Head of mission: Mr. Uroš Ilic, Honorary Consul (as of 2024)
Belgium is an appealing destination for some Slovenian visitors, thanks to its rich cultural heritage and modern attractions. The country's historical significance, architectural beauty, and charming cities like Brussels, Bruges, and Antwerp contribute to its appeal. With 2.1 million Slovenians traveling abroad annually, a portion may find Belgium an interesting place to explore.
Belgium's safety for tourists from Slovenia presents a mixed picture. While Belgium ranks 39th out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, Slovenia ranks significantly higher at 2nd. However, Belgium is considered one of the safest countries globally, holding the 16th position in the Global Peace Index, compared to Slovenia's 9th place. In terms of crime statistics, Slovenia has a lower murder rate at 0.4 per 100,000 people, while Belgium's rate is 1.1. Female murder rates also favor Slovenia at 0.6, compared to Belgium's 0.2. Regarding organized crime, both countries have similar scores in several categories, but Belgium shows higher vulnerability in drug-related crimes, particularly in cocaine and synthetic drug trafficking. Overall, while Belgium may present some safety challenges compared to Slovenia, it remains a safe destination for tourists, especially when taking standard precautions.
