I visited Nice, France in September 2016. I stayed there on a short stopover the previous year and like it so much decided to properly visit again. I stayed in a hostel and felt very safe there. There is a beautiful beach there though it is pebbly there a some sandy beaches nearby in Monaco just a short train ride away. The water was lovely at the end of summercas it had warmed up a lot. There are loads of little cafes and shops to visit. Cool restaurants and night life too. I'd recommend the farmers market on the weekend to check out the great array of foods. The local dish Socca is delicious and gluten free for any fellow coeliac nomads.
Posted: January 7, 2024Experienced: August, 2016Nice is very social and such a fun and vibrant city! I stayed at a hostel that hosted a bar crawl where I met loads of fun and nice people. It was well arranged and the hosts were also very nice. In terms of safety, I must say that I did not feel SUPER safe, but that is mostly due to my own fear. Two very sweet guys from the pub crawl followed me home to my hostel and made sure that I got in safely. They then left and walked home to themselves. That made me feel very safe! Also there are police everywhere which also makes you feel looked out for. In terms of budget, the city is very expensive, so it is not very budget friendly. But I still think it is worth a visit.

Every year I travel to Nice because, in my opinion, it's one of the most beautiful places. Near the center, there is a waterfall and next to it, a view of the entire French Riviera. France, as you know, requires financial preparation, but the food is DELICIOUS! During the day, there is a market where you can buy a lot of fruits, pastries; I recommend, for example, buying used jewelry; you can find pearls. And in the evening, in the same place, delightful restaurants set up their gardens.
Posted: December 10, 2023My first solo trip was to Nice. I took day trips by train to visit Cannes and Monaco. I did not go out alone at night. I stayed in a dormitory for girls only and immediately became friends with others and went out to bars, which seemed safe in a group. Lots of fun, easy transport, many places to see and amazing summer weather.
Posted: July 31, 2023I went to Nice for my first solo trip in my life. I stayed at the Ozz hostel and felt very safe and comfortable in the city. Public transportation is great, and the city itself is also very pedestrian-friendly. I absolutely loved it. The only time I felt a bit unsafe was when I was walking through empty streets at night.
Posted: June 1, 2023Nice was beautiful but also quite touristy. It was sunny and warm. I noticed some street harassment of femme women and there were not many obviously LGBTQIA inclusive spaces. That said, the people were friendly towards me and my partner (a woman).
Posted: May 6, 2023Make sure you visit the market! Lots of amazing street vendors. Go up (or catch the mini tourist train) to see the view of the entire city. The best gelato is Azzurro! At Sainte-Reparate - you must visit the Sainte-Reparate Cathedral (right next door). Avoid eating at 'Jean Médecin', as it's all average tourist traps. But around the market in the old city, there are amazing restaurants. I would recommend booking a mini food tour or bar crawl. It's a really great way to meet people. St-Paul-De-Vence (if you have a car, it's about 30 minutes from Nice! Amazing. Eze - I recommend taking the bus to the top. The view is beautiful!
