Great experience as a solo traveller. Will recommend highly. Felt safe and welcome right from the airport! I don’t speak French but not a barrier. Taxi drivers are polite, I used Uber. Make sure to go downstairs to parking if you called an Uber not the taxi rank!

It was my first time in Europe. I felt very safe. I would be out all day and night sightseeing, exploring, meeting people and just having the time of my life. I could not recommend Paris enough to people.
Posted: October 3, 2024I visited the city multiple times, it's nice but a little but too over hyped in my opinion and ofc it's expensive but didn't expect anything else from Paris. If you never visited Paris you should definitely do
Posted: September 27, 2024Experienced: April, 2024I visited Paris by FlixBus from Germany. At the City I walked a lot. I felt safe all the time, even in the night. You can rent e-bikes if you want to drive home at night when the subway is closed. I stayed in a hostel, I recommend to book a flat in the Center next time to be more private and have less way back. I loved the food, there are a lot of bakery’s so you can enjoy a meal at the river. Negative: Paris is really expensive.
Posted: September 18, 2024Paris is not a safe city for women traveling alone, especially near popular tourist spots like the Eiffel Tower. There is a lot of harassment from strange men, people offering you things and practically forcing you to buy, as well as thefts, etc. Regarding itineraries, besides the classic places like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, I highly recommend the Palace of Versailles.

Paris does have problems with pickpocketing and scams and you shouldn't really travel alone there. I cannot remember the name of the place we stayed but it was quite nice and the breakfast options were good. We did the Eiffel Tower the River seinn Cruise and the Monpansse Tower. We also saw the arc de triumph and Notradam. Be sure to book the Eiffel Tower tickets online prior to departure as the queues are very long. For the main attractions get there early to avoid long lines. We got around by Metro. We bought a card with 10 rides each on it and we like that each ride counts as one journey regardless of changing trains or not unlike in London.
Posted: August 27, 2024Experienced: February, 2024I felt safe in Paris and had tons of fun attending concerts and doing 2 photoshoots. Public transport is easy to access and runs throughout the day and night. An excellent city for music and art lovers.
Posted: August 27, 2024I had great weather in Paris and used the bike as my main transport. I went a lot of sightseeing and didnt interact much with locals due to lack of time, but my experience overall was friendly. I was able to improve my french a little bit and dine well
Posted: August 21, 2024Experienced: August, 2023Did not feel safe at all at Gare Du Nord when walking to my hotel. However the city centre and the richer areas are definitely safer. Pastries were good especially the hot chocolate at Carette! I only stayed for one night tho

Definitely safe to walk at night when you are in groups of 2 or more. Didn’t have issues when walking alone but would avoid some arrondissements. Stick to touristic areas but watch your belongings applies for the metro too.
Posted: October 5, 2024Paris remains a safe city. Everything is not perfect and women still to behave carefully specially in certain areas but globally there is not a dangerous city I Would just recommend staying away from certain area mainly La Chapelle, Barbès, and some streets in Belleville by night Be careful also because there are a lot of pickpocket
