Is Paris Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

In 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.

I 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.

Family travel

I 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.

My 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)

Hi! 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:)

Paris 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.

Paris 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

Beautiful experience, Paris was way safer than I expected , felt very comfortable and the atmosphere was very pleasant, we stayed for 3 days at the Hotel Gavarni, close the Eiffel Tower. Very beautiful interior design , beautiful aesthetic, clean and staff very respectful and welcoming. I loved Paris .

Besides an incident that happened right when i was going to the airport after my trip, it was relatively safe. My budget was very little, but i managed to visit some places like museums and parks. I recommend Ha Noi 1988, the food is very good

Paris is big, so it really depends on where you are. The most touristy places are somewhat safer from harassment and assault, but there are more people pickpocketing and stuff. If you're not comfortable walking around alone at night, avoid some areas in the 18th and 19th arrondissement (the closer you get to the outside of Paris). Otherwise, it really depends so it's hard to generalise.

Not the safest place ever, but i've lived here for quite some time and i've never had any major issue ! I have experienced weird looks from time to time, but never really a difficult experience. However, take care about the neighborhoods you visit, some are less safe than others
