Is Hasselt Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Hasselt is generally a safe city with a low crime rate. Violent crimes are rare, and it is safe for women and tourists. It is also a fun city, where there is always something to do, which is why there are always plenty of people present in the city. If you go to town to party at night on weekends, you will also encounter people of all ages. The only thing that might be considered dangerous is the train station, this is because drugs are more common here and there are homeless people. Otherwise, Hasselt is very safe.

Hasselt is a very safe city. Of course you always have to be aware of your surroundings, and maybe some areas can be slightly less safe than others, but in general Hasselt is one of the safest cities in Belgium. It’s not a big city like Antwerp or Brussels, and there aren’t as many tourists. The crime rate is also very low and most people are friendly and helpful. Because it’s a small and calm city, the streets can be quite empty and dark when you’re walking alone at night, but I’ve never experienced harassment or felt unsafe.
