Is Paris Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

I traveled to Paris for the first time as a solo traveler, and I could not have been happier with my experience! The locals were friendly & helpful, the food was spectacular, and the history & art in the city is unlike anywhere else in the world. My experience was further improved by being fairly proficient in French. This was a great way to connect with locals, ask for help when needed, and overall feel more immersed in the culture. See the Eiffel Tower, go to the Louvre, and order yourself a Croissant or Pain Au Chocolat. And don't forget to take the metro to anywhere you want to go in Paris! It's super affordable and easy to navigate with Google Maps.

Group travel

First of all, If you will go to see attractions take metro card. Each ticket costs 2.16€ . So If you make more than 10 rides, it worth to get 10 ticket package. We stayed only 2-3 days. We thought that we can do “walk travel”. But it is impossibly hard. Starting from Louvre museum, legs hurts. SO WEAR MUCH COMFORTABLE SHOES. We booked budget hotel far from center. Actually we didn’t know that it was so far. But If you use metro it’s ok. Near the Luxembourg park we found gelato cafe. Their ice-cream was so so good. If I’m not mistaken cafe called “amorino”. Have a nice trip ladies

Paris was beautiful. I felt safe but still feared a little to get my stuff stolen. One thing i want to warn about is the transportation ticket. It is paper based and you need it to enter and leave the metro stations. Do not keep it with you mobile because it causes some problem either the magnetic stuff of the ticket and it will stop working. It was the worst experience. We didn’t know why it stopped working in paris and we got to know later.

Group travel

We stayed for 3 nights with a very nice experience. At least call us like this but transportation is so complicated that sometimes you can hardly find your destination. So be careful. We did not have any problems with security but there may be people who have had problems but it is a fascinating poem especially the Louvre Museum everyone should visit I loved it there.

Solo travel

I went to Paris this summer while the Olympics were going on, so it felt safety all the time. It was my first time there and I was amazed with everything, I think accommodation is the most expensive part of the trip and difficult to get. But the rest you could choose how much you want to spend. That city has everything to do, I love all the museums, coffees, restaurants and streets.

Solo travel

Great experience as a solo traveller. Will recommend highly. Felt safe and welcome right from the airport! I don’t speak French but not a barrier. Taxi drivers are polite, I used Uber. Make sure to go downstairs to parking if you called an Uber not the taxi rank!

Solo travel

It was my first time in Europe. I felt very safe. I would be out all day and night sightseeing, exploring, meeting people and just having the time of my life. I could not recommend Paris enough to people.

Solo travel

I visited the city multiple times, it's nice but a little but too over hyped in my opinion and ofc it's expensive but didn't expect anything else from Paris. If you never visited Paris you should definitely do

Solo travel

I visited Paris by FlixBus from Germany. At the City I walked a lot. I felt safe all the time, even in the night. You can rent e-bikes if you want to drive home at night when the subway is closed. I stayed in a hostel, I recommend to book a flat in the Center next time to be more private and have less way back. I loved the food, there are a lot of bakery’s so you can enjoy a meal at the river. Negative: Paris is really expensive.

Solo travel

Paris is not a safe city for women traveling alone, especially near popular tourist spots like the Eiffel Tower. There is a lot of harassment from strange men, people offering you things and practically forcing you to buy, as well as thefts, etc. Regarding itineraries, besides the classic places like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, I highly recommend the Palace of Versailles.

It depends on the area. I advise you to avoid the north (Saint Denis). If you are in touristic areas the worst that can happen is being robbed by pickpockets. I've never been assaulted or robbed but since I know the place I don't know if it's very representative. Just know that in France justice is very low and not efficient so if something happens to you I might never have justice back. I used to go home very late alone after party and nothing ever happened to me. Buses are the safest way to move. They are some weird people but most of them are harmless.

I don't recommend using the metro because there are usually gangs there that rob travelers. I also do not recommend keeping your phone or money in a visible place. Beware of dark alleys and places where there are few people.
