Is Nice safe for solo female travelers?

Nice is generally considered safe for solo female travelers. Like most popular tourist destinations, it has its share of petty crime such as pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas, but violent crime is rare. As a solo traveler, maintaining a high degree of awareness and using common sense – particularly at night and when visiting quieter areas – will be your best tools for remaining safe. Staying in well-lit, populated areas and securing personal belongings are recommended. Overall, Nice places a high value on safety and security, especially within its many traveler sites and hospitality venues.

Solo travel

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 😊

I would say that I feel pretty safe here. But I live in a good part of town. There are some dangerous parts like Las Planas and Les Moulins. I wouldn’t advise going there even during the day. I was warned about the pickpockets, but I haven’t encountered anything like that. I would still advise to keep you possessions close and be vigilante on the train stations

As a woman in Nice, I feel safe walking alone, whether by the sea or in the city. The lively atmosphere, people around, and calm vibe make me comfortable and give me a sense of security in my daily life.

I find that it's a pretty safe city, except maybe at night when there can be fights or men who whistle at us, especially when alone, but I've never experienced anything more than that. During the day, no problems at all.
