Solo travel
I spend 7 weeks in Montpellier for a language course and it was so much fun! The city is beautiful and in my experience pretty safe (except for cat calling and some pickpockets). There are great daytrips possible to Marseille or Sête, which also are very pretty and popular. Or you can visit the Museums, beach or other attractions in Montpellier itself. As an 18 year old I partied a lot in the Clubs Panama (esp. the Latina floor/2nd floor) and Le Club. It’s definitely not cheap, but when has...

Solo travel
I stayed with local woman who hosted me in her beautiful apartment for one night. It was amazing experience. First we had a coffee and little chat in one of the cute coffee places and then we went to her place to have a dinner and a bit of wine. After that she gave me her keys so I could come back whenever I wanted. I connected with one more french girl, so I went for a drink with her. I came back slightly after 22 and next day I left early to be able to discover the city. I went to Musée Fabre...

usually pretty safe, a few places aren't as safe but i'd say it's mostly people wanting to sell you drugs or cheaper cigarettes who can be a bit intimidating but they would usually leave you alone if you politely decline.
Posted: May 28, 2026Montpellier is a really cool and warm city from southern France, with a lot of safe bars and pubs, but like everywhere there are some place to avoid when you are alone, especially as woman unfortunately.
Posted: April 27, 2026Montpellier is a very beautiful city, I lived there for 6 years, it's really a pleasant city with lots of beautiful things to visit. During the day it's fine, no problem, but at night there are some places where you need to be careful and maybe not be alone.
Posted: February 7, 2026Montpellier is a safe city, especially if you stay in the city center. Don’t go in the Northern Neighbourghoods, La Mosson is the worst one, or in Croix d’Argent in the South which is not really safe. However, don’t go in the parks, even in the center, when the sun has set.

About me
Hello, my name is Anna. I am of Greco-French nationality. I grew up in Greece but I have lived in Montpellier since August 2023. I am a student in contemporary dance, jazz, classical and I am interested in the studies of all styles of dance. I'm trying to travel as much as possible right now. In my travels I always try to meet people and discover their cultures. My main interests revolve around art. Dance, music (I like to sing), literature, drawing, cinema, theater. I'm also quite athletic. Then I would also say that I am a curious person in general so it is always a pleasure to learn from my meeting.
