Is Paris Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel experience

Loved how safe the city is Beware of busy tourist areas but public transport is great and such a walkable city Enjoyed solo dining in cafes Did a group tour in Montmarte Tons of shopping options and great solo activities

Solo travel experience

I felt safe during the day but at night I’d make sure I’m never alone on the street and have always some cash on my in case of robbery. I ate quite well by cooking and would go out once a week and pay around 30€ per person. Attractions were incredible and Paris always entertains and people are very open.

Solo travel experience

I did not feel safe at all, especially near the bus station. It is dirty and unsafe; certainly not a place to stay during the night. I would not recommend staying there to wait for the bus, as it can be quite cold and unsafe.

Paris is safer than I expected! I am living in Barcelona and I would say Paris feels safer (Barcelona is nice as well, but at some places you need to be more careful!) People are also very nice and helpful even if I don’t speak French!

I felt safe but i was in touristic location, if you travel alone, be careful cause some places are not safe for solo women. S Choose your hostel with a lot of caution and don't hesitate to take an uber if you have long distance to do in non touristic place. Stay safe girlies ❤

I loved Paris, as a female I did feel very safe, however I didn't stray too far away from touristy areas. I only spend a few days there but enjoyed every minute, I highly recommend the catacombes. I'd love to go back.

Paris is an insanely expensive place but that is no surprise. It is very dirty and unsafe. Pickpocketers EVERYWHERE (especially in the metro, be careful!), I am pretty sure there were gun shots one night and veganism is just not at all a thing here (I found exactly one place that had vegan meals). But, the metro system is very easy to understand (ALWAYS BUY TICKETS though. They'll corner you in a tunnel underground and chase runners and make them pay). Also it is a very vibrant and alive city, you'll never run out of things to do or see. I went to paris alone, as a couple and in a group and it was always really great. Just really take care of your stuff and be aware of what areas you are in.

Solo travel experience

Paris is my first solo travel experience. I really liked the time I spent there alone. I stayed in a hostel and it was really enjoyable for me because I met people around the people and everything. I’m still keep in touch with one of them. Exploring the city alone, trying the food and walking around the city was perfect. But as you know, Paris is not a safe city. You always should open your eyes and be carefull about your stuff.

Couple travel experience

Of all the countries I visited, I liked Paris the most. Many people do not like Paris and find its people rude. I was very happy and felt safe in Paris. We went with my husband for our honeymoon. I was amazed by the Eiffel Tower. It is very enjoyable to watch the Eiffel Tower at night.

Solo travel experience

I originally started out as an au pair in Paris and planned to stay there for a year, but in the end, I returned home because of family. I was a quite far from the city and told my host family that I'd like to get closer for my remaining time there, so I moved into another person's home I haven't met before, then I did petsitting while I was there and I had a blast, it was totally safe. Met so many new people all around the world, totally recommend.

Paris is a very beautiful city to visit. The city of lights. The city of lovers. The city for lovers of both old and new architecture. One can walk day and night without getting bored. There are beautiful gardens of all types.

When you take your phone out on the street, pay close attention to your surroundings. Never put your phone, wallet or valuables in the back pocket of your pants. Never leave your belongings unattended. Don't put all your eggs in one basket! So avoid carrying all of your money in the same wallet, or all your credit cards if you have several. Try to carry as few valuable items as possible. Always keep a critical mind when approached by strangers on the street. Make sure strangers cannot steal your belongings. If you experience theft or witness a theft, report it to the nearest police station.

Group travel experience

Paris is a beautiful place with so many interesting activities to do, mostly for people who loves their historical places, like museums or the palaces around the city. They have an amazing architecture. The food is honestly not that good but there are always fast food options around.

Group travel experience

I was traveling with my group mates (7 girls). We visited every place we planned to visit. I definitely got the "Paris effect", expected a lot, got a little disappointed, because didn't have enough time to explore the city, I was there only for four days, couldn't stay more, it was during spring break at uni. If I had more time this trip could have turned out much better, I suppose. If you like clubbing, GO TO BASTILLE AREA!!! It's definitely worth its price, just book everything for more than four days😂
