Is Milan Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Milan

Overall depends on the area of the city (there are some areas that are not safe and it’s better to avoid). However pickpockets are everywhere and it’s better to look after your things, especially in central areas or Centrale

Even though it's a beautiful place for colture, hidden gems and activities, it is quite unsafe for women. If you stay in the center, zona Navigli or Chinatown for example, you're pretty safe, but there are areas like Corvetto and Quartoggiaro that are known for being anything but safe, especially for girls. And night time can be difficult if you're Alone, so gotta be careful

I do not live in Milan, but in the province and is definitely very quiet as a small town in the middle of the countryside. I walk alone during day, in the city or in the wood, and during night. But Milan has become more dangerous, in the evening I do not take public transport alone and even parking in isolated areas. During the day I am always attentive to who I have around, there are many pickpockets and "strange" people (men for the most). It’s a beautiful city, it has a lot of things to do and explore, but pay attention where you go, there’s a lot of criminality in the remote streets. Stay safe in public lighted spaces when you’re alone or with a little female group.

Unfortunately there a lot of immigrant that are harassing women also during the day, so from 2020 ongoing Milan is kinda dangerous, you need to be very concentrated on the street. I don’t recommend to walk by night alone, not even with a group of girls. During the nigh you need a taxi to move around safely.

It’s not a safe city for women, especially at night. it’s very common to find pickpockets on public transport and it’s better not to walk alone in isolated streets. in some areas there are men who catcall you

Based on the statistics, Milan is not considered one of the safest cities in Italy, actually quite the opposite. On my personal experience is not that dangerous if you’re brave and careful enough; I’ve never had a single problem even when I was traveling alone, in the worst public transportation, during the worst hours and areas of the city; maybe I’ve been lucky but that’s my experience.

It really depends on the area. The train station is the most unsafe, don't ever go around there at night. The subway is also pretty dangerous at night and you can get pickpocketed at every hour of the day

Centre of Milan is mostly safe both during the day and night. However there are some areas where you should be more cautious such as train stations. The major concern personally for me is being robbed so I’d suggest that you keep an eye on your belongings.

Milan has safer areas and less safe area. Women can stay alone in Milan, but they, as in every other city, have to pay attention when they are alone in the street. In my experience, I feel safe when there are people in the street; if I have to go in some areas that aren't so crowded, I always ask a friend to accompany me.

Actually not that much... There's been a rise in crimes especially the ones about mugging robbing or sexual harassment, as I've been living here my whole life I'm fine but for a stranger it might be a bit dangerous

Group travel

I felt pretty safe, but that’s because I was with my friends. We were there in large group so no one would feel uncomfortable. And it was overall pretty amazing experience. Everyone should se this beautiful city on their own.

Couple travel

I was only afraid of pickpocketing, but that did not happen I defenetly recommend you visiting Chinatown And if you are in Milan, you should visit Como Lake As well We were staying outside of Milan, and the metro was a bit confusing for me, but not bad at all
