Full of people, there’s a half-hour line even to go to the bathroom. The churches are beautiful, especially the Saint Chapelle or San Denis. The metro is very easy to use. However, it’s extremely expensive— a bottle of water costs 6€.

I had a great time with my friends! Paris is a living cliché and I love romcoms so being there I felt like the maincharacter. Although for my next trip I would like to travel places where there is more of the real taste of the country. Because paris is very tourist friendly when it comes to culture.

I was there for an Erasmus. If you are under 26 please take advantage of their free museums, they have sooo many. Nothing occured to me, still due to how populated Paris is, I would recommend being cautious, still no exaggeration is needed.

I’ve been to Paris six times, and it has always felt like such a special city to me. It’s a place I truly connect with in a different way every time I visit. I’m going again this November and I’m really excited for it

Women’s safety index
Based on 382 reports
Crime index
Based on 382 reports
Paris is a generally safe major city. The most realistic risks are petty theft and opportunistic crime, not violent danger. Basic awareness (especially in crowded places) is usually enough to stay safe. Tourist zones (Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Champs-Élysées): heavily policed but targeted by pickpockets. Central and western neighborhoods: generally calm and residential. North and northeast Paris (some parts of 18th, 19th, 20th): more mixed, with both quiet and more sensitive pockets.
Posted: July 3, 2026As a local, Paris seems to be safe to me, people do not really care about the way dress for instance. i haven t had any problem in 2 years, however pay attention to pickpockets in the métro (line 1 in particular) and in touristic places.

Paris is generally safe, even for solo women, but stay alert at night. Avoid isolated streets and be extra careful around Gare du Nord, Gare de l'Est, and crowded tourist areas because of pickpockets.
Posted: July 1, 2026Their is a lot of people in Paris. So take care of your belongings and be aware of pickpockets. But no real risk during the day. During the night, I advice you to go home with someone or to stay in frequented places. With this advice, as a single woman I never felt usafe.

About me
Hi everyone ! :) I’m a french girl who study Psychology. This year, I do a volunteer civic service in an social association. My mission is to aware young people like me about mental health and create safe places to talk about it ! I love it really much !! :) Like that, I have a lot of free time and I want to spend it by doing things for myself. So I decided to do my first solo trip in Amsterdam, and I would be happy to meet some girlies of this city ! :) I love to dream and think about things, and create links with people. I like to try to understand others point of view to connect. This year, I tried new things like dancing hip-hop and playing guitar 😎 I love to discover people’s passions and little things about them, and this is also why I’m interested by the principle of this application. Finally, I hope we could meet, share our lives and maybe become friends ! :) 🫶
