise caution in these districts:
Charlois:
Historically, Charlois has dealt with issues like public disturbances and drug-related crimes. While efforts are being made to revitalise the area and crime rates have improved, certain districts within Charlois, such as Zuidplein, Zuiderpark, and Zuidrand, have documented higher crime rates.
Feijenoord:
Feijenoord can become very lively and crowded, particularly around the Feyenoord stadium during and after football games. This can lead to rowdy behaviour and an increased risk of petty crime, especially after late games.
Rotterdam Centraal (City Centre/Central Station area):
As a busy area, the central station and its surrounding streets attract petty criminals like pickpockets, bag snatchers, and scammers. This is common in many major city centres due to the large crowds and tourists. While generally safe, vigilance is advised.
Spangen:
Although currently undergoing redevelopment and rejuvenation, Spangen has a history of higher crime rates compared to some other parts of Rotterdam.
Other neighborhoods sometimes mentioned for specific issues (though often with ongoing improvements):
- Bloemhof, Tarwewijk, Afrikaanderwijk, and Pendrecht: These are sometimes grouped as areas where women, in particular, might experience more street harassment, though this varies, and many areas are undergoing positive changes.
- Oude Noorden (certain streets like Zwartjanstraat or Crooswijksestraat): While Oude Noorden is generally improving, some specific streets may still have a different atmosphere than the more developed parts.
The general emergency numbers in the Netherlands are 112 (for fire and medical emergencies) and 110 for the police.
Safety Tips for Visiting Rotterdam:
While Rotterdam is generally considered a safe city, like any large urban area, some districts experience higher crime rates or are perceived as riskier. The police in Rotterdam are generally visible and responsive, and the city is constantly working on safety improvements.
For high-risk circumstances, it is always a good idea to engage a close protection service, but for moving around in the city, the usual urban safety precautions make sense.
Be aware of your surroundings.
Pay attention to anyone nearby who is paying you close attention, especially in crowded areas and on public transport.
Keep valuables secure
Keep your phone, wallet, and other valuable items close to your body and out of easy reach for pickpockets and bag snatchers, and try to avoid displaying wealth that might tempt criminals
Avoid walking alone in poorly lit or deserted areas at night
Stick to well-lit and populated streets. If you need to travel at night, consider using a taxi or a ride-sharing service. Avoid unofficial taxis and turn down unsolicited offers of a lift.
Trust your instincts
If a situation or a person makes you feel uncomfortable, remove yourself from the situation.
Let someone know your plans
Inform a friend or someone at your accommodation about where you are going and what time you expect to return.
Be cautious on public transport at night
If a carriage or compartment is empty, consider waiting for the next one or moving to sit closer to the driver or other passengers.
