Brussels is very pretty city, it is like a transaction point of two cultures and it was lovely to even just walk around the city, yet as the sun goes down it is a good idea to be little more careful, especially if you are close to Brussels north or Brussels midi, stay safe 🐰💕

Only spent 1 day in Brussels but it was so beautiful. There's so many historical buildings that are breathtaking. However, there are a lot of homeless people asking for money on every street, there was a young girl in kfc going to every table asking for change.

I fell in love with this town! It is so beautiful, a blend of London, New York, and Paris. It has so many beautiful places to go. The prices are moderate, almost same throughout the Europe. Food is delicious!

Overall Brussels is safe and in my 7 years of living here I have never had any problems. But just like any European city be cautions about your belongings and don’t go to sketchy neighborhoods late at night.
Posted: March 6, 2026It is safe but you gotta be careful with your luggage or handbags. When you come to the north of Brussels, make sure to always check your stuffs as there are pickpockets. Other than that, Brussels is safe don’t worry.
Posted: March 5, 2026I’ve been here for a month and felt very safe so far, but I have never been to the “dangerous” neighbourhoods, so I can’t really tell. Sine I’m from Brazil my notion of safety is different from people who live in Europe

About me
Hi! I am an Italian girl living in Brussels since 2022. I work full time on social policies and mostly from home. I can give some tips on the city and host, but sometimes I will be too busy to show you around. I decided to join the group to help boycotting other platforms and to offer a safe space for other women 🫂💖
