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

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.

Small friendly town, sleepy town where nothing happens, stays consistently safe on the way to bruges. Direction to torhout-roeselare may be less safe bit public transport or rental car keeps you out of any zones

The past two months that I live I haven't felt in any way unsafe even in the few times I've biked back home after midnight. I'd say Ghent is a very safe place for fems, but ofc be vigilant at all times.

The city center is honestly lovely and very safe! I recommend not going to Kampenhout-Sas at night because it's kind of known for drugdeals and stuff (unless you're into that kinda stuff I guess🤷♀️). During the day it is a very safe city, have fun & if you're ever coming here and you want a friend, hit me up :)!❤️

Metzert is a really cosy village, don’t worry about safety. Neighbors are really kind, if you need water, help, or even maybe a sleepover, don’t hesitate. The forest nearby is also a good spot to relax and enjoy the Belgian nature.
