Is Milan Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Milan

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

It'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)

I 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.

overall safe, must pay attention to your surroundings if you’re a tourist. girls get easily weird looks/cat calling, but most of the times if you ignore those people nothing will happen. however, bad events happen as well so always be careful

It depends where and at what time you are travelling. In general it’s not so safe if you are a girl by yourself: no one would recommend you to walk alone at night. It’s better if you stay in group and in more lightened streets.

Solo travel

Sightseeing in Milan is nice. Duomo is a must visit. Main attractions are very close to each other, so it’s possible to walk between them. It was easy to get around using the metro line. I did not feel completely safe during my solo trip. I was catcalled and received racist comments while sightseeing in a park.

Solo travel

I felt very safe in Milano. It's super crowded and if you're claustrophobic you should probably go to Milano on quieter days, but otherwise Milano is super safe. There are police and security everywhere, you can stay out late at night as a solo female traveler and nothing will happen. Of course there are always some idiots who cause a bit of trouble, but you can find them in every city. So yes, I felt really safe in Milano. And if you're there, don't book everything in advance, sometimes it's cheaper on the spot than online
