I think that Hasselt is overall a very safe city, because it isn’t big. You can find some strange people here from time to time, but nothing to be really scared about. Some people might say weird things but they won’t harm u.

Overall safe, even at night. Maybe only the train station is better to be avoided after dark, because there potentially could be drunk man, like 2 or 3 of them (only sometimes). I still wouldn't worry to much about it

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.
