It’s a very safe town because there is a lot of student so young people. There is some men on the street that try to talk to you but not that much and they are mostly harmless don’t worry. The only thing is if you have a car, don’t let anything pricy on the dashboard but that’s really all.

Toulouse is safe, but some area can be a little dangerous at night, like around the Capitole But people are genuinely keen to help when they see something happening, they will come and ask if you’re ok

Toulouse is a nice city for safe travels, of course we always need to be aware of what is going on around us but I never had real troubles living there. It also depends where you go in Toulouse, but the center and touristic places are fine.

Toulouse's safety varies by neighborhood. Capitole and Saint-Cyprien are lively and generally safe, with police presence. Carmes and Côte Pavée are calm residential areas. Mirail and Empalot face higher crime rates. Safety improves with vigilance, especially in the evening.

Pretty safe as in Europe and France in general but still a big city so some parts are less safe than others (but they are usually poorer and don't have any touristic appeal. In the center 95% safe but yeah, still a big city so you still need to be cautious but not more than others French cities!

It's a safe city, of course you can have bad experiences, but generally speaking except in specific places I feel good in almost any outfit to walk around alone at night. The metro is very safe and closes late.

Overall Toulouse is a safe town but it’s better to be back home probably before 12pm, I do feel safe during the day time to walk around, I feel generally it’s a safe town and people are quite helpful

Toulouse is a welcoming city with friendly people. Its city center is very alive. Some areas are not advised to be visited but they are usually grouped together so it's easy to recognize them. The food here is great and the transport is quite efficient 😊

Toulouse is pretty much safe depending on the time of the day When there is a lot of events in the city center it is safe but in some empty streets it can be somehow dangerous especially far from the city center

Is Toulouse worth visiting?

Travel rating

4 /5

based on 4 experiences from female travelers

Solo travel

Easy to travel, safe at night, lots of vintage and an tique markets, beautiful city. Better to travel there during the fall since the city is so hot during the summer! The Botanical garden at Museum de Toulouse is a must.

Solo travel

It was a trip not very far from home, from the south of Spain, but it was one of my first solo trips. I didn't have much of a budget, so I chose Toulouse because I found a very cheap flight. The city in general seems safe to me, although I had some alarming experiences on the outskirts; a man followed me for a long time and it was hard to dissuade him. I would avoid the periphery if you don't know someone from the area, but in the center, I never had any problems. If you travel alone, you'll surely find another traveler in the same situation on the river steps watching the sunset.
