Is Brussels Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Brussels

It's depends of the neighborhood. Sometimes I feel safer and other times i don't. The public transport are safe enough but sometimes I do not like how men are looking at me.

It depends on where you go and how you walk, as a hijabi who goes a lot in the north station at night its not that dangerous, thankfully I have never lived any harrassement or bad experiences like that

Brussels can be a cool city but the things is that u must stay alert anyway. Be careful about how hold ur phone and also after dark u may be approached by some guy depending of the way u dress. I am sorry

Brussel is a nice city with lots of communities and diversity. You could easily make friends and have fun while being in the centrum (still gotta be safe of course). Only downside i would say is that most people, besides young people, don't talk fluent English and that the city has become kinda dangerous at night recently (especially for a woman alone).

I would say it depends in which area you are. But at night it is not safe. You should be careful taking public transport because at night it is not safe. You don’t know what will happen and also there are more people that are using drgs. But overall if you are visiting Brussels in the day and you see it, it is not unsafe you can walk freely. You have to be careful for your bag though. 😄

Brussels is mostly safe. As a woman, I do experience catcalling sometimes though, and I make sure to avoid problematic spots at night (le bois de la cambre or around la gare du nord). Other than that, it's mostly safe.

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 busy areas.
