It's a fairly safe city, especially when you're with other people. You have to be careful about the bars you go to, but during the day it's really safe. I've never had any problems with public transport or the men on it, so I'd say it's fine.

Metz is a little city so I thing I feel more safe in it than a bigger city like Strasbourg, Lyon, Grenoble or Paris. The center of the city is a little bit more active but in general Metz is a calm city. You don't see a lot of people outside at night.

Metz is quite a safe town during the day, but don’t walk alone at night. Really take care of yourself and be careful. I’ve already been attacked by a stranger while I was walking home. I don’t think it’s a common thing here, but it’s proof that it does happen sometimes.

I always felt safe in Metz except one time after a free concert, a man was following me and my friend so we told the cops and two nice teenager come with us to our home to be sure he won’t follow us anymore, but it was once in a lifetime

Metz is a French city, not too small, not too big. There are a lot of tourists in this city, so no-one will look strange at you. I take offen the bus at night, never had problem. But it's still a city with men so there are possibilities to feel insecure.
