Is Achterdam crowded by tourists or it's a place for "locals"?
I went there on a Saturday night in the winter last year, I'm guessing that I was the only 'tourist' there. There was definetly no packs of lads on a night out or guide-led groups of tourists.

Is it a safe place as the Wallen is?
I don't ever think as the Wallen as being safe with all the drugs addicts and general undersirables that hang around. Although with all the tourists there, I guess that there is some kind of safety in numbers!
In Achterdam I would say that it would appear to be generally safer, with no undesireables about, although there were a few menacing looking Turkish men hanging around (I assumed that they were pimps), I don't know if they ever gave any of the customers trouble. Although I didn't see any Police wandering through, so if there was any trouble, I don't know what would happen.
