Is Brest Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

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...

Solo travel

Overall, I feel safe walking in brest event during late hours. It’s a beautiful and quiet city with cool places to explore. Although the prices here are somewhat expensive compared to other European countries, they’re still reasonable. The restaurant here are diverse and you can find anything you like here.

Brest is safe except during the night in Bellevue. There are murders by guns for drugs. During the day is safe except in bellevue where men looking at you. Kergot can be a little bit dangerous but don't worry 70% of the city is safe

Brest is mostely a safe city to travel as a solo woman, yet their are some places that might feel unsafe at night as there is men roaming around in the streets. I'd also recommend checking the public transportation timetable before planning late activities because bus ans trams don't work at night.

There are no problems during the day. Some neighborhoods are less than ideal at night. I live far from those areas. My neighborhood is safe even at night. If you'd like to talk to me about Brest and what there is to see, I'd be delighted.

It’s a very chill left wing city with lots of students. As everwhere night life can be a little scary for solo women, but other then that it feels really safe and people are super nice ! Maybe avoid shady streets with no lights at night if you’re alone…. The main streets with all the bars and restaurants are full of people and very safe. Brestois love to go out !

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
