In my opinion, Milan is not a dangerous city. I feel afraid only when I am alone at night. As in every big city, there are some issues with crimes such as rape or theft. As a local I don't feel scared when I'm using public transports or when I'm walking in the city.
Posted: July 3, 2025I spent 2 days in Milan during my Italy trip. I generally use public transport- trams and metro to travel in city. After 10pm the streets felt in-safe. I was cat-called a LOT. Random men just come up to you & start saying things even after you tell them to go.

It is important to be careful in Milan as in any other big city. The central areas can feel safer. Public transportation works well and I recommend using it. I'd recommend being more cautious at night
Posted: June 20, 2025It's not easy to feel safe while walking alone in the city, especially at night and especially if you're a young girl. There are many things to worry about, also there's a high risk to be robbed, especially in the metro stations.

Based on the area you're in you surely feel safer or unsafe, but overall almost everywhere you get to experience catcalls, people being physical without much consent and pickpockets daily (the last one especially on public transport)
Posted: June 9, 2025I think it’s a pretty safe city even though some areas can be a bit more sketchy than others, but overall subways are very safe and I guess walking alone at night does not feel that scary. Avoid train stations at late night.

Everything was fine but i didn’t like that it’s hard to find places to eat during some hours(like 16-17) became a lot of places are closed for some rest( Mostly people are kind and easygoing. Little bit expensive food in crodwded places
