Wie sicher ist es?
4/5
Generally safe. Brussels has some areas with higher crime (around Gare du Midi, parts of Molenbeek) — stick to tourist areas. Bruges and Ghent are very safe. Belgium has a visible security presence due to its status as EU capital.
Worauf sollte ich mich vor Betrügern einstellen?
- Pickpocketing around Brussels' Grand Place and on metro lines.
- Fake charity petitions used as distraction for theft.
- Overpriced tourist restaurants near Grand Place — walk a block or two for better value.
Welche gesundheitlichen Vorsichtsmaßnahmen sind sinnvoll?
- Excellent healthcare. EU citizens can use EHIC/GHIC. Pharmacies are well-stocked.
- Healthcare is affordable even for non-EU visitors compared to many Western countries.
Welche Impfungen sind erforderlich?
- Routine vaccines only. No special requirements.
Ist Leitungswasser trinkbar?
Tap water is safe throughout Belgium.
Gibt es aktuelle Reisewarnungen?
Some areas near Gare du Midi in Brussels are best avoided at night. Cobblestone streets in Bruges and Ghent can be slippery when wet. Terrorism security level has been elevated historically — follow official guidance.

Was sollte ich über die Kultur wissen?
Was sollte ich tun?
- Try Belgian beer — there are over 1,500 varieties. Each beer has its own glass.
- Visit Bruges by foot or boat — the medieval center is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
- Buy chocolate from artisan chocolatiers, not tourist shops — the difference is remarkable.
Was sollte ich vermeiden?
- Don't call Belgian fries 'French fries' — they were invented in Belgium and it's a sore point.
- Don't speak French in Flanders or Dutch in Wallonia without asking — language is politically sensitive.
- Don't limit yourself to Brussels — the best of Belgium is in its smaller cities.
Wie funktioniert das Trinkgeld?
Service charge is included by law. Small tips (rounding up) are appreciated but not expected. Leave €1–2 for good service.
Wie lautet die Kleiderordnung?
Smart-casual in cities. Belgians dress neatly but not ostentatiously. No specific dress codes at most restaurants.
Wie ist der religiöse Kontext?
Historically Catholic. Beautiful cathedrals and churches welcome visitors. Belgium is secular and progressive in daily life.
