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
Posted: April 11, 2025It 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.
Posted: April 2, 2025Marseille 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.

Marseille is the biggest city in south France. It allows you to go check a lot other places in south of France by train/buses. You can also enjoy the sea and typical food there. Some neighbor (in North) and quite not safe for solo female so please stay in the center ! And not to close to the train station. Enjoy !

This Mediterranean city is rich in culture, color, and contrasts. I live in a nice neighborhood, not far from the sea, in an urban part of the city near the metro station Rond-Point du Prado. Marseille isn’t the safest city in every corner. Some neighborhoods can be risky, especially at night. For girls, I’d recommend always going out accompanied, just to stay on the safe side. With a little caution, you can still enjoy everything this unique city has to offer!

Hi! My name is Valentina. I’m 24 years old and currently living in Marseille but I am from Serbia. I work as a judo trainer. I enjoy helping kids grow through sport and discipline. Right now, I’m more of an “inside girl”, this city can be a bit overwhelming for someone who loves nature and peaceful places. But life brought me here for work, and I’m doing my best to make the most of it. I’d love to start crossing my own boundaries, share good moments, and spend meaningful time with someone open, kind, and full of life. Maybe that’s you? To all the amazing girls out there—I’d be truly happy to host you if you're passing through. My door is open, and good company is always welcome!

Traveling solo can be pretty intimidating, especially when you're young. And when you're a woman, it adds another layer of challenge with everything happening in the world today. That’s why I’m hoping to find good advice from fellow travelers, a sense of hospitality, and maybe even create some great memories along the way. Traveling brings me so much joy—it’s turned me from a shy girl into someone full of confidence. I can’t wait to repeat the experience!!!
