Is Bordeaux Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

Bordeaux is safe during the daytime, but you have to be careful at night, especially in the old town. I was followed by four men to the station after sunset, which was just a short walk to the station.

Gorgeous city, like Paris but less stressful. Much more laid back city. Highly recommend where we stayed: Maison la Course, small boutique hotel with daily breakfast included (served on porcelain, crystal & silver), massages in house, lovely all female staff at the time we were there.

Solo travel

I loved Bordeaux, I went on a wine tour and took a train to the sea. I also went on a bicycle tour. Bordeaux is 100% pedestrian friendly and it's beautiful.

Bordeaux is a very beautiful city where I feel safe. Despite this, it is a large city, so some neighborhoods are less pleasant at certain hours. But I highly recommend this great city.

Nice city, Feel safe, Transport (tramway, bus) are cleaned and very easy to take Not fare from the airport , by bus it can be 15min People are respectful Uber/Bolt are available at any time, not really expensive depends on location and destination, hours
