Paris was unforgettable! strolling along the Seine, admiring the Eiffel Tower, enjoying fresh air, and soaking up the city’s charm. Every corner felt magical. apart from a few events with people trying to scam and sell you products for much expensive prices, dont buy that

I feel safe walking around the city at night to my airbnb place. It’s always better to be attentive but nothing happened to me luckily and street is kinda empty. People are super nice, helpful, and willing to speak English! I had a good time there apart from the food poisoning from beef tartare😮💨

Full of people, there’s a half-hour line even to go to the bathroom. The churches are beautiful, especially the Saint Chapelle or San Denis. The metro is very easy to use. However, it’s extremely expensive— a bottle of water costs 6€.

Be careful of your belongings in dense touristy areas, you should be fine elsewhere. Mind your business at night. If anybody's bothering you, ignore them and walk away with purpose. Last two are my personal advice but it's worked great so far :)

Lyon is quite a safe city overall. Some areas are considered unsafe during the night, so you have to be more vigilant (maybe Guillotière, rue St Catherine, Perrache Train Station, Gare de Vaise). It's a big city, so you should always be careful.

Not very safe at night, especially for young women. But when the sun is out, everything goes fine. The city's reputation is quite bad because in 2020 a few bad events happened. It's really better now but I still don't go out alone at night.

Pretty much the unsafe places or the metros and the trains when they are fully crowded, especially in the touristic areas people just need to mind their luggage and handbags, metal considerate safe still specially if traveling as a group !

About me
Hej This is my first time using travelladies. Me and my friend Emily would love to travel while getting to know locals and other female travelers. We always try to create a mix of culture, nature, partying and relaxation while traveling and appreciate noodles with pesto as well as fancy new dishes we never heard of. We plan to stay in Copenhagen from 13-16 August. Afterwards we will work at à berry farm for one week. We are very much looking forward to getting to know you:)
