Is Nantes Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Nantes is generally quite safe for solo female travelers. The locals are friendly and the city has low crime rates, particularly in relation to violent or serious crime. However, like any large city, there can be occasional petty crimes like pick pocketing, especially in crowded, touristy areas or late at night. It's always important to be street smart - keep your belongings close, be aware of your surroundings, and avoid isolated areas at night.

Safety is not what Nantes gives as I heard but I never felt in danger. In the other hand Nate’s is very popular for the art and cultural event. Nantes had also an airport that makes your travel life easier.

I love nantes! It's great for 2-3 days visit. The natural history museum is a must do, as well as walking the "green line" which takes you all around the city. A lot of the activities are pretty cheap or free (museums or walking around). You can visit Trentemoult within Nantes, beautiful buildings and quiet atmosphere. Nantes is not the cheapest, but you can definitely find good deals. I can't speak on accomodation as I was staying with a friend.

Nantes is like any Other Big cities, pretty safe during the day, except sometimes around the station or in some small areas in the centre By night you should be careful around clubs, with uber/taxi drivers (check if it’s the car you were waiting for)

Nantes is a beautiful city where you can walk easily by day and night but make sure to stay in safe zone because some districts aren’t very safe by night. In Commerce, the city’s center, my advice is to stay in the Main Steet near to the tramway where there is always many people

Not very safe at night, especially for young women. But when the sun is out, everything goes fine. The city's reputation is quite bad because in 2020 a few bad events happened. It's really better now but I still don't go out alone at night.

Nantes isn’t a very safe place for a women Gwen you’re out on your own, especially at night. But when you’re with someone or on public transport, you feel a bit safer. In the evening, it’s best to be with someone and stay alert, especially at the hangar a banane. But it’s a Lovely city by day, while plenty to see and discover

About me

Hi ! I'm Elynn :) I'm a french math and computer science student, whose favourite lobby is to create stuff : jewelry, paintings, crochet stuffs, etc. I've been making a list of the best things on earth, and the top 3 are for now the clouds, the evening lights on the buildings of my city (Nantes) and dragonflies. Let me know your list 🙌 Traveling is for me a way to remember that studies are not what builds a person, even if what you're learning is your passion. I believe who you become depends on who you meet, and the more culture you've been exposed to, the more open-minded you become. All joined together makes me want to explore the world ✨
