Like any big cities, Toulouse sees a diverse crowd. It's generally safe during the days and, even at night, I would be ok walking in the city center or the more touristy spots. However, as a woman, you never feel 100% safe at night, especially in less busy areas. There are some neighbourhoods (in the south-est of the city mostly) that I would avoid but those areas don't have really anything to see there anyway.

Toulouse is a fairly safe city overall, there are just a few areas to avoid at night, such as Empalot, Le Mirail and Borderouge. Most public transport is safe, it runs until late at night so it's easy to get home safely.
Posted: May 19, 2025Toulouse is a very safe city, sometimes, people drink too much and can be annoying in the metro or in the street (mainly Saturday nights), but overall, it’s a pretty nice place to be in. There are some places to avoid if you don’t wanna take risks, but the city center is very safe.

Well, I'm a very anxious person so I tend to sur estimate the danger everywhere. The public transportation is great, I take it everyday and nothing bad happens to me but.. sometimes there are strange people like everywhere who make me afraid (hopefully the security is here in case). I don't really go out at night but the time that I did nothing really happened so I think it may be safe to go out at night.

I've never heard of any terrifying story of crime or harassment in Toulouse. It is a very safe city, I've lived there for around 4 years. I have been followed by men a few times but I asked for help immediately and people were very reactive, sometimes I didn't even needed any help because people were noticing the problem, or they eventually left me alone.

Yes, I feel mostly safe there, but man also can make me feel terrible, sorry I loved to going on a foot walk along the river, unbelievable view! I'm had budget and stand in family house, so no needs for paying rent. Also we liked to pick up packages of food that were about to expire (this helps both save money and preserve nature). And the food there was really good and tasty.

Hello ladies! I'm a passionate traveller and world citizen, with a particular interest in an organic lifestyle, empowering girls & young women and animal/marin life preservation. I love connecting with people form different countries, cultures and religions to share both deep discussions, but also just to goofy around and enjoy the joyfulness of life itself. I'm an easy going person, curious, self-driven and very adaptable. I love to stretch the limits of my comfort zone, by challenging myself in all kinds of ways. I'm up for adventurous endeavours, cultural visits, culinary discoveries. My way of travelling varies depending on the destination, but I priviledge simplicity and authenticity. I walk a looooot! And I love to ride my 🏍️ Last year I had spent 45 000 hours on Spotify, so music is a great deal of my life. I've been trying to learn drums this year :)

Ola ! I live in a small apartment in a quiet residence in Toulouse, France. I would be happy to welcome visitors, if my 29m² to share is suitable for the visitors ahah. I know the city well and the nice places, I would also be happy to show around. I have two cats who are adorable and curious little cat-dogs. Do not hesitate to contact me, I would be happy to meet new people.
