Is Brest Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

I'm here as an exchange student from Germany. I stayed 2 month already and I really like the sea, the château, les Capucins, the public transport and the open-minded people. I feel save walking and joggging alone at the day. Sometimes when it begins to get dark i feel scared of some strange man. But in the buses i feel always safe and comfortable. The tram is okay in the evenings but not always that confortable alone. Especially when you are a young woman. All in all I would recommend to visit this beautiful city and mabey you also will fall in love with the language, people and the charm of this city. Best wishes

Overall, I feel safe walking in brest event during late hours. It’s a beautiful and quiet city with cool places to explore. Although the prices here are somewhat expensive compared to other European countries, they’re still reasonable. The restaurant here are diverse and you can find anything you like here.

I generally feel very comfortable in the city center. I spend a lot of time in Les Capusins, in particular, and feel very safe and comfortable there. During the day, I have no qualms about walking around or jogging outside. Most of the people I've met are open and very friendly. In the evening, you do sometimes meet strange men. But I feel safe on the buses. It's fine on the tram in the evening, but I sometimes feel uncomfortable.

It's pretty safe everywhere, except the bad neighborhood like Pontanézen, Bellevue, Recouvrance, or maybe Lambézélec. These neighorhoods are okay during the day, but could be dangerous at night. The port or the streets of Siam, Jean-Jaurès or Liberté have bars and nightclubs, so you will meet people at night, but nothing ever happenned to me there (except a guy whistling at me like if i was a dog)
