Paris was a very nice trip with my girlfriend. As a queer couple we were a bit worried at first but it was soo nice! Paris is a big city with many things to explore and see. Also I loved that you get free entrance at many places if you are under the age of 36 and an eu member.
Posted: December 30, 2024Paris was such a nice trip! I went there with my girlfriend and felt very safe. Aswell as a queer cupple I was a bit worried about being in Paris but the city is very big with lots of different people and very open to the queer community. We did a lot of things. The food was great. I liked the train system and overall feeling of the beautiful city. As well it’s really nice that you get free entrance at so many places if you are from the eu and under 36
Posted: December 28, 2024Beautiful experience, Paris was way safer than I expected , felt very comfortable and the atmosphere was very pleasant, we stayed for 3 days at the Hotel Gavarni, close the Eiffel Tower. Very beautiful interior design , beautiful aesthetic, clean and staff very respectful and welcoming. I loved Paris .
Posted: December 27, 2024Besides an incident that happened right when i was going to the airport after my trip, it was relatively safe. My budget was very little, but i managed to visit some places like museums and parks. I recommend Ha Noi 1988, the food is very good

Travelling solo in Paris was great. It is common for the locals to stay at cafe for themselves, and therefore I don’t stand out. I was invited by staff etc. I did not feel unsafe but I know Paris can be dangerous and I know of stories so I was careful anyways. In the metro one should always be away of pick pocketing
Posted: December 25, 2024Experienced: September, 2022It was an awesome trip, that i really enjoyed. I felt safe the whole time. We decided to always use the u-train, cause it was so much easier, than to travel with the bus. The food was great, the attractions were beautiful. We went during school holidays, so it was pretty crowded everywhere, but i assume this wouldn't be the case if you would be there out of the season.

Such a wonderful city with so many places to explore - especially enjoyed the galleries! When choosing an accommodation, be sure to check the local neighbourhood you are staying in. I stayed a bit further out near Stalingrad station and there were a lot of men hanging around on street corners at night.
Posted: November 28, 2024Experienced: August, 2023I 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.
Posted: November 19, 2024Experienced: November, 2024First 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
Posted: November 11, 2024Paris 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.

Nothing ever happened to me in Paris. I have always lived here but I heard some of my friends being stole their phone on the subway. You may also encounter some stranger who are gonna talk to you, whether it’s kind or not, don’t try to fight directly, find help with ppl or shops around you.
Posted: January 14, 2025Paris is safe, some area are a little less sure than other but i have been living here for 10 years and nothing ever happened to me. Where i live it is very calm and peace (5eme/13eme) . Be careful with your purse and backpack though!
