Is Paris safe for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

Paris is a lovely city. Not exactly only in the tourist spots! On my first visit, I didn’t realise Paris as it is, I was in a group and they were very worried about tourist spots. And then I didn’t find the then famous “city of love”. Now in my second time, I discovered the city of love, and I’m not talking about being with someone! Yes, in being with you and finding love in the delicacy of architecture, in the decoration of cute bistros or listening to musicians performing in the late afternoon of the Jardin des Tuileries or sitting down to eat a snack at Jardin du Luxembourg Paris brings art both in its museums but also to be contemplated on the street for everyone 🤍

Stay safe on the roads and on public transport. Avoid tourist scams and you’ll be fine. The French that I have met are kind and friendly. The food depends on the shop you visit, really. So choose wisely :)) Lots of activities to do, especially for those who love arts.

Paris has too much too offer so you will never ran out of things to do. I went in summer, the weather was amazing but I didn’t feel the crowds. There are a lot of places/parks you can visit for free. Paris is quite dirty in some places (the smell of urine is something else) so don’t expect a fairytale.. it can be as cheap as you make it - I ate a lot in bakeries as the pastries are too good to be true.. A lot of places are closed in August as people go on holidays so be warned

Family travel

Paris can be a very beautiful place to visit if you know where to go. I recommend to do some research in advance and it will be fine. There’re a lot of great restaurants especially Asian and African food is great. And their pastries 🥐 are one of the best things ever. My family chose to go to Disneyland Paris and it was beautiful especially for the younger ones. I recommend it. Be careful at tourist areas. I don’t recommend buying anything from the people on the street. Most of them are trying to scam you and be prepared to spend a few bucks.

Yeah I can go to Paris again but take care of your stuff I stayed in a hostel , everything was very very goood it's name enjoy hostel rue plannet I think. Google maps in France in general is very useful

Be careful when you’re only a woman in Paris. Take care of you and don’t hang out too late alone. It’s a beautiful city, you’ve got a lot to see but you need to be aware that it’s not the most safe city.

There is a lot of atmosphere in the streets so it helps to feel good. I live in a lively neighborhood and on a main street, so there is light and people. Sometimes there's noise, but you get used to it.

I think that like all type of big city it’s safe but there is place where you don’t have to go. But you can be alone just be careful during night. And always stay in the center of Paris. I will recommend you to look for an apartment in the middle of Paris and not far away. It is safe, it’s in Europe but it could be safer

Paris is a great city to live in and to visit as a solo woman. In some suburbs, tourist areas and subway train lines you may have to be more attentive to petty theft and pickpockets. Paris and its surrounding area are full of amazing museums, cultural events, activities and it is very well linked to the rest of France: 2hours to Strasbourg and Lyon by train, 1h30 to Nice or Marseille by plane. Paris can be your starting point to get to anywhere in France. Charles de Gaulle airport offers a nice shopping mall and cinema only few minutes far by shuttle.

Yo be honest it depends on where you go. I would say that the center is pretty ok. You always have crazy people in the subway or streets like everywhere haha. It’s a bit less safe when you go to northern suburbs. Also the bus in the night (paris métro does not work the night so you have buses in replacement) are sometimes not that safe. I would maybe recommend to take ubers. But i don’t wanna be scary tbh bc overall it’s pretty ok !!
