Is Liège Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Liège

Liege is an overall safe city, but there are a lot of neighborhoods to avoid. As a local and as a girl, I've learned to avoid these neighborhoods, but you sometimes have to go through them in order to get to your destination. The bus is a really great way to get around and I feel very safe in them except when it's the last bus of the day and its 11pm and you're alone lol.

I advise to stay in crowded places, during day and even more at night. It's unfortunate but it's the truth. I've got bad experience recently again. Men take advantage when you're completely alone in the street. It was just that I didn't know there would be no one at that time, so early 6PM but dark in winter. Stay safe. Summer seems safer even late at night because people hang out longer. But not in fall and winter

There’s a lot of toxicomane and homeless people. Most of them are okay and won’t disturb you, but it can be scary - mostly at night. By day time it’s totally safe, but at night, most of the time we won’t let our friends go home all alone.

The people of Liège are very nice and welcoming. The cultural and traditional events are always warm. There are many artists... you can make a few friends in just a few minutes. However, there is also increasing poverty. Most of the homeless people are very kind, obviously, but some have already shown aggression when you can't meet their requests. Theft is very common in the "Carré" (streets filled with bars), and it is not advisable to walk home alone from the Carré after an evening out. However, nothing very serious has ever happened to me. I prefer events over bars.
