How safe is Paarl?
Paarl is a scenic, Winelands valley. Generally, it’s safe during the day if you stick to the main parts of town. As with any place, there are dodgy areas: I would steer clear of Paarl East, Mbekwenie and Lady Grey Street. Those are hot spots to get mugged/assaulted. Daytime in Paarl is stunning and the nightlife is also not too shabby restaurant-wise. It’s a growing town, with many beautiful mountainous areas, but if you’re out and about at night, I’d recommend going with at least one other person. Paarl is one of the safer towns in South Africa, especially compared to hubs like Cape Town or Joburg.
