Solo travel

Grenoble was very nice. I got the chance to be hosted by a local for the weekend and she showed me around her favourite places. I loved the adventure of discovering a new city and especially through the eyes of someone who lives there and loves her city.

As long as you are in a group or on a bike, especially at night, you should be safe. Grenoble is a pretty city, but suffers from a bad reputation. Some areas are a no-go. But you can enjoy the city center quite safely during the day and the start of the evening. Public transportation is safe from what i saw.

Always men to catcall and/or stare, avoid walking alone at night and avoid letting men talking to you randomly in the street (it is rarely for anything but harassment). There is a good app that's call The Sorority, allows you to warn other women in case of problems, they have your location and can come help you.

Pretty safe city if you avoid « ghetto » parts, the center and the surrounding like « saint Egreve » are really calm and have a beautiful views of the mountains. During winter its better to not stay late at night cause past 00h The streetlights are off.
