Is Bergamo Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Bergamo

Overall the city is safe but like every other cities in the world you have to be careful what's going on around you!

During the day, the city is safe, you can walk peacefully, you have to pay attention to pickpockets, I have never had such experiences but I was told there are several. At night, on the other hand, the city is not very safe, it is better for women not to walk around alone, especially in the centre and in the station area. As a black woman, I have also been whistled at and catcalled numerous times even in the suburbs. The population is pretty old and often closed-minded.

Couple travel

As someone with an American accent, I was not very well liked here, as to be expected in small town Italy. My partner and I got an excessive amount of stares and comments everywhere we went, mostly for the way we dressed or our body hair, etc. It is more of a place for an Italian tourist, not really an American or non-Italian for that matter.
