I fell in love with this town! It is so beautiful, a blend of London, New York, and Paris. It has so many beautiful places to go. The prices are moderate, almost same throughout the Europe. Food is delicious!

I spent 2,5 days in Brussels and half a day in Bruges. I loved the European District, especially the House of European History, the Parlamentarium and the Hemicycle visit. If you're interested in politics or history, it's definitely worth a visit. I stayed at IBIS (city centre) and felt quite safe, though I was overly careful after reading reviews about how unsafe Brussels is supposed to be. The only place I felt worried was Brussels Midi Train Station. People were begging in front of the escalators, in such a way that you can hardly get off the escalator without them being directly in your face. There is a high police presence at this train station though, so in spite of my experience, I did not feel genuinely unsafe. I would, however, keep a closer look on my belongings in this area. I had to ask for directions in Brussels a few times and people were always kind and helpful. One more thing: If you take the underground, be aware that they have multiple lines driving on the same tracks at the same platform! Make sure you get on the right train.

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.

Kortrijk is a really safe city. I was born there and never felt unsafe. It is not that big and so you can do everything by bike without feeling unsafe. At night I already cycled home alone a lot and it didn´t feel unsafe.

since its a little student city so ive not heard or encountered any disrupt within Leuven? Maybe i have heard that at night there are a few times girls walking down the street getting catcalled by old people but that only happened once as far as i know. Overall, Leuven is by far the safest city i know in Belgium.
