Is Montpellier safe for women?
Montpellier is safe in the city center, sometimes you can find some crazy people, but they are not dangerous. There are some neighborhoods that I wouldn't recommend as a woman traveling alone, as Alco, Mosson, and Gambetta. But in general it is a very nice and safe city.

Montpellier is a really beautifully city, old small street but also nice new places. The cultural offer is incredible and many free things to do. You must come to discover and even more easy as we have good local transportations ;)

From my personal experience i feel safe, i’ve heard stories that can make you feel a bit worried but i think it depends on which part of the city you are in and what time you are out, but overall i think i can say it is safe

Solo travel
Montpellier is one of my favourite cities in France :) Travelling solo there was a lot of fun. I really appreciated that the city is close to the sea & that the people are really relaxed & open-minded.
