You're only safe if you're not surrounded by muslims and black people, but this shouldn't come as a surprise as they're genetically more likely to rob you

I saw that a young guy (curly black hair, a light tan, I think a Morrocan) shoots another person in the chest. I was so afraid that I didn’t know what to do, so i just took a cap to my hotel.
It was at the west part of Amsterdam tho.

Amsterdam is absolutely unsafe. It became a mecca for organized criminality and the totally incompetent major and her administration are unable to fight it cause they are total incompetents ! What the city needs it someone with real balls taking all the scum and possibly dropping them from an airplane in open sea. Crimes are on the rise enormously and almost every day there is a shooting or hand grenades left around the city or an attempt to rob an ATM.

This is not a city it is a toilette and who says the opposite is some millionaire living in the top neighborhoods.

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.
