Currently in Milan – such a simple, calm and elegant city. Unfortunately, my friend’s wallet was stolen, so I’m a bit more cautious than usual. Still trying to enjoy the beauty around. Yeppp thats all

During the day I feel comfortable walking around because it's always very crowded, especially in the central areas. The downside though is that people intervene very little if something happens... During the night unfortunately I don't feel safe...

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.

I 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

A very beautiful city, with an atmosphere of something ancient, mysterious, very beautiful ancient architecture, there is a lot to see, very tasty food but quite expensive, although there are also cheap cafes,there are 24-hour shops, they have very tasty cookies, sandwiches and tea haha, in general it is an ideal place for those who love old architecture and museums!
