Family travel

Only issues I’ve encountered are with aggressive scammers and unlicensed vendors that get hostile when they hear “No.” Unfortunately, all of these incidents were with my child present. Safe otherwise.

Solo travel

I love Paris, a lot of rats sadly lol but overall I loved the attractions, the museums, the parks, the views and the architecture. I had a lot of options for activities. I met cool people. The locals were surprisingly nice. Some areas did feel sketchy but I was fine. The metro is a M A Z E. The more you use it the more you get used to it I feel like. I’ve been to bad, busy and confusing stations but I still didn’t run into any problems.

Group travel

Paris is a stunning city with incredible corner houses and beautiful, large urban spaces, especially the towers and Notre Dame de Paris, as well as the Opera Garnier. In Paris, I was particularly impressed by delicacies such as foie gras, Parisian pastries and desserts. I would like to come back here again.

Pretty safe during the day if you stay within the main city. Solo female travellers should avoid Saint-Denis (no, it‘s not a stereotype) and be cautious in the 10th and 20th arrondissement. At night, definitively watch out! Also, avoid placing your phone on tables in restaurants or using it openly in the metro - it‘s gonna get snatched out of your hands faster than you would believe.

In general safe but like any others big cities can be thieves, pick pocket, drunks around touristic areas. Metro late at night in certains areas can be scary Mostly be aware of drunk and drugged people cause you never know how they react

Overall, it's safe during the day, except in some more popular neighborhoods, a bit less so at night, but the advantage is that there's a strong nightlife in Paris, so there are lots of people in the streets and stores and restaurants open where you can seek help if needed. Personally, I have never had any safety issues in Paris, but you still need to be cautious.
