Is Namur Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Namur, being a relatively small city in Belgium, generally has a lower crime rate compared to larger cities. The city center is well-lit and populated even during the evening. Nevertheless, it's always recommended to maintain usual travel precautions, such as avoiding deserted areas late at night and keeping belongings secure at all times.

Is Namur safe for women?

Namur is safe by day wherever you go, but I will suggest you to avoid mostly the Rogier street, there is a lot of drug deals. I would not suggest a solo female traveler to walk by night in Namur, i've never had problems, but I've heard from other girls some scary experience..so stay safe and walk at leat by two people :)

Honestly, don’t go out alone at night, especially around the train station or in poorly lit areas. It’s basic common sense, of course. I don’t recommend going to these places after dark: • Rue Rogier • Rue Godefroid • Square Léopold • The Meuse riverside area in Jambes Namur is generally safe; you just need to avoid these streets late at night. Personally, I haven’t had any problems there so far.

There are some streets I avoid in Namur, especially at night, like rue Rogier, behind the station (boulevard Nord), Rue Godefroid... But generally speaking, Namur is safe. There are lots of things to do and see in Namur.

Namur is overally pretty safe, if you know which places to avoid of course. These last years petty crimes have been on the rise bit not enough to pose a real threat in my opinion. My friends and I have been living here our whole lives and never had something serious happen to us. And if you feel unsafe walking alone at night, there are scooters everywhere and you can take one to go back to your accomodation quickly and easily! But there’s really nothing to worry about if you stay aware of your...

Namur is one of the safest city I know for girls. I like going out late at night and do it frequently, coming back home late and alone is not a problem. Of course we hear things and you can get harassed by guys but not like in big towns.
