Jordaan has the prettiest canals and most authentic Amsterdam feel, though it's getting touristy. Safe to walk around with good markets and traditional brown cafes. Watch for bikes on the narrow streets.
Plantage is quiet and safe with gardens, a zoo, and museums. Good if you want a peaceful base away from the crowds but still with things to see. Very safe for solo women.
The Vondelpark Area is peaceful and safe with easy park access. Good choice if you want relaxation and outdoor space while staying close to museums and other attractions.
