Couple travel

My overall experience in Lyon was very good. I stayed at an Airbnb with my boyfriend and we stayed there for 12 days. I would say 12 days is more than enough to experience the city but we wanted a very laid back and chill vacation as to why we stayed so long. I felt very safe but that could also be because I was with my boyfriend all of the time as I know there are plenty of areas in Lyon that my female friends have not felt so safe in.

I love Lyon! Probably one of my favourite places to travel in. I always felt safe, there’s so much to do, getting around is a breeze and the city is just STUNNING. Can’t recommend it enough and think it’s a great place to explore what French culture is all about

Felt recently safe, people were actually pretty nice. Food was great, we ate a bunch of food from the local weekend markets because we're broke. We did also eat at a fancier local place and the food was amazing. Lots of free historical places, museum was free for university students (we're grad students)

It’s ok safe, you’re safe at day light, you just really have to avoid some places, but otherwise you’ll be fine. The worst place for me it’s Place des terreaux at night, also a guy randomly screamed at my face in Confluence. And also, sometimes at bars, men are pretty direct. I don’t go out at night alone :/

Lyon is safe if you are with the right people and are a bit careful. Being in the right neighborhoods is important, just like everywhere else there are some crazy people but people will come to help you! During the day I think it's safe enough, there are always soldiers and police officers in the streets, I personally have never had any problems, even at night.

I live in the center of Lyon, my neighborhood is quite calm and safe, but I don't go out at night because I'm a bit worried as there are a lot of bars there. In addition, I live at the school where I work and there aren't many neighbors.
