I am a 20 yo student living in strasbourg, and i love this city ! It is really beautiful and calm. Concerning the safety, i wouk not recommend to you to walk at night alone in the center (place kleber, petite france…) but there are a lot of neighbouring that are a lot safer and still pretty !

France is quite a safe place to travel People are nice There are light in the street during the night and you have transport not all night but during a good part of the night You don’t have your worry a lot about someone stolen your stuff even if as always it’s better to keep it with you or to let it at your accommodation

It’s my hometown and I went out at night and never felt worried or be harassed. Some men can be rude at the closure time of the nightclubs when everyone are exiting the clubs but overall it’s really safe. Public lights are on after midnight and public transportations are still running late. During the day, no problem at all. No harassment or catcallings. You're really safe.

Strasbourg is a great city not too modern not too country side. Perfect blend of Culture and beauty. Transportation services are really cheap and connect you to every part of the city. It’s overall safe

Strasbourg is for me a safe town for solo female travelers. You can feel safe walking alone at night in almost every neighborhood. People are known to be friendly and help full. You can stay and relax in there :)

Strasbourg is from my experience a safe city, i never had problem at night walking home alone but by bike is even more ideal. it s a city with a lot of students, so at night there can be a nice party atmosphere and you can easily meet young people when you walk home.

To me Strasbourg is very safe, indeed I live in the city center so everything is at maximum 15-20min walks. I often went home by foot at night. It’s a very student city so I feel at ease during the night or during the day. Alsacien people are very welcoming also. Strasbourg is like any other big cities really in terms of security I would rate it overall 6,5/10 (10 would be max safety)

All is about where you live, you'll feel safer in different zones like near to the Univeristy, but if you live close to the train station (as always) it might be a dangerous place to walk through alone in the dark/at night. Even in the city center you'd always have to be carefull.

Strasbourg is a safe place to stay. I have never been about worried about my safety here. I often walk to get back home late at night and i've never had any safety issue. I've been approach when i was chilling alone in a parks, or in stores, but if you tell them you're not interested and go away or just ignore them they will leave you alone.

Strasbourg is a lovely historic city with an old soul, and yet such vibrant and young energy ! Like most big cities in France it is a very safe environment, but it can feel uneasy late at night and depending on where you are (I’m not fond of the train station district for instance). Public transportation is very safe, but here the national sport is cycling, which is affordable with bikes that you can rent! I do recommend securing your bike with a heavy lock, as bike theft is very common, even for experienced locals like myself….

Solo travel

Traveling solo through Strasbourg on a low budget was an amazing experience! I felt super safe, even at night, which made exploring the city so much more enjoyable. The Strasbourg Cathedral is an absolute must-see—the details are incredible! Unfortunately, I didn’t make it up to the viewing platform, but even from the ground, it’s stunning. The city is full of cute little streets that are perfect for wandering, with charming cafés and half-timbered houses everywhere. Definitely a great destination for solo travelers!

Solo travel

I visited Strasbourg around the Christmas time- which is, if you are familiar, the fullest and most beautiful version of the city. It was really crowded, but the city itself is so beautiful and there were too much to see so it didn’t cause any problems. The Christmas market was awesome, everything tasted so good! Overall the spirit and vibe of Strasbourg created a magical environment. I was there with 3 of my friends but I believe a solo trip should also be as good. Have fun!☺️

Hi to the team ! I’m Alex and with my friend Val we’re travelling around by bike from France. We are more than excited to meet new friends on the way, to meet up for a beer or a ride around ur area. We’re also on the look for some place to stay on the way, it doesn’t necessary need to be a bed, a place to put our tent or some room on the floor is more than enough. Excited to meet up all ! Cheers
