How safe is Toulouse?

Some areas are to be avoided, especially at night. But the city center in itself is okay to me. I've never been assaulted or felt very unsafe in Toulouse, but that may be as well because I don't go out at night in well known unsecured areas. I would say some harassment from guys is likely to happen tho. People are usually very helpful in this town, so as long as you are surrounded by other people, I guess that should be fine, and someone will intervene in case you are bothered by a guy.

I think Toulouse is pretty safe. Not the safest place on earth but I've been living here for 10 years and I generally feel safe here. People can come talk to you unsolicited and be annoying sometimes, but usually when it happens, people around will notice and keep an eye on the interaction. Some parts of the city are a little bit more sketchy at night, but overall the city's pretty cool. Even if I'm always careful when going out, I never felt like I couldn't go home alone or take public transportation.

Toulouse is a pretty safe city. I am mostly worried, because I am a women living alone. But it is pretty ok to leave here. All te public transport have videos watching if something happen, and thereare security gards everywhere in the evening.

A lot of people hanging out. Nothing to fear if you are not alone. Stay near main places and lights. Take care while taking public transports, a lot of bar and more opened up so feel free to go near them if you want to escape someone

I don't feel in danger in Toulouse, there are lots of people all the time and everywhere which helps to have that feeling of security. However, as in almost all cities, some people are ill-intentioned. I know a boy who was hit twice and a girl who had something in her drink. On the other hand, every time there was a problem (so the 3 times I was confronted with this kind of problem) people came to our aid.

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.
