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 is very pretty city, it is like a transaction point of two cultures and it was lovely to even just walk around the city, yet as the sun goes down it is a good idea to be little more careful, especially if you are close to Brussels north or Brussels midi, stay safe 🐰💕

Brussels

I've been going there regularly for a long time, and I've never had any problems myself. But I would say that areas such as Brussels North station, Avenue Louise and Rue d'Aerschot are the most sensitive locations.

Brussels

Overall Brussels is safe and in my 7 years of living here I have never had any problems. But just like any European city be cautions about your belongings and don’t go to sketchy neighborhoods late at night.

Brussels

It is safe but you gotta be careful with your luggage or handbags. When you come to the north of Brussels, make sure to always check your stuffs as there are pickpockets. Other than that, Brussels is safe don’t worry.

About me

frensh bellow Friendly and always ready for an adventure, I love exploring new cultures and enjoying life’s simple, carefree moments. I study sociology and anthropology, so I’m endlessly curious about the world and the people in it. I’m just as happy spending a night dancing — from electro to salsa — as I am playing board games, having long chats with friends, or watching indie films. I enjoy hiking, climbing, and living simply with the essentials, and I always try to keep a positive outlook. Whatsapp : +32474041595 Insta: @lindsaymiriki Sociable et toujours partante pour l’aventure, j’adore découvrir de nouvelles cultures vivantes et partager des moments sans prise de tête. Étudiante en sociologie et anthropologie, je suis curieuse du monde qui m’entoure. Je suis aussi bien partante pour une soirée dansante — de l’électro à la salsa — qu’une soirée jeux de société, discussion entre amis ou cinéma indépendant. J’aime la randonnée, l’escalade, vivre avec l’essentiel, et je garde toujours un esprit positif.
