Ypres is a lesser touristic spot in Belgium but with the same amount of history and importance like Gent or Bruge. It's easier to walk around and pass someone you already met. Therefore I think it's a safer city as there is also less nightlife.

Honestly, it's a small historical city where nothing too much happens. Nothing to be worried about. Of course it's better to walk with other people but in general no criminality there. I'm not worried about walking on the street during the night or day!

It is a smaller city in Belgium where it is pretty safe! I walk alone at night all the time and never felt really unsafe:) you usually won't see a lot of people on the streets at night. Around the station you can have weird drunk people but just avoid those.

Hi, I'm a travel obsessed girl that loves to hang out with people and discovering the world. I might not always be home or there. But don't hesitate to ask! I love to show people around in the places I'm living💞 It's important for me to always have fun and make the experiences that seem boring fun.

Hi girls! I'm Willemijn, I know it's a difficult name so that's why most English speaking people call me Emma. I've been fond of travelling my whole life, thanks to my parents I've seen most of Europe. But now I am at an age to start solotravelling and exploring more continents!
