Is Marseille safe for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

Went here to visit a friend of mine! It's a really lovely city. Lot of things to do, people are nice and i feel safe overall, but i think It depends on the zone... Btw it's a really colorful city. Totally raccomand

I heard a lot how dangerous is Marseille, but we stayed in the downtown, so I guess it’s nothing dangerous about it The people were nice, much nicer than in Paris, there was some free concert on the street A lot of sightseeing places are completely free

Solo travel

It was honestly a beautiful city; I really loved the beach and the people are super friendly. To stay safe in this city, you should especially avoid going out alone at night and choose the neighborhood where you'll stay during your visit. You can find all types of cuisine possible to meet everyone's needs. There are many affordable transportation options, making it easy to get around the city.

Marseille was fun. We all heard it's super unsafe but didn't really feel like it. Of course I only stayed intramuros. Even at night walking with a friend felt okay. Always be careful but I'd say it's all good.

Marseille is a gorgeous place near hiking in the mountains, nightlife in the city, and beautiful beaches. Truly one of my favourite cities in the world! I felt very safe— even did a bit of hitchhiking around in the Calanques. Went cave diving and spent most of my time by the sea.

Safe on the right place don’t go to sketchy places and don’t look to drunk in the streets even if you are stay strong and act like a dangerous person and fearless when walking at night overall it’s pretty safe

I would definitely not recommend Marseille for solo female travellers !!! During the day, it might be OK, depending on where you are, but when it's dark please don't go out ! I have experienced some sexual arrassement even during the day. Don't walk near the train station, it's really dangerous. If you want to discover the calanques, it's better to go to Cassis, a small village really calm with beautiful places to swim 🏖

Marseille is apparently a very nice city. Unfortunately, it hides areas of extreme poverty and areas where dealing has become commonplace. Sometimes some nights there are gunshots, often a settlement of accounts. I don't recommend downtown Marseille at night. Marseille, we love it or we don't like it, because despite its shadowy share, it offers incredible landscapes and a truly rich culture.

Marseille is famous for not being safe, but for me, it's kind of like in a lot of big cities in Europe : it's safe until you know where not to go at a certain time of the day. If you stay in the famous areas, and not alone, it's ok (Vieux Port, Cours Julien..) Still, i recommend not to walk around for a long time by night alone ! And to always look after tour belongings ! But it's pretty calm in the day ☺️

The town is definitely safe. Obviously there are some places where there are badly intentioned people but in general walking as a woman is safe. The public transports are safe, people are usually very nice and would help you if you feel unsafe
