Is Lyon Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Lyon

this is a big city so there are places safer than others, i would say the presqu’île neighborhoods are pretty safe as they are the most crowded ones at night. I would recommend avoiding neighborhoods like la guillotière or villeurbanne if you are alone especially at night. But the bars and clubs are usually not around those neighborhoods so it’s fine. Overall, there will probably be annoying men that will try to talk to you or catcall you, but most of them are inoffensive. If you feel like you’re in danger, you can check the Umay app that will show you places you can go nearby to be safe, i know that most buses are a part of those places in Lyon, maybe some bars and shops too!

By day, public transportation and the city center is very safe. I leaved here for 7 years now and never get hurt by day neither my friends. By night it can be more dangerous even in the most famous places in the town. But you just have to be a little vigilant and not be alone to be safe.

Depending on the place you are and the rime of the day. Usually, touristics places are okay. You should be especially careful of thieves on public transport. It has already happened to me that a thief searched through my bag and felt unsafe because of man, but this doesn't happen too frequently .

Lyon is pretty safe because it is a very well lit city. Also, unsafe areas aren't very touristic, which makes them not used by tourists who could feel threatened. The most common danger would probably be pickpockets, but if there are some, the subway announcements would say so. Also, there often is security in the subway to check your transportation tickets or cards and to moderate traffic and the flux of people coming into trams.

Lyon is a beautiful safe town which is believed to be overall safe. I have not faced any untoward incident yet but I have come across drunk guys throwing sexist comments at us when we walk at night. Public transport is largely safe

Generally is safe, depends on the districts, maybe don't walk alone late in the district of Guillotiere and Venissieux. The center is quite safe always, but I think there are pickpockets like everywhere in big cities, so be aware of this.

Lyon is a large city in France. Most of the neighborhoods are safe, and one feels secure there. Several times, I have come home at night on my bike after going to a club, and I never felt in danger or was accosted.

Lyon is super safe during the day. During the night is also safe in the city center and some places around. Though, I'll suggest to avoid "La Guillotière" and the 8th arrondissement.. since I consider them a bit unsafe for women when it gets dark. Anyways, is always good to be cautious all the time. P/D: there are some pickpockets in the metro and tram.. so watch out your stuff all the time when places get crowded.

I lived in Lyon for 1 year and found it a pleasant city, where I felt quite safe! But that depends on the neighborhood! I also went for walks in the evenings on my own, and depending on the neighborhood I felt pretty safe. Especially in the Croix Rousse district, where I lived, it's really very safe!

Like for every big cities it depends of where you are. I would suggest to avoid "la Guillotière" and "Perrache" (secondary train station) areas. If you're not sure, try to arrive early, during day time, to have an idea of how the area could be during dark

Solo travel

Felt really safe, especially in vieux lyon and along the river. I felt safe walking around alone, even with headphones in. However, be aware of pickpockets on the subway. The food was amazing, fresh food everywhere and inexpensive. Le musée des confluences is an absolute must! The river rhône is beautiful. Vieux Lyon and the roman ruins are fascinating

Solo travel

It is overall a nice city, I was living there for a year. But it is very unsafe, specially the area of the Guilliotiere. I would highly recommend that you go with someone else in the city and not alone as a girl. We had a lot of cases of sexual assaults and harassment.
