In Nice, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like the Promenade des Anglais and public transport. Common scams include fake petitions and distraction tactics used by street vendors or performers.

Staying in well-lit areas at night and using official taxis or transport services can also enhance safety.
