Crime in Brussels, Belgium

Brussels is mostly safe, but yes you must know where you go. There some part of brussels that are not safe(ie:south station, north station, North of brussels ect, its hard to say where you are unsecure as its some part of each district.
Im local from brussels.

Belgium is on it way to getting crime levels as bad the U.K. but hopefully that will never happen.

brussels is many morrocan and terrorism big problem and very much robbery

I'm a local from Brussels, I would say it's not dangerous as a whole. Just a lot of thief especially bicycle thief.
Avoid some bad neighborhood like around Gare du Nord, Gare du Midi, and some bad neighborhood and you should be OK :)

To avoid walking solo at night: Anderlecht, near the canal, near de Brouckère station and around Rue Neuve at night (not so much dangerous as just unpleasant), near Gare du Midi (except directly Parvis de St Gilles), Annesseens, the quieter streets just north of the EU quarter. Brussels is safe, but as with everywhere it is not good to walk in certain areas (badly lit and quiet) at night.

Made a road trip through 10 European countries in a hurry, walked through the streets of the major cities in the day time. After passing through many U.S. cities (living in the U.S. for 48 years), while watching the far less number of police officers and the sounds of sirens, what I have experienced in the very highly crowded cities like Amsterdam was quite surprising. Hardly any police seen, which means farther less crimes. The people are healthier, hardly any fat people. To the total strangers when I smiled, they smiled. Religion is far less important, and nobody will fight for religion, that is another plus point. Over all, the people are enjoying life with less craving for bigger material possessions of life.

@peter: It's true, the Gare du Nord area is definitely not where I'd recommend to go. Not a safe area at all, so avoid it as much as you can, most people in Brussels avoid it too. Same thing with some areas around Schaerbeek and Molenbeek, and surely Gare du Midi at night isn't very nice either. Aside from that, no big deal anywhere else, Brussels is still a pretty nice and safe city worth visiting (at least no less safe than any other European capital).

Hi. Anyone can help me decide if the area around la roue in anderlecht is safe.

I've lived in and around Brussels for 4 years. It's true that the city centre isn't very clean and there are loads of North Africans and begging migrants from the Middle East. However I think this makes the city feel less safe than it really is. Cases of people being robbed, attacked etc. are very rare. I've never felt unsafe walking around personally.

The only people who speak bad about Brussels are obviously extreme right wind idiots with enormous hate against any other race, who are constantly pushing odin, thor and other stupidities trough their white pride terror, and thus they have a serious attitude problem. Brussels is one of the safest and most beautiful cities in Europe. If you do not want to get into trouble, you will NEVER get into trouble if you mind your business, that is everywhere in Europe, except in the USA where you can get killed just because of the brand new sneakers some young criminal wants from you. So, most of the reviews about Brussels here comes from the people who even don't know where Belgium and Brussels are situated, so when I read to the first sentence of the most reviewers here, I get immediate picture about it. Visit Brussels, it is a world class city, very safe and friendly.
