Safety in Brussels

Hello Pal,
That's a big lie!
This is Europe and the terrible lack of safety and respect for humans, as in some developing nations, does not apply in Europe.
You would not expect it in Brussels (The capital of Europe!) or any part of Belgium.
I am from an African background and have not noticed any such things when I am around in Brussels.
I will let my Asian bros and sis, chip in LOL
I think u need to start weighing up other pros and cons, especially if you have other better options.

Compared to any decent-sized American city, the crime rate here is a joke. And it’s lower than London too. There are a lot of workers who commute in from villages and seem terrified of anyone who doesn’t look like them. Perhaps that’s the source of rumors that it’s unsafe. Specific targeting of expats? Sounds like an urban myth.

Hello. May I ask where you are moving from? Could it be Dubai? I have lived in a great number of countries, including Dubai, and I would be happy to give you a very comprehensive answer. I can tell your right now the Brussels is a very safe place to live, and Belgium on the whole. I am a woman of mixed race and I feel at ease moving around in Belgium. Please let me know if you want more information and good luck with your move!! Melody

Hello. I'm Asian and a female. I find Brussels and Belgium very safe. It's also a very cosmopolitan city. As in every city, there are areas which are more prone to petty crime. Overall, I find it very safe. The few times I've had any interaction with the police, they have been very responsive and reactive.

Hi Lynette,

Are you still in Belgium?  Ednalyn Manzon & I are planning a trip there in November.  It'd be great to visit with you.

Hope you're doing ok and still checking this site.

God bless & take care.
