How safe is Bordeaux?

Bordeaux is safe overall except the Saint michel side, in which you shouldnt be alone at night after 10pm. In right side of the Garonne aswell I wouldnt recommand being aline in cenon but in the center of the town its really safe and full of people

I think that Bordeaux is very safe. I live there since 10 years and didn't ever feel unsafe in town. But i would avoid some areas especially at night: les aubiers, grand parc, train station area, belcier.

Bordeaux is a really nice city, and really isn’t the city I felt unsafe (I’ve lived there for 6 years). There are some neighborhoods I would avoid during nights, but mostly on the surroundings. Otherwise, the city itself is pretty safe, not more or less than others. You just have to be a bit careful unfortunately.

Bordeaux is generally very safe. I feel perfectly comfortable taking public transport or walking alone late at night (I think buses are safer than the trams). But of course there are always exceptions, some neighborhoods are less safe especially in the city center around Place de la Victoire. Overall I don't think you should worry about getting assaulted or robbed and should stay as alert as you would in most other places :)

Bordeaux is quite safe! You don’t need to worry about going out late at night in most of the places. Maybe the district of the train station is where you should be mostly conscious about the risk of robbery

Is Bordeaux worth visiting?

Solo travel experience

I loved Bordeaux, I went on a wine tour and took a train to the sea. I also went on a bicycle tour. Bordeaux is 100% pedestrian friendly and it's beautiful.
