For Strasbourg is safe but sometimes you might meet strange people but I think it’s safe for a woman to walk alone during the day and maybe a little bit less at night but there’s not much worry to have, I was born there and I never encountered real problems. People there are also very nice in general i think. And what is nice is that we’re really close to Germany ( Kehl) which is also safe

In 7 years in Strasbourg, i surely know friends that have encountered some unsafe experiences, but overall, I've never truly had some myself. I keep my eyes open when walking by myself at night, mostly around bars. I feel safer on my bike for sure! In daylight, I would say the city is totally safe, just keep your purse around you even seated at the terrace

Pretty safe city, never had any trouble with street harassment during my 3 years of living in the city even when walking during the night! there’s a lot of cameras in the city as well as safe spaces for women! The only problem would be that the city lights are turned off after 1am.

strasbourg is generally a very safe city to live in or visit 🌟 the only area where i’d be a bit cautious is around the train station 🚉 other than that, everywhere else feels peaceful and secure, day or night 🕊️✨
Posted: May 28, 2025Strasbourg is a safe city, I'm living here since 2007 and never experienced anything worse than my bike being stolen from my bike garage. I used to go alone in the city and public transport after dark and I've always been fine.

I think in Strasbourg it depends on the quarter. Some feel pretty safe, like Petite France or Robertsau. But, as all big city, some quarters are a bit dangerous for a woman alone. I prefer not to be alone in those. But transports are ok late at night.

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!
Posted: February 1, 2025Experienced: December, 2024I 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!☺️
