Be Cautious in These Areas
Amsterdam is generally a safe city, consistently ranking among the safest in Europe, with a low overall crime rate. However, like any major tourist destination, certain areas need extra caution due to petty crime like pickpocketing, scams, or occasional anti-social behaviour.
De Wallen (Red Light District, Centrum
The Red Light District is a major tourist hotspot, attracting large crowds, which makes it a prime target for pickpockets, especially at night. Scammers may also target distracted tourists
Bijlmer (Amsterdam Zuidoost)
Bijlmer, particularly areas like Nellestein and Reigersbos/Amstel III/Bullewijk, has higher reported crime rates compared to other parts of Amsterdam, including muggings involving threats.
Oude Zijde and Nieuwe Zijde (Centrum)
These areas, near Dam Square and Central Station, are busy, chaotic, and crowded with tourists, making them prime targets for pickpockets. Streets like Damrak and Zeedijk are also known for petty crime.
Nieuwendammerham (Amsterdam-Noord)
This industrial zone lacks tourist attractions and can feel isolated, with a reputation for being unsafe to venture into after dark
General Safety Tips for Amsterdam
By staying vigilant, sticking to well-populated areas and observing normal urban safety precautions, visitors can safely enjoy everything that Amsterdam has to offer. If you have specific concerns or need advice for a particular concern, contact our team for free advice and guidance.
- Avoid Isolated Areas at Night: Stick to well-lit, populated areas, especially in less touristy neighbourhoods.
- Only carry copies of your important documents. Leave the originals in safe storage
- If you need cash, stick to the official ATMs provided by banks and preferably use one inside the premises.
- Secure Valuables: Use a money belt or hidden pouch, and avoid flashing expensive items like phones or cameras, especially in crowded areas like Central Station or the Red Light District.
- Be Cautious with Substances: In coffee shops, consume cannabis or truffles cautiously, as they can be potent. Avoid buying drugs from street dealers, as this is illegal and risky.
- Stay Aware of Surroundings: Pickpockets often work in teams to distract tourists. Be wary of strangers asking for directions or causing distractions
- Use Reputable Transport: Public transport is generally safe, but keep bags close on trams, buses, and metros, especially in central areas. Do not accept unsolicited offers of a lift.
