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!

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.

Brussels is generally safe during the day, but the city center can feel less comfortable at night, especially in quieter or less busy areas. It’s best to stay in well-lit, lively places and be mindful of your surroundings. Like in any big city, pickpocketing can happen, so just take normal precautions.
Posted: April 15, 2026There is always some kind person who can help you if you have a problem you just need to ask. For sure you will be in safety.  Sometimes we have just one drink guy who can be annoying in the centre you have a lot of shops who can protect you

Brussels can feel unsafe for women, especially at night: some outer districts and empty streets have a tense atmosphere, there is more harassment and pickpocketing risk, so it’s better not to walk alone
Posted: March 25, 2026I would consider Beussels relatively safe especially for queer people. Some awkward stares but other than that it's okay! Maybe some areas are to avoid but I have not had any issues personally as a queer POC

Hello! ☺️ my name is Gesmina old and I’m originally from Greece 🇬🇷 but I live in Brussels, Belgium 🇧🇪 and I work in the Healthcare Policy (you guessed it, politics )! I LOVEEEEE traveling and meeting new people and understanding their culture and language. I really enjoy and appreciate art as I used to paint (trying to get back to it, and favorite inspiration being Van Gogh and René Magritte). I have lived in London for 5 years before moving to Belgium, where I studied psychology and then did a masters in International Politics. I love exploring and experiencing life to the fullest! You only get to live once so make sure you live it by your own rules and you enjoy it! If my friends had to describe me they would say I’m very energetic but I also enjoy a relaxing time with lovely conversations about all kids of topics, I’m very creative and I come up with fun activities on the spot if asked. i can’t wait to meet likeminded people in here and share life experiences and fun stories 😊
