It looks like some people find pleasure in posting BS here anonymously.

I am a young woman walking around alone, everywhere anytime, without any problems for years.

Utrecht is a very safe city !

Had to leave this city due to being robbed, my girlfriend having problems with musl1m women and men in the supermarket/randomly in the street and personally seeing several confrontations between the same type of "people" with other foreigners or with Dutch people; clarifying that none of the last two groups (non-musl1m foreigners or Dutch) did anything special to bother the other kind (musl1ms). There are some parts in the city that feel like a slum in the Middle East rather than an European city. Even my employer advised to leave the office no later than 4pm to avoid bad experiences. Heck, we know of a foreign woman being dragged out of the bus by these specimens to do her who-knows-what. Luckily her husband and other Dutch men helped her.

What a nonsense in the comments. You can safely walk all parts of Utrecht at night, unless you wear a big israeli flag or insult other religions. Gay people are also extremely safe in the Netherlands, you would have to dress up all pink or rainbow colors and run into a mosque to get beaten up.

@Piotr, Especially Overvecht, Kanaleneiland and some parts of Zuilen, Ondiep and Lombok (in particular Kanaalstraat).

Hi Vincent, what are areas with high presence of Islamic immigrants?
Vincent on Jun 01, 2021:
In general it's a very safe city, especially during the day. A little caution is advised when walking through bad neighbourhoods at night. Due the high presence of Islamic migrants in certain neighbourhoods I would discourage to be visibly gay or Jewish in those places.
