How safe is Naples?

I don't think it's a city more dangerous than others, many stereotypes aren't so true. But it is still a large and very complex city. Often, I don't feel safe; in the past, I was even attacked by a group of kids for no reason. But the greatest fear is definitely being robbed: in Naples, we would never leave anything unattended, the trust among citizens is very low. And the police are definitely not very cooperative.

I feel pretty safe strolling around Naples' historic centre, even in the surrounded areas, but at night and expecially near the stations such as Garibaldi or Centro Direzionale, you should pay attention 24/7.

Naples is a chaotic city but I think it’s not unsafe as everyone thinks, in fact it is safer than a lot of big cities in Italy like Milan or Rome. In Naples you can eat delicious food basically everywhere but I do have some recommendations to avoid tourists traps and to save money.

It isn't vrry safe, but if you know where to go and keep your eyes open, it's pretty fine. Just keep attention and don't go to isolated places, maybe ask locals the best bars/places where to go and everything will be fine!

I felt safe because I was not alone. There are many things to see such as the sea, Vesuvius, Pompeii, many churches, wonderful squares and also beautiful sights. For those who love nightlife there are many bars and discos. Our budget was 500€ per one for 1 week, there are many accomodations on booking.it It is well served by public transport, the food is very good but not very cheap( make the booking before to go on a restaurant or pizzeria if you don't want do a very long line)

Solo travel

I liked Naples, I was at a great hotel with a lot of travelers. The only time when I didn't feel safe us when I heard that another woman staying at my hotel was strangled by a robber trying to rob her purse until her male friend came and the robber took off. Nothing happened to me or her except for shock but it made me feel less safe there, especially at night.
