Summary
Today's trip report is about the adventures of a solo woman in Marseille. This woman is called Eva Jorgensen and she has some great recommendations for anyone visiting Marseille.She puts to rest the idea that a solo woman in Marseille would run into many problems because the city is "dangerous". It's not more dangerous than any other large city! This is what Eva had to say about this:
As a solo woman traveler, going to any large city, I would just kind of be aware of those areas I want to stick to and which areas I want to be more careful around or maybe not go to. And, um, and I, And so I did that, I was, it was perfectly fine, I felt perfectly safe the entire time.
If you don't visit the "projects" you'll be fine. BTW that's also true in Chicago! Don't go to the 15e arrondissement in Marseille. You're in luck there are no tourist attraction there.
