Very beautiful city. Lots of tourists & I felt safe. Gorgeous weather. I ran around the city walls in the morning, about a 5km route. Great way to see the city. Food is very expensive but nice. The Popes Palace is deffo worth a visit, but don’t bother with the gardens. So much original artwork still in tact. Really amazing.
Posted: June 22, 2024Overall I felt very safe in Avignon. The reason I gave 4.5/5 instead of 5/5 is only because I was approached once or twice by tourist scammers on the street, but it was nothing aggressive and a simple “Non, merci.” Did the trick both times. Avignon is one of my fondest trips to date! I would recommend Avignon and the Provence / Vaucluse region of France to anyone!
Posted: January 17, 2024Charming food and culture. The weather in June is wonderful. When you stay close to the center, you can walk everywhere. I went to Ile de la Barthelasse by a free cruise. It's a beautiful place.

Avignon is a small and typical city from southern east of France. You can walk near the Rhône, visit le palais des Papes but also go to watch some play as the city hosts the biggest theater festival during summer !

It depends on where you go in the city. There are certain neighborhoods that are less desirable than others, but I've never had any trouble since I've been living here, and the people are very nice. The city is pleasant, and the surrounding cities are too.

Avignon is not a really safe city, there's a lot of crime about drugs and weapons, and when it's night there's a lot of weird men outside so be aware when you're going out. Also there are 2 police stations who are close to the center city.

Hi! I’m Lahari. I recently moved back to India from Singapore and wear many hats as a product designer, digital marketer, and creative thinker. Originally from Chennai. I’m a curious soul who thrives on learning, exploring, and connecting with people from different walks of life. Travel is my passion, and I believe every journey brings a new story to tell. I’m drawn to the simple joys of life—chasing sunsets, basking under the moonlight, and sharing meaningful conversations. I love to dance (urban kiz and bachata are my favorites!), cook for friends, make art, and write poetry. Creativity is at the heart of everything I do, whether it’s designing, writing, or whipping up a delicious meal. I’m also deeply spiritual and grounded in my values: kindness, inclusivity, and living in harmony with nature. I’m the kind of person who values authenticity and strives to make every connection meaningful.
