Safe is allways a tricky word.
I know tones of friends (including me) who would tell you it's safe. Just be careful of your valuables in Paris because it might get stolen but except that, I don't think you risk anything ! And if you are scared of anything, go with friends !
Thanks for your advice.
Thank you. I will travel alone, but I'll be careful.
Be careful in the metro the in the coffee with your bag and pickpockets, but apart of that, you'll be good. The tower is more than safe (and prolly crowded with policemen those days) but windy so cover yourself !
Thanks for your advice.
Yes you'll be good ! Just about the metro : One more advice if i can :) Don't take the night buses ! There is much more fight and bad mood inside than the subway. The subway go faster so you can leave the train more quickly if someone is dangerous or just afraid you.. Try to choose a wagon with womens inside or people at least, no empty wagon ! If you are in the first wagon you will be more close to driver so he can see you on his camera and be carreful about the situation too ! Be carreful but don't worry it's the first advice, feel confortable and free you will look stronger ;) I will travel alone to usa soon so i understand you, have a good trip :D
what are pickpockets?
Hey,
What time are you talking about?? Streets are swarming with people until 1-2 am anyway. I agree with others: pickpockets is higher risk in my opinion (very era in touristy area and metro/RER anytime of day and night). Depending on where you stay also, but I go out at night in Paris without 2nd thoughts.
I'm talking about 8 to 10 pm more or less :)
It's safe on the evening, maybe not in the night whith all drunk people
Thank you :)
Yes Karina dont't worry Paris is a safe city! If you want some company don't hesitate to tell me when you're here. Have a nice stay.
Thank you :)
Well... From the moment you don't let anyone give or sell you anything in the street, it is all safe. Just take care of your belongings and do not trust people who come to help you without having been asked to (more specifically because you are a cute girl).
I come quite often to help people and leave after. of curse, you should be carefull, but you d'ont have to be affraid of everyone^^
It's not really a matter of being afraid of everyone, it's a matter of not trusting anyone without thinking about it first. I do help people myself in Paris when I see they're in some kind of difficulty. There may be 99% trustful people and only 1% malevolent ones in Paris ; but tourist places such as the Eiffel Tower gather all types of people, honest and dishonest. I think it may not be necessary to be scared of anyone who comes to help, and I really think Paris is a safe place to be. But it's best to always consider that there is a 1% possibility that someone who comes to a girl alone may have some purpose in the back of his/her mind.
Thank you Pierre, my travel was perfect, and I hope come back again :)
Hey, I'm living near the eiffel tower, if you want I can show you the neighbourood after work on Monday. In any case, it's quite safe their on the evening take care
