Ghent is an amazing city to go to as a woman. It's very safe, many cool things to do and very open-minded. You can easily walk alone at night and ask for help in any bar or club if you are feeling unsafe. The prices are a bit high, but you can find some nice budget places such as Panos or other chains.

Ghent, also known as the Harry Potter city is very safe for a female solo traveler. It is a very open minded city, people speak English and are willing to help. Public transport is easy to take, however a bit pricy. There are night buses and easy access to taxi in town. It’s a small city where you won’t get lost easily.
Posted: July 7, 2024Gent, a small and friendly city in Belgium, where you can safely wander alone at 3 AM without drawing attention. Its charm lies in its welcoming atmosphere, rich history, and compact size, perfect for exploring on foot."

Hey! I’m Fatine, very nice to e-meet all of you. I’m a solo-traveler (with mini-me) and backpacker. We travelled around Asia and plenty other countries. We love discovering about new cultures, languages, nice chat and just basic human contact. I’m into nerdy stuff: CS, anime, Psychology, Travelling, Photography, Entrepreneurship, etc. Mini-me is 6 years old, she’s very outgoing.. Loves yoga, Art, Ballet and everything related to it. She’s trilingual and loves learning new words in other languages. She’s a brave girl and is used to the backpack life 😇
Ghent is really a charming place! Many open minds, one of the larger cities in Belgium, although much smaller compared to Brussels or Antwerp. It's full of modern and authentic cafes, plenty of places to eat where no one looks at you when you sit alone. Beautiful views, charming streets and historical buildings, alternative areas, as well as more typical shops. Green and less crowded areas near the city center. It really has everything to offer, both for short trips and for solo travels.
