Is Paris Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

I have been to Paris before with my friend but last month I went alone but I felt really safe. I did not experience any danger, I love Paris very much, the art feeling and atmosphere are very fascinating! Although people usually write things like it is unsafe about Paris, I do not agree with that, I have not had any problems in the two times I have been there

Solo travel

I went to Paris in the becinning of April and it was a really great City Trip. I can Highlights recommend for a solo Trip as there are so many people that you can meet and attractions to See. Also you can spent a week here as there is so much to see

Family travel

My and my mum visited Paris in 2023. One of the most beautiful thing i remember doing was listening to live music at night with the Eiffel tower as the view. Free and so so beautiful. We visited the “tourist” attraction and we were very happy. Also being under 25 a lot of things were free. Overall it was pretty good. I think it requires a lot of organisations but it’s definitely worth it.

I’ve lived on Paris for 3 years now and I feel safe as long as I don’t go near Chatelet or Gare du Nord and Montmartre surroundings. If you are a foodie I definitely recommend trying Cyril Lignac Brownie and hot chocolate ! I didn’t like Cedric Grolet. For delicious Boeuf Bourguignon, I ve tasted the one of Le Compas which was delicious for 23€ ! Although nothing compares to having apéro on the quais de seine between April and September ! That’s French experience, you favorite drink+ ham or saucisson + cheese from the market and you’r good to go for a delightful sunset. You might as well engage chat with happy French people maybe by asking them to open your beer hahah. Enjoy your trip !

I loved Paris a lot! You need one week at least for here. There are many places to visit. I liked Paris Brest. İt's so delicious! Everyone should try it! I couldn't stop to look at Eiffel tower 🙈 it was so lovely... I wish I will come there with my soulmate in the future... I can't say I felt I'm safe but it was okay. But metro was so dirty.. I did not like that. There was a big horrible traffic also ... If you want to visit everywhere by walk, you will lose too much weight 😂😂 I'm thinking I will visit there at least one more time in my life! Love you Paris! Missed you

For the most part I felt safe. I stayed near gare du nord, which is a more restless part of the city, situated between two train stations. I don't recommend traveling late at night there especially at the train/ metro station. Paris had a lot of beautiful parks and a lot of free attractions and museums for under 26 year olds from the EU.

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. ❤️💄

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.

Couple travel

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.

Paris is huge ! It réal my depends on the location. Avoid the north around Gare du Nord and around each train station in general and it should be okay !in the middle of paris and around touristics locations you should only be aware of pikpoket even after dark.

I'm not always feeling safe, but the sorority in Paris can really help, so ask for help if you need it! People, and particularly women, will help you! I'm not often worried in Paris, it depends of the areas but it's globally safe.
