Is Brest Safe for Women?

Brest is pretty safe but it depends in which street like a lot of cities, but as a woman everywhere I go I don’t feel completely at ease. But especially at pilier rouge personally. And also in liberte there is sometimes some creepy guys

Brest is pretty safe, there is just some zones to avoid at night like rue Jean Jaurès, Siam, Pontanezen, the tramway and pretty much all the place with bar/alcohol. At day the city is safe and public transports are often monitored

Brest is very safe! But there is some place you don’t want to go at night alone as a woman. (Liberté, north of the city). Apart from that Brest is super safe ! A lot of military work there so it’s ok. If you need advice tel me.

Brest is a quite safe city. You just need to pay attention in some areas like Pontanezen for example. You might be called out by some men but they are not violent. There isn’t pickpockets. Overall this city is very safe for females traveler’s.

Depends on the neighbourhood,but basically I don’t recommend being at night alone. Hinestly I lives in two differents places and I’ m always a little défiant regarding mâle individuals. I have been cat-called several times Even if it never went further, but I happened to witness some insecurity situations

Solo travel

I'm here as an exchange student from Germany. I stayed 2 month already and I really like the sea, the château, les Capucins, the public transport and the open-minded people. I feel save walking and joggging alone at the day. Sometimes when it begins to get dark i feel scared of some strange man. But in the buses i feel always safe and comfortable. The tram is okay in the evenings but not always that confortable alone. Especially when you are a young woman. All in all I would recommend to visit this beautiful city and mabey you also will fall in love with the language, people and the charm of this city. Best wishes
