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
Posted: May 7, 2025There are weird people around and especially in the train and bus station at night is full of homelesses and drunk people. The good side is that lately they increased police level but obviously is better to stay far from there and prefer the city center or città Alta at night

Bergamo is a safe city in general especially in the morning you won’t face any problems but you have to be careful at night especially real careful near the station it is not safe at all during the night and a bit creepy in the morning! Città Alta and other parts in the middle are ok.

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.

Hi there 😻 This august I'll travel around Europe w friends thanks to the interrail opportunity 🙏, and I'm looking forward to meeting new people in every city we'll visit. I'm graduating high school in Italy, and I'll study arts ( let's hope) at Venice's Academy. I'm very interested in cultural activities such as museums or visiting monuments of all kinds, but also in living the whole travelling experience to the fullest, taking every possibility to try and learn something new. If you'd like to visit my city Bergamo I got tips ✍️✍️✍️

Hi! I’m a nurse living in Bergamo who likes to travel alone during my (not enough) rest days from work. I really enjoy knowing new cultures and meeting new people!
