Is Montpellier Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Montpellier

The streets are usually not empty, generally people are kind and eager to help. There are a lot of women in the streets. Comparing Montpellier to Marseille, Montpellier feels much safer. Didn't have much bad experience. Only one time in 4 months a stranger was being a bit clingy but he left in 5 mins.

The city is overall very safe, especially in the historic center of Montpellier. There are some homeless people but they aren’t dangerous. I had a few harassment experiences but nothing serious, and I have no problem to walk alone after the club (for example). Stay safe ladies, but be reassured in Montpellier and have fun ! :)

Montpellier is a lovely city of the south of France, very sunny and the people are usually kind and easy to talk to. By day there is nothing to worry about as a woman travelling by herself, by night as a big city there are areas safer than others so it’ll be better to choose the rights areas to walk alone by night not to feel insecure and meet bad people but usually the public transports are pretty safe :)

Montpellier is safe if you know where you’re going and don’t argue with people who talk to you late, in the dark. During 5 years here, I was disturbe twice by people who were drunk. It’s twice too much but compared to other cities it’s okay.

Montpellier is a beautiful city with a lot of great places to explore but after dark it can be a bit dangerous for ladies to walk around in the city because you’ll meet a lot of drunk people ( man for the most of them) and they can be a bit annoying (talking to you, touching you…)

The different levels of safety depends on the location, the different areas ! The center of the city is pretty safe, public transports are mostly nice ! It's a very young and partying city center, a lot of opportunities to have fun and visit a lot of nice things exist but of course some areas are less safe outside the center and if you go there you might want to be with someone else !

it's a cool town but there's some place you have to avoid. I'm not afraid when I walk out alone but it's always risky (like everywhere) to walk alone at night. some of my friends got assaulted in the street so be careful but it doesn't happen every time (Fortunately)

Montpellier, compared to a lot of places around the globe, is very safe. Compared to other cities in France, it's not the best, but so are all the metropolis, no more no less. Some districts I wouldn't recommend, but overall it's safe, especially during the day.

Montpellier is safe globally but like every city, sometime you get worried. I usually go back home after party alone, most of the time I feel safe. You can definitively visit by your own and meet people easily

Depends on the place you're going to, but it's like any big city in France : some people are nice, some people are crap. It is a beautiful city but if you want to visit, go with a friend or by daylight in crowded places.

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.
