Is Liège Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Liège

Liège is the kind of city you need to be born into. As a local, I know very well how to behave, where to go and what to do. But for foreigners I'd always advise to meet up with a local to know about these things. Our city is under construction to build a tramway and so many areas are unsafe because it's just a mess. Lots of people are very kind and lovely but homelessness is a huge issue and they cause trouble any chance they get and a lot of us are pissed.

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.

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.
