Paris is mostly safe, but keep an eye out for pickpockets in crowded areas. Walking along the Seine, exploring Montmartre, and catching a jazz night were highlights, while overpriced tourist traps are worth it. The food scene is incredible—amazing bakeries everywhere, L’As du Fallafel for a quick bite, and classic French bistros for a long, indulgent dinner. Budget-wise, it’s not cheap, but avoiding touristy spots helps. Accommodation depends on the area—Le Marais is charming, but staying near the Eiffel Tower feels overrated. The metro is efficient but packed, while walking remains the best way to explore. As for the itinerary, Paris is best enjoyed without a rigid plan—just stroll, discover, and soak it all in. ❤️💄
Posted: March 10, 2025Experienced: February, 2025In paris i felt nearly as safe as in my home town. Everything was good, and not very expensive. A good city to just take a walk without destination and admire the city itself. It has it's own identity wich is soooo good.

I spent New Year’s in Paris with my partner, and at first, it was beautiful. Museums, romantic streets, and that classic Parisian charm. But then, reality hit someone stole my phone. Just like that, all my photos were gone, and of course, they didn’t sync. So instead of a dreamy trip, I got a firsthand lesson in how much stealing happens there. Let’s just say Paris was not the city of love for me that day.
Posted: February 19, 2025I stayed at the St. Christopher Canal Inn. The hostel was pretty good and safe. Met some really good people there. I didn’t feel safe in Paris, especially at night. Even during the day, walking through some streets near Montmartre was a bit of cautious experience. While the public transport was pretty clean (it smelled bad), it was often too crowded and the risk of pickpocketing made me feel pretty unsafe.
Posted: February 14, 2025I felt mostly safe in the touristic areas. I visited the tour Eiffel, notre dame, la seine, the Louvre... It was easy to move with the subway, you can buy carnet of tickets for three days or a week.
Posted: February 9, 2025My time in Paris was way better than I expected! I LOVED the museums, which you can mostly visit for free under a certain age. Live music at midnight at the Eifel Tower was a truly unique experience. But watch out which parks you enter and trust your intuition. We got into a shooting at a park full of drug dealer (we had luck and could escape early enough)
Posted: January 18, 2025Hi! Paris has many activities to offer. It's a great place to travel as a student, bacause if you are under 26 and from EU you can visit many museums for free (also museum of Louvre and Versailles). I wouldn't say it was one of my favourite destinations to travel, but maybe it's just me, bacause I usually prefer nature. I really enjoyed art museums and just exploring different streets with different vibes. Food and accomondatioms are quite expensive. I would reccomend to go eating out of center, or just buying a baguette, cheese and wine and enjoy cheap but a nice french meal:)
Posted: January 15, 2025Paris was a very nice trip with my girlfriend. As a queer couple we were a bit worried at first but it was soo nice! Paris is a big city with many things to explore and see. Also I loved that you get free entrance at many places if you are under the age of 36 and an eu member.
Posted: December 30, 2024Paris was such a nice trip! I went there with my girlfriend and felt very safe. Aswell as a queer cupple I was a bit worried about being in Paris but the city is very big with lots of different people and very open to the queer community. We did a lot of things. The food was great. I liked the train system and overall feeling of the beautiful city. As well it’s really nice that you get free entrance at so many places if you are from the eu and under 36

Paris is generally safe, but like any big city, watch out for pickpockets, especially in tourist areas and on public transport. Stick to well-lit areas at night, and you’ll be fine. Scams are common, so ignore random strangers asking for signatures or friendship bracelets.
Posted: March 10, 2025Depends on the neighborhood to be fair, you can check which ones are safer. I think the safety is like in any capital city, always be careful with your phone and bags, especially in the subway and in the train stations, but overall you can still walk safely. The good thing is that Paris is always crowded, day and night, so you’ll always find someone to go talk to if you do not feel safe.
