Is Brussels Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Brussels

Brussels is Safe enough ! As in any city, things can happen but les than 1% chance of. As everywhere it is important to pay attention at night or empty areas. If you come to Brussels, I can inform you on places where to go or not.

Brussels transport is very safe and poeple are so nice so it's easy to ask for help. There are stickers on some doors that indicate where you can knock if someone follows you. So even at night poeple mind their own buissnes

I would say that if you stay in the city center or close, in safe neighborhoods it’s definetely quite safe during the day. Avoid Gare du Nord especially at night. Be very careful at your belongings especially in the city center you might get your phone stolen if you leave your bag open for exemple

I guess it's safe I just am paranoid but it's a big city and capital so of course it's scary. Nothing never really happened to expect for guys coming and talk but I think I'm scary for them too I'm tall and to sacred of talking back .

depends on where you go, where I live it is mostly student so it’s safe but there’s other place that you don’t wanna go ! just the public transport at night I’m stressed about it but other things are fine

Safety is moderate. In the livelier parts of Brussels, it feels rather safe, but do not deviate too much from those areas. There are a lot of people in bars and public transport at any hour of the day. Criminality varies significantly depending on the area of Brussels.

You can get around Brussels quite easily without feeling in danger. It is a fairly small city where everything is quite accessible by public transport. In the city center, I suggest you still be cautious of pickpockets, as in all big cities.

Feeling very safe in Brussels - except for walking alone at night in certain neighbourhoods. Public transportation is quite safe, you have some drunk people but none that do harm. There is pickpockets though, so be careful.

Brussels is a nice city to visit and pretty safe during the day and evening. I do recommend not to walk alone at night, certainly in some neighbourhoods but in general the centre of the city ( the main roads and squares) are very safe.

I feel safe in general but it depends on the neighborhood… nothing ever happened to me personally, but some (male) friends got their belongings stolen violently. You could feel unsafe mainly in train stations.

Solo travel

I visited Belgium and stayed in Brussels with a friend. I explored the Grand Place, tasted amazing chocolates and waffles, and enjoyed the vibrant culture and beautiful architecture. It was unforgettable!

Solo travel

I spent two days in Brussels as a young woman alone. I stayed in a hostel near the center. In general it was very nice. The city was very chaotic and especially near the Midi station and in the non-tourist neighborhoods you have to be careful and I don't recommend going out alone at night. But in general I didn't have a bad experience.
