Liege is an overall safe city, but there are a lot of neighborhoods to avoid. As a local and as a girl, I've learned to avoid these neighborhoods, but you sometimes have to go through them in order to get to your destination. The bus is a really great way to get around and I feel very safe in them except when it's the last bus of the day and its 11pm and you're alone lol.

I advise to stay in crowded places, during day and even more at night. It's unfortunate but it's the truth. I've got bad experience recently again. Men take advantage when you're completely alone in the street. It was just that I didn't know there would be no one at that time, so early 6PM but dark in winter. Stay safe. Summer seems safer even late at night because people hang out longer. But not in fall and winter
