I’ve been thinking about planning a trip to Amsterdam, especially with its beautiful parks and iconic canals. However, I’ve come across mixed opinions about safety in the city this year. Some friends have raised concerns about petty crime in certain areas, and I’ve seen news stories about tensions between locals and tourists. It’s tough to get a clear picture of what’s really going on.
If you’ve visited recently or are currently living in Amsterdam, how’s the vibe there? Are there specific neighborhoods I should steer clear of, or is it generally safe to stick to popular tourist spots? I’d appreciate any tips on staying safe while enjoying the outdoor attractions!
