Is Italy safe for women?
Prato
Overall situation is not bad, just make sure to avoid certain quarter such as Porta al serraglio station, especially at night. Sometimes you can be approached by some men in a non comfortable way and that can be annoying.

Rome
walking around Rome at night is completely safe, but it depends from the zone. All of the areas are full of character and very lively, even after the sun goes down. Prati is the most safest area, but you have always to be prudent

Mantua
I would say that there is almost nothing to worry about here in Mantova. I suggest to stay away from the station by night. During winter the city will be pretty empty. “Dangerous” places are not close to the city center.

Where I am, it is quite a peaceful area. I always try to return before nightfall, but in my experience, at least it is very peaceful. There are obviously dangers like being at the station in the surroundings at night, it's a bit dangerous but aside from this, let's say that I feel quite safe.

Ancona is unlucky not very safe, especially if you're a girl. During the day the atmosphere is quite safe but during the night it is better not to go around alone. You can some time meet some crazy people around (we have many of them) you just have to ignore them and in most cases they will leave you alone.

Cannigione
Very safe small town by the beach... The area can be touristy in July and August. The tourist season is from April(Easter) through October. There's a bike path from the main town all along the sea, and a marina where you can take boat trips to the Maddalena archipelago.

Treviglio is a small city. We do have trains to ride Milano in 20’-30’ and i think and i felt that it’s a very safe city. You can walk alone in the dark and you don’t need to get worried about nothing.

Bologna
it depende of the quartiere, im staying in bolognina, near the station and the piazza xx settembre and its not very safe at night for women. if you stay away from this particular places that are known to be dangerous, it's not that scary

Milan is currently not very safe. I recommend paying attention to the sniffers even during the day and keep the bags in front. Always have the emergency number at hand. Avoid going out alone in the evening in little frequented areas
Posted: October 25, 2024Bologna
Bologna during the day is a safe city where you can talk to anyone for support if needed, or simply to share a few words. In the late night, like in any major city, it's advisable not to walk alone. However, the city center is lively and bustling with activity, where you'll meet pleasant people, as well as some unusual characters to avoid.
