Solo travel

I visited Strasbourg around the Christmas time- which is, if you are familiar, the fullest and most beautiful version of the city. It was really crowded, but the city itself is so beautiful and there were too much to see so it didn’t cause any problems. The Christmas market was awesome, everything tasted so good! Overall the spirit and vibe of Strasbourg created a magical environment. I was there with 3 of my friends but I believe a solo trip should also be as good. Have fun!☺️

Strasbourg was a pleasant city to visit. I had to go to the currency exchange and was traveling with a significant amount of cash. I wasn't interrupted or bothered by anybody, and although I used my regular precautionary measures I felt safe. Food was great, it was off season but still quite a busy downtown/historical places. Good mix of crowds, delicious brunch at Madame Julia's.

Solo travel

Strasbourg is a real dream. I loved walking around this city - it's just breathtaking, wherever you go. I really liked this little patisserie called L'Atelier.

All is about where you live, you'll feel safer in different zones like near to the Univeristy, but if you live close to the train station (as always) it might be a dangerous place to walk through alone in the dark/at night. Even in the city center you'd always have to be carefull.

Strasbourg is a safe place to stay. I have never been about worried about my safety here. I often walk to get back home late at night and i've never had any safety issue. I've been approach when i was chilling alone in a parks, or in stores, but if you tell them you're not interested and go away or just ignore them they will leave you alone.
