I have only been living in Nice for 2 years, but as a student here I often go out at night whether on weekdays or weekends, I‘ve always been taking public transports or walked around the city by myself and never had any problems.

I think Nice is a city safe in general but like in every city there are some places less safe than others But in my opinion if you don't go to those places, you can feel safe as a woman, the atmosphere is kinda cool

Nice is a partially safe city. Some neighborhoods are more to be feared than others, and I don't recommend going home alone at night. I often take ubers to get home to avoid altercations with drunk or suspicious men. The city is lit up at night, but not in every district.

It’s a nice city where you can walk and enjoy it freely. As every city, don’t go to bad neighborhoods but they are not close to the touristic area so you will be fine as long as you are acting normal 😉

I'm absolutely in love with the city of Nice and the whole region 🥰 I visited it twice, once during my first ever solo travel and it was amazing experience. I've always felt very safe, even at night and the people were so kind. I'm sure I'll be coming back 😊
