Family travel

Only issues I’ve encountered are with aggressive scammers and unlicensed vendors that get hostile when they hear “No.” Unfortunately, all of these incidents were with my child present. Safe otherwise.

Solo travel

I love Paris, a lot of rats sadly lol but overall I loved the attractions, the museums, the parks, the views and the architecture. I had a lot of options for activities. I met cool people. The locals were surprisingly nice. Some areas did feel sketchy but I was fine. The metro is a M A Z E. The more you use it the more you get used to it I feel like. I’ve been to bad, busy and confusing stations but I still didn’t run into any problems.

Group travel

Paris is a stunning city with incredible corner houses and beautiful, large urban spaces, especially the towers and Notre Dame de Paris, as well as the Opera Garnier. In Paris, I was particularly impressed by delicacies such as foie gras, Parisian pastries and desserts. I would like to come back here again.

Paris is kinda safe during the day. Be careful with pickpockets. At night you'll prefer to stay in populated areas. I never had any problems but it can happen. And men can be problematic when boozed so be careful while hanging out. Keep an eye on your drink, don't let anyone bring you one, avoid being alone with one of them. I think it's the same all over the world but it's always good to say it again.

Pretty safe during the day if you stay within the main city. Solo female travellers should avoid Saint-Denis (no, it‘s not a stereotype) and be cautious in the 10th and 20th arrondissement. At night, definitively watch out! Also, avoid placing your phone on tables in restaurants or using it openly in the metro - it‘s gonna get snatched out of your hands faster than you would believe.

In general safe but like any others big cities can be thieves, pick pocket, drunks around touristic areas. Metro late at night in certains areas can be scary Mostly be aware of drunk and drugged people cause you never know how they react
