20 years living there I've only experienced one homeless man being pushy with me at a tramway station. But my friends all have many creepy events to tell especially weird old men in the tramway so even if you should be safe overall, I'd suggest staying in parts of the tramway that are at least a bit crowded.

In my experience, Strasbourg is a relatively safe city, with the exception of the neighborhood surrounding the bus and railway stations, especially at night, as well as the Chronenbourg area. Pickpocketing is fairly rare, aside from more crowded places (such as the cathedral, Place Kléber, during Christmas market season).

Never had a problem. Even when it’s quietest and darkest, there’s nothing to be afraid of. I’d just avoid parks after dark, though. It’s a student city, so there are young and friendly people everywhere.

Strasbourg is an overall safe city compared to other ones in France. I can walk back home at nights without fearing to be assaulted. But one night someone stole my phone directly from my hand. It is the only problem i had here.

I think Strasbourg is quite safe if you stick to the center. I didn't have any particular issue but you should always be careful. Plus, there is always people in the street until midnight so you can always ask

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 :)

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!☺️

About Me

Hey 🌞 my name is Tirana. I’m 27 years old and live with my daughter in Strasbourg. I would love to find some travel buddies or just fun people to hang out with. Love to travel and explore new places but also appreciate just relaxing sun baths at a beach, with good food and a white wine. Festivals and concerts are always pure joy for me, having a group of fun girls to enjoy it together would be awesome! You travel with kids ? Perfect! Let our kids improve there English skills and making friends all over the world. 🌍 We live in a house at the country side of Strasbourg, there are buses very close to the city center, also I have 2 bikes you could use if you want to! 2 cats also live with us (and the strays I can’t stop feeding hanging out at the garden) Let’s connect ☺️ Everyone is welcome !!! 🏳️‍🌈
