i think as the other city it depend on the zone you will leave or go; bt of course as being a woman I have never, unfortunately, feel safe anywhere, I often have my red pepper spray. But in bologna sud I have never had problems. In the north yes it’s pretty unsafe walking alone in the dark
Posted: March 10, 2024I think it depends where you stay and also it’s a bit of luck. If i lived in bolognini or nord zone … I would not exit out alone; but in some places in the center and sud zone I fell me more sure.. but danger is everywhere in the world

I feel very safe. I walked all day but the rain hunted me. I didn't stay anywhere cause I had only one day. The food was amazing. I saw Piazza Maggiore, Two Towers, a historical library, and the Basilica of San Domenico.

I felt quite safe in Bologna both day and night. I went to a concert and other concert goers were very approachable and kind. We ended up having a really great experience and even went on to the afterparty. The venue security (Arena Puccini) did a great job. Bologna has no shortage of good food and the transport system was easy to navigate - except at night, when we took cabs. It was my third solo trip and it was unforgettable because of the friendships made :)

I don't recommend visiting this city at any price! People do not clean their pet pees on the street and l put my shoes on one of them... terrible! Because the Unibo accepts so many students, there is always lack of room in this city. B&B canceled my booking out of the blue and l did not know what to do. People were not kind of nice in my experience and just wanted to Rip you off as soon as they get that you are a tourist. Just don't go there...
