Is Catania Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Catania

Catania in general is a safety city, people here are in general friendly. Of course you can meet someone that can attack you but i think that this can happen in every city. At the night the public transport is rare or the subway is closed, so If you live alone you need a cab or your car. In the summer the city is crowd of people so if you need any help you can always find someone. Si in general is safe but I recommend to be careful and frequenting crowd places

I mean just try to avoid all the surrounding near to the train station and the harbor, the areas around the cimitery and you will be fine. Best areas where to stay in summer are all the line coast, and in winter the center (via etnea, via gemmellaro and so on).

Not very safe, need to pay attention to bulgars, especially in desolate parts of the town. It is not very safe, especially for women, to walk alone in the night, be sure to always have company. There are some safe places, especially downtown but secondary streets may be more dangerous

Group travel

I went with a small group of friends and we had a great time! Food and drink is cheap and the people are overall friendly. The centre of catania is lively at night too and there are quite a few cocktailbars. There's loads of culture and history to check out too and I would defo recommend doing a boat trip🤩

Solo travel

Catania was everything I hoped Italy would be ! The food was excellent, not extensive at all compared to northern Europe. The city is quite small si it is not overwhelming at all and you can really feel like you can take your time !
