Safety in Amsterdam: tips for tourists

Ensure that you keep a close eye on your personal belongings, including your camera, wallet, and other valuables, as like any major city, Amsterdam is known for having pickpockets.

When walking on the streets, avoid using the bike lanes, as local cycling enthusiasts can react negatively to pedestrians in these areas.

It's important not to purchase light drugs from random vendors on the streets. Instead, if you're interested, make such purchases only from official coffeeshops.

While strolling through the Red Light District, it's advisable to refrain from taking photos, as the individuals working there may react negatively, and your camera could potentially end up in one of the canals.

If you plan to visit Amsterdam in winter, there's no need to bring fur coats. Firstly, the city tends to be warm during this season, and secondly, it's worth noting that Greenpeace and animal activists are quite active in the area.
