How safe is Grenoble?

I feel like it can be pretty unsafe sometimes, I personally never have experienced anything bad, but a lot of people have and we all know for sure it’s not the safest place. I would not recommend for a girl to visit alone, especially at night

Not very safe after dark, especially areas in Échirolles or Saint Martin d'Hères, mostly cases related to drug dealing, but there have also been assaults on campus. The security isn't really up to point but I have to say that public transports are quite good and safe to be in.

I'm not feeling in danger or anythings like that in my city but I Know that some danger existe so you have to be car full but not paranoïc. Most of the people there are very safe and dont worry, media always talk about the city in a bad way but in reality it's much much safer

Grenoble is a peaceful city, at least that's what I see. I haven't had many problems in Grenoble, even though I've lived here for almost 5 years now. Of course, it's a city that has many flaws like all other cities.

As a girl i don’t recommend walking alone in the dark but other than that i have nothing to say especially that i didn’t experience anything bad. In the day light it’s safe there are always police officers… but there are some places that have a bad reputation it s better to not go there.

Grenoble is generally pretty safe, as long as you avoid certain areas, especially at night, such as Saint Bruno, Les Eaux Claires, Villeneuve, Arlequin, and Fontaine. "Public transportation is fairly safe, but the train station can be a bit dangerous at night.
