Post new topic

Hello Everyone;

Im going to live in Rotterdam for 3 months, and before i start looking for accomodation i would like to know what areas or neighbourhoods i should avoid as a woman living alone.
I would like to find a place somewhere quiet but that i wouldnt feel scared to walk around alone.
Any Advice?
Thanks in Advance! :)

Hi, I'm here for a short time, but from what I heard, try to avoid South.

I'm living in the South and I don't experience anything weird here.

Well to be honest Rotterdam Zuid has his bad spots, but really I wouldn't call it unsafe.
But Feijenoord, Ijsselmonde, Hoogvliet are good places to live in Zuid.

I would advise to look around in the areas near the centre of Rotterdam that you would want to live in. There are no ghettos in the Netherlands ;)
