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.

About Me

* British-Nigerian based in the French riviera (Nice/Cannes) but semi-nomadic so always on the move. * Really into different cultures, social justice and languages (I speak 7 at intermediate or advanced) * Travelled to over 60 countries * Vegan, queer-friendly, and very politically left I'm here to meet amazing ladies from all over the world. These have been some of my fave moments when travelling. Would love to check out your fave park 🏞️ , club 💃🏿, or beach 🏖️ together. If you catch me in the French riviera, I'm more than happy to show you my favourite spots and maybe host you (I'm usually there in March, April, October, November, and December). I go to a lot of concerts and festivals around Europe so if you're looking for a festival bud (alt-rock, pop, afrobeats, latin), hit me up! Next fests are Outbreak London, Hurricane Germany, and FIB Spain.
