Ancona is a provincial coastal town of Italy, mainly inhabited by bourgeoise and middle class. It’s moderately safe, in general no pickpocketing or safety risks take place. As it’s in Italy, the culture is quite machista so girls get harassed verbally but usually not more than that.

For me and my friend It’s safe, never happened anything. But it’s still a Port city, so it has a lot of incoming of tourists and in some part also immigrants. Beside this, you can always see notice policemen officers walking or driving through the center of the city, so it’s really well guarded.

To be honest with Ancona is safe city just one neighborhood is not safe and unfortunately I am living there. I don't go out at night and I haven't encountered any problems in the afternoon. Only one street has a problem

Ancona is a wonderful city. I feel safe walking alone during the night, even at 3 a.m. People here mind their own business. There are always police around the city to ensure everything is okay.

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.
