I often walk home alone after visting a club and I neuer feel unsafe. Once my mobile phone has been stoßen on the bus and other girls report the same, so stay attentive. You should avoid the small streets next to Piazza de Ferrari at night.

Genova is not an unsafe city to live, but men exist also here and not all of them are people I’d want to be around. I experienxe catcalling almost everyday but it always end there, there are definetely not many cases of women getting raped in Genova. On a scale 1-10 I would say that Genova is 7/10 safe (especially compared with some other italian cities).

Genova is a safe town (even if it's still a town : you still have to be carefull). There are a lot of old people (in public transportation for example) which make the city even more safe. Just a small recommandation : don't go to the street Via di pré, it's not safe.
Posted: April 6, 2025Center of the city and the port parts are dangerous after 9pm i did not see anything by my eyes but addictives are prefer to sleep there at night that is why you feel scared for many things but the rest of the city is call and looks safe
Posted: March 25, 2025it depends on which part are you going to, in the center some ‘Vicoli’ are better than other less busy, the public transport are mostly safe but it can happen to encounter bad people, especially with women, but like in every city. If you are travelling alone i recommend zones like castelletto, albaro, the centre.
