It depends a lot on the neighborhood Avoid the north of Paris at night if you are alone, especially the 18th, 19th and 20th. The south of Paris is safer, a lot of families in the 15th and a very calm neighborhood but less animations if you want to go out

Depends on the districts... Please, don't stay alone at night in the 18ème Arrondissement - and even 20ème. But overall, it's alright. I would highly recommend partying the Marais : it's the LGBTfriendly district, you could not be safer at night
Posted: September 28, 2025Paris is safe, if you go to the right neighborhood. I grew up here and still, as a woman, I would not recommand to travel there alone. Tourists are easily recognizable, and so easily robbed, or worse … Would recommand if you are careful and go out at center/west, but not the east side.

Paris safety really depends of the neighborhood. Personality I m living in a safe one. But as every huge city, there are some risks in Paris especially of being robbed in the transportation or street.

Stay safe on the roads and on public transport. Avoid tourist scams and you’ll be fine. The French that I have met are kind and friendly. The food depends on the shop you visit, really. So choose wisely :)) Lots of activities to do, especially for those who love arts.
