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.

About Me

I am Wendy, a 51 years old teacher, living in Hasselt (Belgium), a small city at 1h from Antwerp, Brussels … After 23 years marriage I’m single again and I have decided to travel the world. I have never travelled alone so it will soon be my first experience. It scares me a bit but in the meantime I’m looking forward to meet new people, other cultures and habits and rediscover ‘myself’. I have two ‘kids’ of 19 and 23 years old who support my dream of traveling solo a few months. So looking forward to this new adventure in my life!
