Is Strasbourg Safe for Women?

Strasbourg is a beautiful tourist city. There are police making rounds in the city center. There are no crimes to my knowledge. There is a bit of street harassment in certain neighborhoods but not in the city center. There is no fear in walking alone during the day or at night.

Strasbourg is really a safe place. It is not like Paris or Marseille, it is a big city but I always feel safe there. I go out in the night, and, even if I don't trust men, nothing happened to me yet, so I think you all might feel safe too.

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.

Solo travel

I felt very safe in Strasbourg, it’s a welcoming and charming city. I highly recommend walking around La Petite France, visiting the cathedral, and enjoying a boat tour on the Ill river. For food, the traditional winstubs are a must—Flammekueche is delicious! I stayed near the city center which was very convenient and lively. Getting around was easy thanks to the trams and the fact that most places are walkable. My itinerary was a mix of cultural visits, long walks, and good food, which made the experience unforgettable.
