Most visits to Belgium are trouble-free but you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate international terrorist attacks, which could be against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners.
There were disturbances in the Marolles area of south-central Brussels by protesters on 25 and 26 September 2006, following the death of a young man of North African origin in police custody. While the situation is now calm, travellers should be careful if visiting the area particularly after dark.
There have been two reported incidences of rabies in Belgium in 2007. The authorities have indicated that there is no cause for alarm but travellers should seek medical advice before travelling and ensure that all appropriate vaccinations are up-to-date.
