I was born and raised in Belgium. It is a lovely country but you have to be careful if you are travelling alone, where you go in Belgium. It is mostly safe especially during the day. But at night there are weird people sometimes or many drunk/homeless people who make you uncomfortable. Especially Brussels is a rather unsafe place to be if you don’t know the city. Other areas in Belgium are ok, but you always need to be careful. I personally hate going to Brussels because I always feel unsafe or uncomfortable with the men looking and catcalling. Also many pickpockets and even violence if you interact with the wrong people. But it real depends where you go in Brussels. Try to avoid (gare du Nord, Schaerbeek, Anderlecht, Molenbeek, )
Posted: March 23, 2024Belgium is a very safe country, both at night and during the day. you can walk around without any worries :) I feel very safe on public transport. In cafes you can always go to the waiters if there is something you don't like. everyone is going to help you here
Posted: March 18, 2024I have lived here since I was born and it has never happened to me. But I have heard testimonies from people I know, my father who was attacked when he got off the train, in the parking lot when he was coming back from work. One day, someone tried to steal my phone on the subway. But otherwise I have already gone out several times alone at night in Brussels for example, to take a bus at 3 or 4 a.m. and I have never had a problem. but still be careful in the evening. I think the day is safe

Posted: January 6, 2024I traveled to Belgium for 5 days. I visited Brussels, Bruges, and Ghent. It was simply magical. I highly recommend Belgium because it is safe, centrally located to many places in Europe, and because it is such a small country, it's easy to get around.

It was my first solo experience but was really amazing. I also visit Netherlands and Luxembourg too. I stayed in city centre and I joined a-day tours which were awesome. I really like Belgium fried and waffles.
Posted: April 24, 2024I did a nice coast trip with my friend in belgium. It is possible to drive from west to east coast by tram, 60km on one day. One ticket. Hop on hop off between beach, grass, villages and cities. Nice small cafés on the road and at the end activities on the beach.
