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!

There 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

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 🫂💖

About me
Hi :) I am Alex, traveling by train from France to North Norway. I am a sign language interpreter but I continue studying political sciences because I am a very curious person and I wish to understand the world better. I had a great time in Amsterdam couchsurfing so I want to couchsurf again because it was awsome to meet new people. I'm a friendly and chill person, I love to meet knew people and spend time with others. I enjoy a lot visiting museums and monuments, learning the history of a place, learning languages, study sociology, psychology, cinema, reading books, talking about politics etc etc... I would love you to contact me so I can discover you and your city !
