Nice, Solo travel
I feel safe walking around the city at night to my airbnb place. It’s always better to be attentive but nothing happened to me luckily and street is kinda empty. People are super nice, helpful, and willing to speak English! I had a good time there apart from the food poisoning from beef tartare😮💨

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.

Lyon
There always are people in the streets because Lyon is a living city so since I past my childhood there I found and find it safe. Some neighborhood are saffer than others, such as the center of Lyon but you can go there without stressing if you are alone.

If you’re smart you’ll be just fine. Just use your brain, common sense, and social cues. Keep your valuables hidden/securely on you, don’t interact with questionable people, be respectful of culture.

I feel quite safe in Paris because you are always surrounded by people. Creepy men exist of course but it doesn’t occur that you are stuck alone with one somewhere. ALWAYS watch out for your phone and bag!!!!

I've lived here for a couple of years, I find it quite safe, but as always, you can always find people fighting, shouting, agitated and angry. It's quite safe during the day. At night, I imagine there are places that aren't so safe.

Hej This is my first time using travelladies. Me and my friend Emily would love to travel while getting to know locals and other female travelers. We always try to create a mix of culture, nature, partying and relaxation while traveling and appreciate noodles with pesto as well as fancy new dishes we never heard of. We plan to stay in Copenhagen from 13-16 August. Afterwards we will work at à berry farm for one week. We are very much looking forward to getting to know you:)
