Hello, all and firstly happy weekend everyone.
In light of the recent attack in De Wallen, I would like to get recent visitors thoughts on the general safety walking around solo after 10pm in the RLD. From what I gather there is less of a local Police presence due to cut backs. Apparently the local Police station that was situated close to De Wallen has been transfered to Nieuwezijdsvoorburgwal. I recall in the earlier years circa 2001 / 2003 there was an agressive presence of street drug dealers harassing tourists. Many of these from what I remember where of African / Surinam origin.
Some say the bars are closing earlier resulting in more drunk agressive people hanging about.
This problem seemed to be under control around 2012 and just want to know what the general atmosphere is like now as I travelling solo soon.
Here is a video I saw of two young british lads saying how they were harassed
