How safe is Strasbourg?

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….

I don't feel safe in night in my city, lights are turn off the night for economics and ecologicals reasons. Public transit don't inspire good vibes at night too, incivility, no inspections, and they stop early so you have to take a cab if you don't have a car

Pretty safe city. I sometimes feel worried around the Gare area at night, because of shady people hanging out in the streers, but no one has ever assaulted me. Especially in winter : streets are quite empty at night because of the cold

Strasbourg is a very pleasant and safe city. Easy to get around by foot or bicycle and public transport. Lots of feminist events organised by the city. Been there over a year now and i feel very safe even at night.

Strasbourg, a very important European city, is everyday guarded by police and soldiers. People are friendly, and almost ever I have heard or seen any kind of danger mentioned on the list. I absolutely recommend it as a safe city!

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!☺️
