South-east Rotterdam, including Lombardijen. Rotterdam runs a Veiligheidsindex as part of its Wijkprofiel, built from crime and nuisance figures together with a survey of around 30,000 residents between March and October 2025. Citywide it fell from 110 in 2022 to 104 in 2026, with the perception of safety dropping faster than the recorded figures. Lombardijen is one of the three focus areas whose safety index rose beyond the council's expectations in 2026. Post-war residential, away from anything a visitor comes for.

Search accommodation here on Booking.com →
Booking.com has no separate search area for this neighbourhood, so this link searches the whole city rather than just this area.
This rating comes from a structured local-source assessment. This specific area was reviewed against credible local sources — local and national news, municipal and police-published material, and official surveys where they exist — and the signals were consolidated across sources rather than taken from any single report, with the reasoning and the sources shown above. Rotterdam publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does publish one, Wandroz uses it instead of an assessment. Where a review finds nothing documented, that is recorded as no findings rather than as a safety rating.
Frequently asked questions
Is IJsselmonde safe?
Wandroz currently rates IJsselmonde in Rotterdam as an area where the review found nothing traveller-relevant to report, both by day and after dark. This comes from a structured local-source assessment: an area-level review of credible local sources — local and national news, municipal and police-published material, and official surveys where they exist — consolidated across sources rather than taken from a single report. Rotterdam publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does, Wandroz uses it instead.
Is IJsselmonde safe at night?
At night, IJsselmonde is rated as an area where the review found nothing traveller-relevant to report. If you're unsure, it's worth checking recent local reviews for your specific street or block, since a neighbourhood-wide rating can't capture block-by-block variation.
Is IJsselmonde a good area to stay in as a tourist?
IJsselmonde's day rating (an area where the review found nothing traveller-relevant to report) is the more relevant one for typical daytime tourist activity; check the night rating too if you'll be out late. Note that the Booking.com link on this page searches Rotterdam, not IJsselmonde specifically: Booking does not list this neighbourhood as a destination of its own, so check each property's address against the map above.
Is there official crime data for IJsselmonde?
Not an official government crime feed — IJsselmonde's rating comes from Wandroz's own current local/national press and survey research for this specific area instead (see the note on this page for what was checked and the sources used). An absence of recent negative coverage is treated as inconclusive, not as proof the area is safe. If you live in or know IJsselmonde well, you can suggest a correction using the link below.
