I found it safe, the people were helpful but in night i was a bit scared so i tired to alesata nott go outside or if i did to go with someone else but i loved the city and during the day i loved spending time there so i recomend it
Posted: September 5, 2025i have heard some horror stories from friends of mine but i have never experienced anything worse than the usual amount of sexual harassment that happens in a bigger city. overall i do feel fairly safe in the city and the biggest lie ever is that places like the 19th are unsafe, there are mostly families and it changed a lot in recent years so definitely don’t miss out on it because of racist assumptions people make about it.
Posted: September 4, 2025Be careful of pickpockets in paris, especially in tourist areas. At night, try not to go out alone or visit unfamiliar places like streets whiteout lights. Trust your instincts if a place or situation feels unsafe, leave right away

You have to be careful to your stuff in public spaces but it is the case in every big city. But as a woman you have to be aware of the harassment you can be a victim of in the street (it's of course not your fault at all but it happens a lot in that city when you live in for a long time)

Paris has too much too offer so you will never ran out of things to do. I went in summer, the weather was amazing but I didn’t feel the crowds. There are a lot of places/parks you can visit for free. Paris is quite dirty in some places (the smell of urine is something else) so don’t expect a fairytale.. it can be as cheap as you make it - I ate a lot in bakeries as the pastries are too good to be true.. A lot of places are closed in August as people go on holidays so be warned
