"Ghent, generally has a low crime rate compared to other cities. It is considered safe for both residents and tourists. However, like any other city, it is not completely free from crime. Petty crimes such as pickpocketing or bicycle theft can occur, particularly in crowded areas or major tourist spots. Violent crimes are relatively rare, but it's always important to stay vigilant and take basic safety precautions. The city's authorities are proactive in maintaining safety and security, contributing to the overall low crime rate," commented one expat who made the move to Ghent, Belgium.
