Hire a bodyguard in Amsterdam who knows the city
Should you hire a bodyguard in Amsterdam? In other words, is the city safe? Is it even safe at night? These are three questions that can only be answered subjectively.
The city is famous for the many coffee shops where soft drugs are sold and the red light district, where prostitution is legal. The police authorities fight a difficult war on hard drugs in Amsterdam, but so does the Rotterdam harbour police against organized crime. The average Dutch, and there are millions of them, are not involved.
The Dutch capital ranks among the safest in the world. However, criteria such as digital security (safe cyber infrastructure) and health security (green areas and parks) are included in this index. In the Netherlands, the capital is considered the most dangerous city in the nation.
Generally, travelling to and moving around in Amsterdam for business or pleasure is safe. For both Dutch citizens and foreigners. Still, under certain circumstances, it is wise to hire professionals who know how to keep you safe. For instance, when you need to keep a low profile.
