Is Montpellier safe for solo female travelers?

Montpellier is generally a safe city for solo female travelers. Crimes are relatively low and major tourist areas are regularly patrolled by local police. Day-to-day activities can be carried out without much worry. However, like in any other city, it's always wise to be cautious, especially during late hours in less populated areas, to avoid any potential safety issues.

Solo travel

I stayed with local woman who hosted me in her beautiful apartment for one night. It was amazing experience. First we had a coffee and little chat in one of the cute coffee places and then we went to her place to have a dinner and a bit of wine. After that she gave me her keys so I could come back whenever I wanted. I connected with one more french girl, so I went for a drink with her. I came back slightly after 22 and next day I left early to be able to discover the city. I went to Musée Fabre and enjoyed walking around the old part of the city. I found it fascinating. This city definitely has a charm. I stayed there just 2 days but I felt in love with the place, thanks to my host as well. She gave me many tips and I was happy to listen to her stories.

Montpellier is one of my favourite cities in France :) Travelling solo there was a lot of fun. I really appreciated that the city is close to the sea & that the people are really relaxed & open-minded.

There most are theft in the city. You have to pay attention to your stuff. But people would be kind to you if you get lost, you don't have to be affraid to talk to someone. Whoever, you may prefer to talk with young people. They are ofter more open minded.

Montpellier is generally safe for tourists, but like any major city, it comes with a few caveats. If you’re planning to explore the city, a bit of street smarts and awareness will go a long way.

I personnally did not feel unsafe while travelling in Montpellier. People are really kind and welcoming, nothing and no one bothered me during my stay. This city is really fantastic culturally and there’s a lot of great minorities-friendly places :)
