Is Antwerp Safe for Women?

The city centrum is very safe, the neighbourhoods around (Harmonie, Zurenborg, Zuid, Berchem, Borgerhout, and more to the South -- Mortsel, Edegem, Wilrijk,...) as well. Not much theft or pickpocketing, almost no violent crime either. Stay away from Dam, Kiel, Linkeroever the area around Koningsplein after at night (after midnight-5am). Most likely nothing will happen to you, but there are some sketchy guys, drug dealers and not that many other people in the street.

Antwerp is very safe for tourists. Of course as in any big city you have to look out for pickpockets. Apart from that it’s a very multicultural, cosmopolitan city in which there is room for everyone.

In general, in my experience, Antwerp is a pretty safe place when it comes to violence. In case of being a woman, you can expect the usual average catcall and in clubs the harassment is average. So it’s not extremely dangerous here, but also not a 100% safe. Feel free to ask me other questions in chat! Xx

It's a pretty safe city but you just need to be aware in every city I think that's important Like don't walk alone around midnight near Kiel but most of the drug dealers leave you alone It's also always okay to ask help of strangers if you feel unsafe

Antwerp is a pretty safe place to be during the day. At night, I dont like to party in antwerp because almost every club can have cases of harassment. (That’s why I only go to queer parties <3) I’d recommend going to “De Studio”, “TRIX”, "KAVKA OUDAAN", "club capital" or “TRAUM” for a safe(r) partying environment. I'd say stay away from stadspark at night time!! To walk around at night has mostly been safe for me but I always recommend taking an e-scooter for ultimate safety!

Solo travel

I went to Antwerp with my partner, and it's truly one of my favorite cities of all time!! Amazing culture, beautiful architecture and lovely atmosphere. It's such an open minded city, I never once felt in danger. Since my partner is vegan I was scared our meal options would be pretty limited but every restaurant we went to had vegan options, even some friteries had veggie options of local delicacies! Foodie heaven. I also recommend getting the museum pass if you want to see the more cultural aspect of the city. It's around 70 euros and you get free entry to almost every cultural spot in Belgium for an entire year! Super worth it even for a one week stay.
