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.

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.

Kampenhout

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

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.

During the day you won’t have any problems, but be careful at night, don’t go in the small streets where nobody is, stay where the crowd is. I’ve already been whistled by someone, at 8 pm and I was with 2 friends.

Brussels

Brussels is generally safe during the day, but the city center can feel less comfortable at night, especially in quieter or less busy areas. It’s best to stay in well-lit, lively places and be mindful of your surroundings. Like in any big city, pickpocketing can happen, so just take normal precautions.
