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.

Lots of guys ask for your Snapchat, lol. I was always hesitant to walk around Noailles at night. One day I was biking around looking for a rooftop to watch the sunset with some music, put the GPS on without knowing where I was going and suddenly boom, a whole area full of heroin junkies. Still, most parts of Marseille felt lively and friendly, and I never had any real trouble.

Marseille is a cosmopolitan and big city but it s has its own charms thanks to the mountains and the see nearby. It is also a city with strong history. Even though in some neighbourhoods it sucks most of them are safe ! You are never bored in Marseille !

Marseille is safe if you know exactly where to go depending on what you need to see. I live in marseille since two years and I can say that I feel safe wherever I go. Besides, you have to know that there's some places where it's a bit not safe and I'm basically just avoid it because literally there's nothing special to do there.

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 🏖
