We’ve reviewed our travel advice for Belgium and have lowered the overall travel advice level. We now advise exercise normal safety precautions.

Temporary border controls are in place for travel into France, Germany, and the Netherlands from Belgium (see ‘Travel’).

There’s an ongoing threat of terrorism in Belgium. Belgium’s national threat level is set at ‘serious’ – level 3 of 4.  Crowded places such as music and cultural events, festivals, tourist areas, shopping areas, transport hubs, major sporting events and other public areas are possible targets. Be vigilant in public places and follow the advice of local authorities (see ‘Safety’).  

General strikes occur often in Belgium and may cause significant travel disruption across the country. Monitor local news and check with your travel provider for potential delays.

We advise:
