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.

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.

Meldert

Its a small Town, only families live here. Its really quite and nice. Beautiful landscapes to go hike or run. Here is a castle 20 min walk from everywhere in Meldert. Close by stations. Its also really quite in the evening, really valling.

Antwerp

I've always felt really safe here, just be cautious in certain areas like Seefhoek, Borgerhout, or Kiel as those are the poorer areas. Anywhere else is typically always safe enough to walk alone and with your phone casually in your back pocket.

There is always some kind person who can help you if you have a problem you just need to ask. For sure you will be in safety.  Sometimes we have just one drink guy who can be annoying in the centre you have a lot of shops who can protect you
