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 and enjoyed walking around the old part of the city. I found it fascinating. This city definitely has a charm. I stayed there just 2 days but I felt in love with the place, thanks to my host as well. She gave me many tips and I was happy to listen to her stories.

Solo travel

Montpellier is one of my favourite cities in France :) Travelling solo there was a lot of fun. I really appreciated that the city is close to the sea & that the people are really relaxed & open-minded.

Montpellier 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.

There most are theft in the city. You have to pay attention to your stuff. But people would be kind to you if you get lost, you don't have to be affraid to talk to someone. Whoever, you may prefer to talk with young people. They are ofter more open minded.

Montpellier is generally safe for tourists, but like any major city, it comes with a few caveats. If you’re planning to explore the city, a bit of street smarts and awareness will go a long way.

I personnally did not feel unsafe while travelling in Montpellier. People are really kind and welcoming, nothing and no one bothered me during my stay. This city is really fantastic culturally and there’s a lot of great minorities-friendly places :)

Montpellier is generally very safe. There is some drug related criminality in specific areas/neighborhoods. But generally it's a safe city full of university students (so even at night you see people outside)...
