There are some streets I avoid in Namur, especially at night, like rue Rogier, behind the station (boulevard Nord), Rue Godefroid... But generally speaking, Namur is safe. There are lots of things to do and see in Namur.

Namur is overally pretty safe, if you know which places to avoid of course. These last years petty crimes have been on the rise bit not enough to pose a real threat in my opinion. My friends and I have been living here our whole lives and never had something serious happen to us. And if you feel unsafe walking alone at night, there are scooters everywhere and you can take one to go back to your accomodation quickly and easily! But there’s really nothing to worry about if you stay aware of your surroundings.

Namur is one of the safest city I know for girls. I like going out late at night and do it frequently, coming back home late and alone is not a problem. Of course we hear things and you can get harassed by guys but not like in big towns.
