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...

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.

There are no problems during the day. Some neighborhoods are less than ideal at night. I live far from those areas. My neighborhood is safe even at night. If you'd like to talk to me about Brest and what there is to see, I'd be delighted.

It’s a very chill left wing city with lots of students. As everwhere night life can be a little scary for solo women, but other then that it feels really safe and people are super nice ! Maybe avoid shady streets with no lights at night if you’re alone…. The main streets with all the bars and restaurants are full of people and very safe. Brestois love to go out !

Brest is pretty safe, there is just some zones to avoid at night like rue Jean Jaurès, Siam, Pontanezen, the tramway and pretty much all the place with bar/alcohol. At day the city is safe and public transports are often monitored

I'm just finishing high school and would love to travel to meet new people, new cultures and new landscapes... I'd really like to be able to speak English properly, I still have some progress to make. This desire to travel and meet new people makes me want to do an exchange with a girl my age whose mother tongue is English.

Femme nomade qui bouge en fonction des chantiers navals 😁. Lors de mes voyages je cherche des safe places ou en tant que personne LGBTQ je puisse être sereine, et de même pour les hôtes soyez tranquilles, ambiance girl et aucun gros lourd mascu ne vous embêtera ici 🤣
