Is Padua Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Padua

Depending on the neighborhood you go to, especially for tourists, the most popular sights are not dangerous at all. As a woman obviously there's always fear to walk alone by night but for where I live, it's quite safe

How safe is Padova for me? Pretty safe, it’s my hometown. Like any city, it has a few areas where I stay more aware (around the train station, some corners of Arcella), but overall I walk, bike, and live here without fear. If you have common sense and know how to read a place, Padova is welcoming, vibrant, and calm. Solo travel feels fine, even at night just choose the right streets.

Padua is rather safe city except of station area at night. I have been living hear for six years and have never faced any problems. However I would be cautious at night, just in case, especially near station area.

It depends in which area you are, center is safe, arcella is also okay but i dont know the area after arcella. Station is fifty percent safe i usually go faster around there. I dont like using tram. They will steal your bikes whether its locked or not.

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
