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!

Brussels, Solo travel
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...

I went to Antwerp with my partner, and it's truly one of my favorite cities of all time!! Amazing culture, beautiful architecture and lovely atmosphere. It's such an open minded city, I never once felt in danger. Since my partner is vegan I was scared our meal options would be pretty limited but every restaurant we went to had vegan options, even some friteries had veggie options of local delicacies! Foodie heaven. I also recommend getting the museum pass if you want to see the more cultural aspect of the city. It's around 70 euros and you get free entry to almost every cultural spot in...

In Antwerp I felt really safe. The public transport (metro and tram) was brilliant. The organisation after Dua Lipa’s concert was perfect! City was nice to walk around, very clean and pretty. People there were also very helpful. I’m glad most of people spoke english ❤️

Mons
Mons is an overall safe city. I never had any problem, and I’ve been living there my whole life. The places I marked are the places where some people could bother you, but nothing really dangerous in my opinion

If you know your way around Antwerp it’s pretty safe but you still need to watch out Especially on nights out at clubs that’s where you’re more likely to get hassled than just walking on the street 😇

I do feel safe in brussels, but unfortunately there are quite a few less safe areas that might be better to avoid at night like clemenceau, gare du midi and area between de brouckere and bourse. Pickpocketting is frequent in areas like chaussée d’ixelles

Welkenraedt
Welkenraedt is a very safe village. The police and firefighters are present, and the residents look out for each other. In 20 years, nothing has ever happened here, except for a few burglaries. However, I advise you not to linger at the train station at night, as Welkenraedt is the last station on the Belgian train line, and some young people from Liège or Verviers (less safe cities) may hang out at the station.

Leuven is overall a pretty safe place, you just have to be careful when going out and staying out late / being around drunk people. Overall it really is a very nice place. Some petty theft crimes can happen but there’s usually a police car driving around and there’s a police officer and a main police officer all near the city.
