How safe is Como?

Como is a nice city near lake, a little bit boring in winter but in summer is full of people from all over the world! You can grab a beer, make aperitivo in a one of ours cuties bars or take an ice cream and eat it doing a walk!

The city center is quite safe (but be careful to pickpockets!), the surroundings are less safe. Robberies are becoming more common. I’d avoid going out after dark as a woman because I don’t feel particularly safe

Como is mostly a safe city I would say , especially during the day . I don’t feel very safe going out at night , but just for my own personal reason , I prefer to visit the city during the day , however fortunately I have never had particularly negative experiences .

During the day very safe, but as soon as it gets dark, it's to be avoided like the plague because it teems with homeless people and perdition. However, the nightlife is fantastic, just never go around alone. Otherwise, I think it is quite safe.

in my opinion, the center of Como is a very is safe space for women but if you are planning to stay outside of the center, I think you should be much more careful since it’s not very touristic and not very much nice people lives outside of the center but overall you can be very safe. You can walk after even 12 AM, you can drink have fun. Everyone will be kind to you. This city is one of the safest place in Italy in my opinion.

Generally safe, especially during the day. The worst that can happen is a homeless man bothering you. At night, depends where you are. If you're in the town center where lots of people are, try to avoid groups of men. Nothing happens, but better to be safe than sorry. If you live outside the city center, where there arent many people around, you should be totally fine.

Solo travel

como is a city i did not enjoy, except for the smell of the lake, the view with the lake and the mountains (but the barrier right in frint of the lake was like in the way of, well ... everything) and the gelato i have tried because my friend i met in my hostelroom in verona two days before (we then traveled together for three days because we had the same route for those days what was kinda awesome). that was all i enjoyed there. como is a dead city that is just only still in buisness because of buisness. and i mean what i say. when i layed down to rest a little on a middlehigh stonewall under a roofspace right next to the church downtown, i said to my friend "this place sucks" she asked me why. some of was i said was "because this place is just for aome rich people, and tourists, the people working here are probably mostly not even living here, here is no real live, this city just still excists for making money." so... the only reason i would go to como again is for taking the bus there to one of the more welcoming and livebreathing villages along the como lake. just noticing because the app asked me for pictures: i didnt even take many... AND I LOVE TAKING PICTURES!!! will also put in some if my pictures from my time in menaggio, one village more up north the como lake.
