How safe is Bergamo?

I think Bergamo is quite safe, crime rates are low. Of course you should avoid some specific streets where usually there are people who use drugs or are drunk. If you know where to go, you can walk alone without any worries.

Bergamo is a safe city especially the “center”. I live in a small town near by but i went to uni in Bergamo and it’s an amazing city. Like everywhere in the world we have to be careful but come to Bergamo, it’s an amazing city! And don’t forget Bergamo Alta

Near Bergamo central station there are many people doing drugs and alcohol. I defintly recommend avoiding this place if you can (especially at night). Other places then there, like City Alta are overall pretty safe.

Bergamo is safe around the most common places, while in specific part of the city (train station in particular) I would recommend to walk with someone and not alone, mostly in the evening/night. I’ve lived in Bergamo since I was born and I’ve only experienced catcalling but in general it’s safe, although there are some stories about the places I’ve already mentioned.

it's pretty safe but the areas of the train and main bus station are full of homeless people who are for the majority pretty aggressive ( sadly it's not their fault but just don't go there alone just in case )

Bergamo it's a very safe city. People are very nice, I've always come back home alone without any danger. Around the city there are many ways to come home safely and if something happen people are willing to help

I felt safe in the city, we did rent a car for most of the trip and roadtriped through the mountains and slept in the car We rented the sleeping bag from decathlon and were zero cold despite being december. I really loved the winter markets we went but they were small compared to others in europe :)

Beautiful city! Probably one of my favorite towns in Italy. I felt it was mostly safe during the day (I would say at night near the station and in some alleys it’s kind of the same everywhere in Italy, I would avoid them), especially during christmas time the atmosphere was so cozy and peaceful. The little Christmas markets were perfect, not overfilled like the ones in big cities, and the local food was amazing! I had polenta with some other dishes, and seriously I can’t get enough of Veneto cuisines😭🤍 Would definitely recommend! During the wintertime espwcial Christmas if you’re looking for a not too overcrowded, overpriced place with very comforting atmosphere and sweet people.
