Is Naples Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Naples

The strongest element in the city is the great community all around. If someone sees or listen something they don’t like, they will interfere and help without hesitation. No one is left alone. Naples is known for a sad criminality history and we can say that just in the last 5/10 years the city opened completely to tourism. That’s why no one wants bad stuff to happen

Naples is a city like Rome or Milan, not worst. As all the big cities in the world, you should avoid to walk alone in the most isolated neighbourhoods in the night. Careful to your phone and wallet even during the day, especially in the most crowded areas and on public transport.

It's safe as long as you walk during the day, always keep your belongings in check and stay quiet, lol. not so safe for night walks, if you don't speak even a little bit of Italian, and also if you wear your backpack on your back, and you put money or phone in it, you most probably will lose it, and the police won't help you at all to find your belongings. last night I was out for a walk and a complete stranger approached to me, I said I don't speak Italian but he kept talking to me anyways, I guess he wanted money to buy a ticket to Sicily - 18 Euro 🫠 made me repeat myself a couple times that I did not have it with me. no matter how many times I said that I did not speak Italian, he still kept going. also, almost like 4-5 friends of mine got their phones stolen in the last 2 months. the post building got shattered and destroyed by the locals, because they sheltered a beaten up guy. I guess you must stay in your line. not too safe for women with SA experience, every mid aged or old man calls you bella, does not matter you like this or not. around garibaldi, it's not even safe in the day light, you might come accross fightings every evening, and the police cars and god knows. I thing the center of the city is much safer,but the places I've lived, I usually don't go outside after 9 PM 🥲

It depends on the neighbourhood. I would say generally it is safe, but one has to beware of pickpockets. I am content with the public transport, it is quite clean and organized and I wouldn’t consider it dangerous.

In Naples you need to pay attention and have open eyes , people will always help you. Never put your mobile phone in your pocket and put visible expensive things. No accept presents because they can ask you money. Say Grazie and go

Naples it’s a beautiful city but there are some places that are unsafe.Clearly people that lives here knew where to go and where to stay chill. For enjoying my city there are also many places that are unknown for most of the people.

Naples is not known for its safety but in the last years it's grown to change for the better in some places it's better to NEVER go alone or after dark but in the majority of the city i don't mind walking alone at night

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.

Solo travel

Hi girls !! I spent a month near Naples and had the opportunity to visit the city several times. I always felt safe there, but I never experienced the nightlife. Don't bother going to the vintage market in Ercolano, it's just a street with a few thrift shops. Don't miss the historic center, where prices are the cheapest for food and gift shops, and you must also visit the Spanish Quarter!

Group travel

It is a beautiful city especially. The trip is so much better when you add Sorento or Positano to the route. I was fine traveling with my friends. But some of my friends had some unfortunate incidents in the city so I suggest you to be very careful. But there is a lot to see and a lot to eat. Probably the best pizza I’ve ever eaten in Italy. You’ll have a great time as long as you’re careful.
