Is Padua Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Padua

In the last 4 years I have been here things have changed drastically, they even change seasonally. When it’s fine and everybody’s out and the sun is out till 21, it’s alright. There are very good people too that help whenever you ask. Around the national and academic holidays when all the students go home, it’s like a fricking jungle. The police has started to take some precaution finally. But if you’re ever in Padova, don’t linger around the train station, in via Trieste, and via Venezia. Everyone says Arcella is dangerous but I don’t believe so I lived there 2 years, it was safe. The safest place to be is Portello where all the students are and around Prato. Stay safe ladies and don’t hesitate to ask for help if you need it on the street, people are mostly kind. Just dont ask old people

Overall is a safe city, especially in the old city center area, it’s fine to walk around at night, just be careful and be conscious. You have to be really careful at night around the train station and Arcella neighborhood, I would honestly never go there alone

Padova is a place where I'd go mostly everywhere alone feeling safe, but I would avoid doing so in certain areas and especially at night. The worst I've experienced as a woman is catcalling (it's quite common in all of Italy) and harassment in my teenagehood. People here can be quite heavy drinkers so I'd be more cautious with consent when it comes to nightlife and drunk people. I feel overall safe biking around and taking public transport, although Italian traffic is not the safest for cyclists.

Padua is a little and historical city. There always students around and the transports are safe. Everyone goes around with bikes even at night. It is super calm. Other than students there are grannys. Only the zone behind the station is a little more unsafe, there may be drunk people after eleven. But even if you arrive late with the train, there are always taxis just oyt of the station. Padua is a peaceful and safe place. There are also a lot of events organised by students.

Padova is generally safe But since I am new here and I am not a local it kind of feels unsafe at times. I saw some crimes happening in front of me so I am a little worried every now and then. But with this I also see my local friends travelling at night on their bikes freely . Public transport is generally safe. With the language Barrier it's difficult to get help so it's better to have local friends who speak English

It depend, but Is okay in general. I have the possibile tò find a lot of good situation: my personal Bubble Is a safe so I think I don't have a clear view of reality but for me Just the the station makes me feel a little unsafe.

Padova is a safe, medium-sized city. I've grown up going out alone during the night without having any problem. I've been robbed twice during the holiday period.. it's not a holistic place. You need to be careful, but you can do whatever you want and any time you desire.

Padua is a safety town since there are lot pd students always around due to the big university is located in it. I feel safe at every time of the day and night, both walking and cycling. The only neighborhood I won’t go during night is the one next to the train station.

Actually Padova is a very safe city. Only the train station region is full of immigrants and different nationalities. You should be careful about that region. Otherwise I’ve been living in the city centre and haven’t seen any problem. And its very common here to burglary of bikes. You should be careful about that. Other wise no worries

Padua is a relatively safe city in north eastern Italy. The central neighborhoods are particularly safe, and it is ok to walk at night. To reach other neighborhoods at night I would recommend to ride a bike or take a bus instead
