Is Belgium Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Belgium is generally a safe country to travel for solo female travelers. Violent crime is low, however, like every other place in the world, it's always wise to stay cautious and vigilant, especially during night hours or when visiting isolated areas. As a solo female traveler, it is recommended to keep in touch with family, avoid sharing specifics about accommodation and travel, and follow travel advisories. Also, be aware of pickpocketing in busy tourist areas or public transport.

Brussels, Solo travel

Brussels is an impressive city; you can feel the cultural mix everywhere. I think it’s no coincidence that they call it the capital of Europe. As a capital city, it offers a wide variety of things to do. Personally, my favorite spot is the Bois de la Cambre; I think it’s a beautiful place to take a walk and enjoy a moment of connection that’s a bit different from the usual city life.

Brussels, Couple travel

I stayed near the smaller airport, it did take a bit of time to get into the city centre but it was so worth it. I loved being in a normal part of town out of the tourist zones and I found a couple of great food spots! Everything was so beautiful in the main city centre, the architecture and the people were all great! Stumbled upon a local skateboarding event and it was the best part of the holiday!

Such a lovely city!! Beautiful architecture and so much history to learn about . Felt very safe as a young (minor) woman walking around during the day and even in the evening! Food was lovely as well x

Antwerp, Group travel

It was a fun experience. We went there for a friend's birthday. We went to eat cake at a lovely Brazilian shop. Went then to see a few tourist attractions and beautiful churches. For the rest of the day went did a pub crawl and the night life was so fun. Couldn't stop dancing.

Lier

I have lived in Lier all my life and have rarely if ever felt unsafe during the day or night. At night I would however avoid de 'vesten' (walkway through trees) and 'dijken' (walkway along canal) as there are no lanterns there.

Very safe. You can easily walk around alone at night without being bothered. You have to be careful in bar/nightlife streets of course, but it’s mainly because of the drunks. Other than that, the city is very quiet at night.

Deurne

I think it’s pretty safe here, I’ve lived here for almost 2 years and never felt unsafe in Deurne, though when you cross the line with Merksem that’s where you should look out (near Schijnpoort). I’ve walked here many times during the day and night in both summer and winter and never really had any encounters

In the area’s I put on the map I don’ t feel safe as a woman alone. Groups of Guys hanging around at those places and they very agressive when you don t answer. They harras you and try to touch you. There is also a area (the park spoor noord) I put on the map: there is a big problem of drugs-use in public. You can see people just putting needles in their arms.
