Despite what's been televised as part of propaganda for upcoming elections, Milan isn't any less safer than a big city. Of course the neighborhood where you live will impact the evaluation, but I've been here for 10y and I've seen it getting increasingly safe
Posted: October 3, 2025Milan can be as safe as dangerous, in the centre of the city the criminality's level is not that high. On public transport, in some places, you need to pay attention. In general I think you can come here in safety

In the last years it’s not so safe, be careful girls going around alone and keep always your bags closed. At night use taxi don’t use public transport at night it’s very dangerous and stay in the central parts of the city.

Milan is a city where I generally feel quite safe — but that’s also because I live in a central and safe area. Like in many big cities, it’s important to be a bit careful when walking alone at night or taking public transport late, especially in certain neighborhoods. In general, it’s better to use ride-sharing services or private transport if you’re out late.

Milan is moderately safe if you know which parts of the city to avoid at night. Metro is safe, most of buses are not (90/91/92 lines running at night are well known to be unsafe). If you can, go around in groups.
