Stay Safe in These Areas

Eindhoven generally has a good safety record, and serious incidents are rare. There are still a few districts where visitors should exercise a bit more caution, particularly at night or if unfamiliar with the surroundings.


Oud-Woensel and Vaartbroek: These areas are experiencing higher rates of drug-related crime, prostitution, and burglaries. There have also been mentions of issues with criminal gangs and young people causing disturbances, which can make visitors feel unsafe.

Areas around Kruisstraat (including Gildebuurt and Limbeek): The area around the Kruisstraat market is sometimes flagged as an area where caution is warranted due to criminal activity.

Doornakkers and Bennekel: These are older, more deprived neighbourhoods compared to the rest of the city, and while some parts have been modernised, they experience the levels of poverty that can cause crime to rise

Woensel-West and parts of Woensel-Zuid: While Woensel-Zuid is known for being a settled area, Woensel-West still has some “problem hotspots” that visitors should be aware of.

In an emergency

You should call 112 in any life-threatening situation or if you witness a serious crime. This number connects you to all emergency services:

General Safety Tips for Eindhoven

Eindhoven is generally considered a safe city in the Netherlands, but like any busy city,

  • Be Aware of Your Surroundings: This is crucial everywhere, but especially in less familiar areas or at night.
  • Secure Valuables: Keep a close eye on your belongings, especially in crowded areas or on public transportation.
  • Avoid Walking Alone at Night: If possible, especially in less familiar neighbourhoods.
  • Use Reputable Transportation: Opt for taxis or well-lit public transport routes.
  • Trust Your Instincts: If a situation or area feels uncomfortable, it’s best to leave.

Drugs awareness

The Netherlands, including the region of Eindhoven, is known as a major hub for the production, trafficking, and consumption of various illicit drugs, particularly synthetic drugs like MDMA (ecstasy) and amphetamines, as well as being part of a transit route for cocaine and heroin.

Unlike some southern cities near the borders, Eindhoven does allow tourists to purchase cannabis in its coffeeshops. If you intend to buy and use cannabis in a coffee shop, you should be aware that Dutch cannabis can be a safety consideration, as it may be much stronger than you expect.
