I think that Hasselt is overall a very safe city, because it isn’t big. You can find some strange people here from time to time, but nothing to be really scared about. Some people might say weird things but they won’t harm u.

Overall safe, even at night. Maybe only the train station is better to be avoided after dark, because there potentially could be drunk man, like 2 or 3 of them (only sometimes). I still wouldn't worry to much about it
Posted: May 12, 2025Hasselt is generally a safe city with a low crime rate. Violent crimes are rare, and it is safe for women and tourists. It is also a fun city, where there is always something to do, which is why there are always plenty of people present in the city. If you go to town to party at night on weekends, you will also encounter people of all ages. The only thing that might be considered dangerous is the train station, this is because drugs are more common here and there are homeless people. Otherwise, Hasselt is very safe.
Posted: March 12, 2025Hasselt is a very safe city. Of course you always have to be aware of your surroundings, and maybe some areas can be slightly less safe than others, but in general Hasselt is one of the safest cities in Belgium. It’s not a big city like Antwerp or Brussels, and there aren’t as many tourists. The crime rate is also very low and most people are friendly and helpful. Because it’s a small and calm city, the streets can be quite empty and dark when you’re walking alone at night, but I’ve never experienced harassment or felt unsafe.
Posted: January 11, 2025Hasselt is a small city that is clean, calm and very safe. I feel completely safe as a young woman of 25. Ofcourse you occasionally bump in to men going out or partying, but I have had anyone even talk to me that I did not want to in 5 years of living these.
