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.

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.

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.

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.
