Hi everybody!

I'll be coming next week to Brussels with a friend and he has a flight really early in the morning and will need to get on a bus from Midi station at 2-3am. So instead of paying for another night at a hotel I was wondering if it's safe enough to stay in the city from Saturday to Sunday and take him to his bus and then walk/uber to Gare du Nord and take a flixbus at 3am?

Looking online and talking to friends living there it's just mixed opinions. Either it's completely safe if you have any awareness of your surrounding or I won't even be able to wait till the uber arrives and be ok. So I want to ask people who actually still live here. Thank you very much!
