Im from Holland and trust me, Amsterdam is safe. Just some regular crimes that are committed in every city. Enjoy your stay!

Went to Amsterdam back in September, the city was very safe when I visited nothing wrong with Amsterdam at all and didn't see any crimes being committed. Only thing was drunken tourists being loud and singing at 3AM in the streets and pissing in the canals. For once they wasn't us (British). To top it off I saw no Muslims or minorities in Amsterdam compared to most European cities where it's destroying the culture. Amsterdam is a must for a holiday. Amadi Park Hotel is a great place to stay.

People dealing and using drugs is a moderate problem in Amsterdam? Yeah right

Most parts of the city are safe. Just stay away from certain neighbourhoods at night (Bijlmer, Osdorp for example). Stay away from groups of young North-African men at night. They're quite harmless most of the time, but they've tried to kick/punch me off off my bike a couple of times.

My boyfriend and I spent a week there in July and we felt relatively safe. We have been to the city centre also during the night a few times and it was all fine. We have noticed though the high population of Arabs and black people, with especially the Arabic looking guys appearing to be very confident, loud and semi-aggressive, trying to intimidate people just by their demeanour. Its a shame because Amsterdam is such a beautiful city and its sad to see this transformation there and also in so many other European cities.

They leave out aggression against gays because it is mostly comitted by muslim men and Dutch are affraid of infuriating muslims. This pathetic stance and their lack of will to stop muslim infestation is the main reason for the destruction of the Dutch culture. Just look around Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Gouda, and other places infested by muslims. It's a mess.

Hi.. I've just noticed that your page has excluded two major elements of safety within the city of Amsterdam. I'm a dutch gay woman and have experienced many accounts of assault and sexual assault because of my gender and sexual orientation. I'm shocked to find that neither of these are a topic in your statistics as they are a major problem within the city. The reason that had drawn me to the page to begin with is that on the Sunday 21st may I experienced two violating and humiliating experiences on account of my gender/sexuality, one of them was inside of a bar when both my girlfriend and I after seeking toilet facilities (they're only facilitate for males) we had to go into a bar where a group of man obstructed the pathway to walk thought forcing us to push through a wall of drunk, sexually charged and verbally abusive men. The second assault happened near the relight district where I had taken my girlfriend to people watch and see the other side of Amsterdam. Not that it matters but to curb the obvious imagination, I don't drink alcohol, these where sober experiences. When leaving the district on Oudezijdsachterburgwal while walking past a group of 4 man one reached out and aggressively grabbed my buttocks. Crime against women and crime against sexuality are very much present in the city and I think you should update your website to include this.
