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.

Center 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

it 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.

In general, it is a fairly safe city. However, as in any other city, it is worth following basic safety rules. I also heard that the northeastern part of the city is the most dangerous. It is better not to walk alone on the beach at night, since during the warm seasons, you can often meet homeless people there.

all in all I feel quite safe, much more than many other Italian cities. Obviously I avoid some areas like the port (I only go there during the day or in company) some parts of the historic center (some alleys are very safe and in fact the nightlife is all there, in others I would never go there) and in general Darsena/Dinegro

I think it is safe to stay, but i live in a good place of genova and have a great neighborhood, but from what I have heard from my friends it is a safe place and i heard not much about being rubbed just few times and without any violence.

Genoa is a pretty safe city, during the day you can get around anywhere even on your own, you just have to be careful in transportation about your belongings. During the night it is less safe but it depends on the areas you are in. Some scones are totally safe even at night.

Genoa is kinda safe in my opinion, not worse than any other big city in which I have been. During the day you can safely go everywhere without a single worry while when it’s dark you have to be a little more cautious. I suggest to avoid public transport if it’s very late (like in the middle of the night) if you are alone. I suggest to avoid “Vicoli” in the night if you are alone.

Genoa is a really calm city. My first piece of advice would always be to stick to what feels comfortable to you, but coming from the outbarks myself and having also traveled and lived in other cities I can tell you that Genoa is one of the most peaceful places you can visit. People here are generally friendly, and while like anywhere it's always good to be aware of your surroundings, Genoa has such a welcoming vibe overall. It's definitely a place where you can feel at ease.

genova is a beautiful city that gives the opportunity to see many things and get in touch with many realities. Even turning in the evening I felt safe :) I recommend a tour of the old town, expecially via del campo and the museum dedicate to fabrizio de andré

Genova is a beautiful and historical city in Liguria, it’s very famous for the little streets and it was amazing seeing this in person. There are many beaches and the sea around it, which are super beautiful. It was amazing, btw the food is incredibly good, I recommend the ravioli house for nice ravioli pasta 🇮🇹❤️
