Hasselt is a small city, calm city center but lively during the day. In the context of a small country, safety is not an issue here. People are mostly locals but there is an interternational crowd too, as Hasselt attracts tourists for biking, shopping and events. It’s also the capital of the region of Limburg and home to Hasselt University and a lot of big schools.

Hasselt is very safe! I have never had problems here. I can easily walk around or cycle home at night after having had a few drinks with friends. It’s a small city and I live in the centre where we usually don’t have any problem at all.

I feel comfortable walking around alone at night and during the day. Public transportation is safe to use. People tend to stick to themselves, but when asked a question they'll be open to help you. Hasselt is in the province Limburg, we tend to be polite and show hospitality.

Hi! I have lived in Belgium all my life. I am a mum of two young children and recently the travel jitters have flared up again. I look forward to meeting new people from all over the world.
