Quick question. My partner and I are thinking about moving to Brussels but we are a bit worried about walking alone at night for work or just going out 😟
wallonia_mom_lifeIs it safe to walk alone in Brussels at night
wallonia_mom_lifeAccepted answer
old_guard_vla2Mostly it is fine to walk around alone especially in the center where the tourists are. You just need to watch your back for pickpockets or people grabbing bags in the crowds. Avoid hanging around Gare du Midi or Gare du Nord late and stay away from parts of Molenbeek or Anderlecht after dark. Metro and trams run late on weekends so that helps you get home. It is basically the same as Paris or London in terms of safety levels.
All the best

Learning_Life_BEI noticed that even at 3:00 AM the streets are pretty calm and you just see people walking their dogs.
Just_Arrived_HereAll good.
been_there_done_thatSlightly disagree... I have lived here for a long time and the women I know who live in the city center never feel unsafe walking around at night !
NotSoSure_92People say it is dangerous all the time but honestly i think that is mostly just hype from the news ! It is not as bad as people claim .
wallonia_mom_lifeAppreciate the info!
