Is Strasbourg Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Strasbourg

Strasbourg is a safe city! As a woman, it’s one of the cities where I feel the safest, but of course there are always exceptions: the train station area and certain streets in the city center late at night can be complicated (especially place Homme de fer).

Just be careful while taking the tramways, hide your smartphones. Don't pay attention to the people asking you to sign a petition. Otherwise the city is rather safe. The cities outside of Strasbourg are also safe (and worthy of your visit)

The city center is rather safe in general to walk in and discover solo, including at night. But as anywhere else, there are some neighbourhoods (such as Elsau, Neuhof, Hautepierre...) which are better to avoid even for locals. Those neighbourhoods though are not touristic areas.

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.

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!☺️
