During the day I fell safe, but you can never be sure. It’s a peaceful city and I usually don’t feel in danger. I’ve never experienced any armament but you can never know it’s always important to stay alert and be careful, no matter where you are.

the only thing they steal here are bikes. the only zone i dont feel safe being alone at is the station in the middle of the night, i got approached by some drunk guy and it was not a great experience, but apart from that i feel really safe in ferrara

I live ferrara since september, me and my roommates have never been robbed or else. ai usually walk by myself, and whichever our of the day, i've always felt pretty safe. I'm aware that's possible that something dangerous could happen, but there's a lot of patrols in the city.

Ferrara is a small and very quiet city, but like in all cities, you need to be careful, especially around the train station at night, even though it is always patrolled by the police. In general, I feel very safe, even when coming back late at night, and personally, I’ve never had any particularly bad experiences.
Posted: January 5, 2025Ferra is quite a safe city, is easy to visit and people are really nice. Also there is a lot of student because of the big university so u can meet a lot people and everyone is so nice. U can go around at every hour without worries, especially in the city center. OFC basic precautions are necessary.
