How safe is Paris?

Paris is a safe place. Personally I feel safe in underground and walking alone in the street. However if you are in crowded areas especially touristic areas, you must be careful of pickpockets.

Paris is mostly safe during the daytime but it depends of which area you’ll be in. But at night it’s jr safe at all there’re many weird people and I’ve been followed many times while walking back home.

Like any other big city, but on the safer side. Walking alone at night is generally okay, but still depending on the areas. During the day, there is people pretty much everywhere. Apart from a few isolated cases, there are no areas that feel really unsafe during the day

Paris changes depending on the districts, some are considered dangerous, unlike others that are very safe. You should not be careless at night. Besides that, you are unlikely to have problems during the day. (Except for phone theft and pickpockets)

Paris is all in all kinda okay, there’s just really specific place to be more careful about. It’s been 4 years I’m living there, i have been confronted to pickpocket one time. There is just sometimes strangers talking to you drunk at night in the street, but it have been rlly rare to feel threatened

Paris is generally safe because there are always lots of people around, but it's best to avoid deserted areas at night. I never feel in danger during the day when I go to university using public transport or when I go out for a walk, but I do sometimes feel scared when coming home late at night.

It’s safe to be honest for girls trip it’s just that people should be more careful when it comes to certain areas.. there are some arrondissement that are really not safe like 18 eme or even near to Trocadéro.. don’t trust stranger men and you’ll be fine

I think that Paris is a very safe city, people are nice, If I am in trouble people help me, they never bother me, I feel very happy living here. There are people everywhere so I feel safe, in public transport as well.

My neighbourhood is quite safe, I am always cycling so maybe it makes me feel different than walking but I feel safe and so did the person I've been hosting. Sometimes some guys are dealing close to my building but they are not aggressive.

Is Paris worth visiting?

Travel rating

4.5 /5

based on 119 experiences from female travelers

Couple travel

My time in Paris was way better than I expected! I LOVED the museums, which you can mostly visit for free under a certain age. Live music at midnight at the Eifel Tower was a truly unique experience. But watch out which parks you enter and trust your intuition. We got into a shooting at a park full of drug dealer (we had luck and could escape early enough)

Solo travel

Hi! Paris has many activities to offer. It's a great place to travel as a student, bacause if you are under 26 and from EU you can visit many museums for free (also museum of Louvre and Versailles). I wouldn't say it was one of my favourite destinations to travel, but maybe it's just me, bacause I usually prefer nature. I really enjoyed art museums and just exploring different streets with different vibes. Food and accomondatioms are quite expensive. I would reccomend to go eating out of center, or just buying a baguette, cheese and wine and enjoy cheap but a nice french meal:)
