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!

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...

Solo travel

Brussels is an amazing city, so lively full of different culture and people. Everyone speaks English but the avarege life is pretty expensive especially the food. I will suggest to visit the Art Noveau houses and the gardens (there are many and all amazing). It's actually a pretty safe city but still be careful walking alone at night.

Solo travel

I visited Brussels recently and overall had a good experience. I felt mostly safe during the day, but in the evenings, I noticed a lot of groups of men walking around the city center, which made me feel a bit uncomfortable as a solo female traveler. That being said, the city itself is beautiful, full of historic architecture and great museums. I highly recommend visiting Grand Place, Atomium, and trying the local waffles and fries—they’re amazing. If you’re planning a short trip, 2–3 days are enough to cover the main sights. I’d suggest avoiding late evening walks alone, especially in less...

Group travel

In the center, I felt safer but even near the center in the night I did not feel safe. I spent 70€ more than I expected there, including the shuttle from airport to center, 20€ each. Waffle was great in Maison dandoy but it was not cheap, and I don’t recommend the waffle factory although it is a cheaper place, it didn’t fulfill my expectations and taste and texture wasn’t good. We were not sure whether to go to Magritte Museum, but we end up loving it and spent 2.5 hours there. If you’re into art, %100 recommend.

Brussels is a safe city as long as you don’t stay around the areas affected by drug dealing issues (near Gare du midi, anderlecht, gare du nord, the city center) The east and south of brussels are much safer and you can do lots of different activities : go on walks in parks, restaurants, bars etc. There’s always something to do around the city and you would never be bored

Brussels is quite safe for women solo travellers, best stay in southern districts (Ixelles, St Gilles, Uccle, most of the Center and Forest ) and avoid the areas outside of the train stations Brussels Midi and Brussels North. I have been living here for over 15 years, often moving around solo. After 23h some areas and public transport can get quite sketchy / unpleasant, but not really dangerous.

In general the city centre (Brussels-central) is quit safe. Outside are beggars but they aren't harmful. Whenever I go out with friends I usually have to take the train back home around 22:00 and it's never been an issue. (I've studied and worked here). Another safe neighbourhood is Ixelles-Etterbeek with nice food spots and café's (a neighbourhood for students/families). I would avoid taking the tram outside at Brussels-midi station and also avoid Rue Brabant at Brussels-North. Keep an eye on your belongings and also if you're gut feeling says this person isn't good trust it and stay away!...

As a woman we know it’s often not safe to travel. Brussels is quite popular and safe to walk around, during the night included. The center is a bit more crowded and busy but overall ok. People are friendly and city quite small

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
