The city center is quite safe even by night, it's always busy. Some neighborhood are to avoid but it's still not too bad. The transports are also quite safe, they are always people and girls are very present.
Posted: December 27, 2024It is safe but there are places reputed to be less safe. However, generally, I never heard more than guys being annoying with women in the streets. Personally, I hang out where I want how I want, Im just choosing the time and the person I hang out with to be sure I'm ok.

It is very safe ! I never had any problems in Montpellier. But there are some places who are more sûre than other. ( La gare, hôpitaux facultés, mosson, observatoire and plan cabane are not secure places, but the center is reaally secure)
Posted: December 24, 2024Montpellier 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
Posted: March 10, 2024Montpellier 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.
