Solo travel

Traveling solo through Strasbourg on a low budget was an amazing experience! I felt super safe, even at night, which made exploring the city so much more enjoyable. The Strasbourg Cathedral is an absolute must-see—the details are incredible! Unfortunately, I didn’t make it up to the viewing platform, but even from the ground, it’s stunning. The city is full of cute little streets that are perfect for wandering, with charming cafés and half-timbered houses everywhere. Definitely a great destination for solo travelers!

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.

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.

Strasbourg is a safe city, I'm living here since 2007 and never experienced anything worse than my bike being stolen from my bike garage. I used to go alone in the city and public transport after dark and I've always been fine.

I think in Strasbourg it depends on the quarter. Some feel pretty safe, like Petite France or Robertsau. But, as all big city, some quarters are a bit dangerous for a woman alone. I prefer not to be alone in those. But transports are ok late at night.

About Me

Hi! I’m Lahari. I recently moved back to India from Singapore and wear many hats as a product designer, digital marketer, and creative thinker. Originally from Chennai. I’m a curious soul who thrives on learning, exploring, and connecting with people from different walks of life. Travel is my passion, and I believe every journey brings a new story to tell. I’m drawn to the simple joys of life—chasing sunsets, basking under the moonlight, and sharing meaningful conversations. I love to dance (urban kiz and bachata are my favorites!), cook for friends, make art, and write poetry. Creativity is at the heart of everything I do, whether it’s designing, writing, or whipping up a delicious meal. I’m also deeply spiritual and grounded in my values: kindness, inclusivity, and living in harmony with nature. I’m the kind of person who values authenticity and strives to make every connection meaningful.
