Paris is a lovely city. Not exactly only in the tourist spots! On my first visit, I didn’t realise Paris as it is, I was in a group and they were very worried about tourist spots. And then I didn’t find the then famous “city of love”. Now in my second time, I discovered the city of love, and I’m not talking about being with someone! Yes, in being with you and finding love in the delicacy of architecture, in the decoration of cute bistros or listening to musicians performing in the late afternoon of the Jardin des Tuileries or sitting down to eat a snack at Jardin du Luxembourg Paris brings art both in its museums but also to be contemplated on the street for everyone 🤍

Stay safe on the roads and on public transport. Avoid tourist scams and you’ll be fine. The French that I have met are kind and friendly. The food depends on the shop you visit, really. So choose wisely :)) Lots of activities to do, especially for those who love arts.
Posted: October 1, 2025Paris has too much too offer so you will never ran out of things to do. I went in summer, the weather was amazing but I didn’t feel the crowds. There are a lot of places/parks you can visit for free. Paris is quite dirty in some places (the smell of urine is something else) so don’t expect a fairytale.. it can be as cheap as you make it - I ate a lot in bakeries as the pastries are too good to be true.. A lot of places are closed in August as people go on holidays so be warned
Posted: September 8, 2025Experienced: July, 2024Paris can be a very beautiful place to visit if you know where to go. I recommend to do some research in advance and it will be fine. There’re a lot of great restaurants especially Asian and African food is great. And their pastries 🥐 are one of the best things ever. My family chose to go to Disneyland Paris and it was beautiful especially for the younger ones. I recommend it. Be careful at tourist areas. I don’t recommend buying anything from the people on the street. Most of them are trying to scam you and be prepared to spend a few bucks.

Paris is generally safe, especially in central and residential areas. I live here, walk around every day, and feel comfortable using public transport, even in the evening. Like any major city, some busy spots require a bit more attention (pickpockets in tourist areas, crowded metros), but nothing unusual if you’re used to big cities. I know the safer districts, the calm streets, and how to move around without issues. I keep my things secure, stay aware of my surroundings, and I’ve never had a serious problem. Paris can be very easy and enjoyable when you know how to navigate it.
Posted: December 9, 2025Paris is a very big city, with the problems that naturally come with it. You can get home alone at night and take public transportation, though the risk is never quite zero. Overall it is still very safe, and the biggest threat you might encounter might be small scams and pickpockets

You should always be aware of men, especially in the subway—just like in most capitals. But you definitely feel safer in some arrondissements. For accommodation, prefer the 5th, 4th, 6th, 7th, or 3rd. Try to avoid Châtelet, Clichy, and the 18th in general.
Posted: November 30, 2025I think that Paris is safe but some neighbourhood are less than others. For example at night in the 18th,19th and 20th neighbourhoods it is better to be a little careful. I would recommend to take a taxi to go home late.
Posted: November 21, 2025The safety in Paris really depends on the neighbourhood you go, the Uber driver a really safe, be careful at « Porte de Clignancourt » its the only place where I had stressful situations. The metro is okay but close early (depends on the day) so check it before!

I am Mexican. I have been living more than half of my life in Europe between Paris, Geneva, London and Milano, but mostly Paris. I love Madrid and Milan so much and traveling inside Europe. I love skiing during winter season and going to the beach in summer. Also, I would love this year to travel a little bit more around France and go to nice villages that I haven’t been. I really need to practice my French because mostly I speak English or Spanish. My daily morning routine is going to the gym & a cappuccino. Also, I would love to start playing padel and there are many nice courts here in Paris. I love Art on history and I Love F1.

A vegan woman from Turkey, living in Paris for almost four years. I love travelling, a bit introverted in large groups, but I always try my best 🪿 Cooking is my love language, also really love doing & trying any kind of sports. But hiking and trekking will always be very special to me, as I easily find myself when I’m in nature.
