Is Milan Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Milan

I always feel quite safe but please be careful in some areas. I personally have never had any problems anywhere in Milan, even in some area that are not the best for safety but it's always good to stay careful. If you travel alone pepper spray is always a must, in Milan and anywhere else.

It's not that safe to stay in Milan nowadays, expecy if you are a woman. But it's totally possible to do it, just be careful and avoid certain areas at a certain time. Try to avoid navigli or central station during night. Prefer areas like duomo or garibaldi. Beware of pickpockets on the metro and for the rest, enjoy and have fun!

Streets are kinda dark and it doesn’t feel safe but in general public transports are good choice and people are nice. Try to avoid areas where are more foreigners than locals and do not have conversations if something feels wrong.

Milan was an interesting experience - full of fashion, history, and a fast-paced energy. It’s a big, busy city with a lot to offer, but it didn’t feel as safe and relaxed as smaller places like Coimbra. You definitely need to stay aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded areas or at night. That said, I never had any real issues, just the usual big-city vibes where you keep your bag close and your phone in your pocket. I’m still glad I went and got to experience its unique style and atmosphere.

I have been living here for some time and I can safely say that when you leave the city center, people can get a bit dangerous. I live outside the city center but use metro daily- nothing happens in metros but there were 2 instances in which i was followed to home, luckily my concierge guy helped me. at night, especially after 12- 12:30 am when metro's closed, just take a taxi.
