Nancy can be a cute city, BUT if you don't get lucky you could meet a very bad man with bad intentions, I have my own experience with that. I would say don't be paranoid but stay careful, share your location, call a friend on the way back home. Just safety first. But you can't anticipate when a problem is gonna come so just be careful and enjoy the city.

I think Nancy is a safe place, but as a woman, I never really feel completely safe when walking alone… It’s the same everywhere I’ve been, so I guess it’s mostly anxiety, since I’ve never actually had any problems (apart from some annoying men in the street, but nothing serious lol 🙄.)

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.
