Is Brussels Safe for Women?

Kinda safe but it will feel dangerous at night specially in winter. But in summer will be much more better. There are a lot of homeless on the street side, in the store or on the metro. Remember ignore them

Not the safest city, I can say very dangerous even during the day, not only one time I was asked by guys during the walk home at evening “do you wanna go to my house, what if you have a boyfriend?” ; not only one time my phone was about to be stolen; not only one time I was harassed by bums in metro for not giving them money …

Brussels is a relatively safe city, but its the capital of both Belgium and Europe, so there is a certain level of crime. The past few months tensions have been high in the centre due to daily protests for Palestina, 2 stbbings happened in 2 weeks. There are some places near Bruxelles Midi where drugscriminals rule, but all in all Brussels is not a city i would qualify as dangerous as loads of US cities. Inform yourself, stay safe and you will have a wonderful time

I went to Brussel some times and i didn't feel like in a safe place. I saw drug dealer sold their drugs in front of the police. Some guys whistled at me and approached inappropriately in the street. The entire city is not like that i know it. But now i feel a bit stressed when i go there.

It s depends on the place where you havé to be careful , but in général We feel so safe. You can always have to be careful. People are Nice, We can talk to People easily. You can visit the city in peace without judgment.

Solo travel

I spent 2,5 days in Brussels and half a day in Bruges. I loved the European District, especially the House of European History, the Parlamentarium and the Hemicycle visit. If you're interested in politics or history, it's definitely worth a visit. I stayed at IBIS (city centre) and felt quite safe, though I was overly careful after reading reviews about how unsafe Brussels is supposed to be. The only place I felt worried was Brussels Midi Train Station. People were begging in front of the escalators, in such a way that you can hardly get off the escalator without them being directly in your face. There is a high police presence at this train station though, so in spite of my experience, I did not feel genuinely unsafe. I would, however, keep a closer look on my belongings in this area. I had to ask for directions in Brussels a few times and people were always kind and helpful. One more thing: If you take the underground, be aware that they have multiple lines driving on the same tracks at the same platform! Make sure you get on the right train.
