Brussels Notes

1. Brussels is a safe city on the whole but some areas are not so safe. Please keep yourself away from the following areas at night: Schaarbeek, Brussel North, St-Josse, Marollen, Anneessens, Molenbeek and Anderlecht

2. Please be alert to thieves in tourist areas, railway station and metro station. Sometimes the thieves may pretend to ask about the time or address to divert your attention.

3. Please confirm the price on the menu before ordering because a few restaurants may charge incredibly high prices. A bottle of 1-litre spring water may be sold at the price of 7 euros, which only costs 70 cents in the supermarket.

4. Please be alert when you have dinner in Italian restaurants. Service charges may not be included on the price list in some restaurants. However, it has been included in most Brussels restaurants. Some tourists have been defrauded in some of those restaurants. The price on the menu is much higher than that on the advertisement on the show-window. Therefore, please pay close attention to the price on the menu.
