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.
Posted: February 6, 2025Bergamo is a enough safe city. There are occasional episodes of public robberies and a few episodes of assaults and murders on the streets, but generally it is a quiet city of the province. Obviously the male mentality could make you feel uncomfortable, especially in the evening, for example a catcalling situations.

Bergamo is a wonderful city, but like in every city there are some areas that are not so nice to be around. The train/bus station, unfortunately, is full of men from foreign countries, different ages that may start to annoy because drunk.

Bergamo is a relatevely small town and I think overall is pretty safe. There are some parts of the city I would not recommend after dark but I think I can give it a solid 3/5 in safety overall.
Posted: December 31, 2024It is safe, even during the night if you stay in the city Centre or in the upper part of the city. I would say that it is not safe if you are near the bus and train station during the day but mostly during the night. In general it is a safe city if you stay far from the station. The buses are generally safe but often overcrowded.
Posted: December 25, 2024Bergamo is a small town where you can find different activities to do, from funny to more cultural ones. I personally like it because I find it safe for girls (you need to choose where you’re going wisely always) but I consider Bergamo a safe place to stay. People are welcoming and friendly and everybody speaks or even try to speak english. If you know some italian words, we will be impressed and very glad to hear that. I suggest you to visit Città Alta bc it has a beautiful view that will leave you speechless, no joke. Hope this helps!

Bergamo is absolutely safer than Milan, it is a quiet city with few people around usually. The worst locations are the stations, you have to be careful when you take a train or a bus when it’s late but if you are with someone reliable it should be okay.

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.
Posted: April 17, 2025I went there in fall on a group trip and we went to bergamo Alta I think it is called, but I was the most beautiful place I have ever been 🩷 the locals are very sweet and the food is absolutely amazing 🤩

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 ✍️✍️✍️
