Is Nice safe for women?

I’ve been living in Nice since September 2023, and i find it a very safe city. I don’t worry about walking home at night, i’ve never had bad experiences here, but still if you’re solo traveling you should always stay vigilant.

Pretty safe, avoid shady places.. like any touristic city. Overall if you walk by the sea no worries apart from that maybe here and there maybe to spot weird people but no Nice is very safe and nice place to live or just visit.

Nice is generally safe. Especially if you stay in tourists areas during the day, it is extremely safe, you will not get unwanted attention, just watch out for your personal belongings especially if you go to the beach. At night, be slightly more cautious, verbal harassment possible for women. But generally good

You have to have the eyes around your head, like everywhere. I didn’t experienced anything bad, but I guess that in the season there is that much of people, that you can be robbed. The public space is really safe, but sometimes it’s possible to see a weird people.

I felt very safe even walking at night. I was based in Cannes, but did day trips to Nice and Monaco. I would just be careful on the trains as they can get full very quickly and this is a good target for pickpockets. Other than that, I always felt very nice and there’s a strong tourist infrastructure

Solo travel

Nice is a pleasant, colorful city, typical of Mediterranean towns. There are many specialties to try, such as socca and pissaladière. My favorite places in Nice that you should also try out: admire the view of the castle hill, going for a walk at the Promenade des Anglais, go to the Cours Saleya flower market and stroll around the old town. I particularly liked the MAMAC, if you like contemporary art. 🌴🌊 As far as security is concerned, I felt safe at all times, but there are some areas where this is apparently not the case. I haven't had any experience of this, but just in case, ask around.
