There is a bunch of freaks but like two man especially, however most of the time it is pretty safe and I’m not verbally assaulted that often maybe like once a week. If you get on the bus you will be safer in the front rather than in the back. And you can always go to people if you are being followed or something, they will help.

I spent a few days in Nancy, but unfortunately, my experience was not the best. The city does have some architectural charm and a few picturesque squares, but I wouldn’t recommend it for a woman traveling alone.

I think Nancy is quite a save city but as always you should be careful because something can always happen. I walked often home alone in the dark and I never felt unsafe but i'm always taking the route next to the big street. I never experienced any problematic things but I know that some districts are less safe and quite unsafe. Otherwise be careful that nobody steals something from you in the bus. But in general it's really safe and I never worry on a night out

Overall very safe, the crime rates are lower compared to other cities in France. Many people use public transportation, even at night, and I felt safe riding a bus. It can be a bit scary to walk around at night in some areas, just like in every city.

I really feel safe in Nancy, i live in the city center. You could walk alone and feel great. There is some not fine comments but not too much. I recomend using bike and talking to people if its needed
