How safe is Padua?

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

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

Very safe!!! I’m a young woman and I never felt unsafe walking around Padova. I wouldn’t recommend certain areas when is dark though, just out of prevention. I’ve never experienced something bad happened to me

Padua can be rated 8/10. In my opinion the city center and the Portello area are the safest places in the city. You should avoid the station area and the surrounding areas! Padua is very accessible and public transports are very easy and safe. If you are a young woman I recommend visiting the Portello area in which you can find lots of university students!

It is relatively safe but there have been incidents of harassment in the streets generally after dark. These people unfortunately mostly black people so we are a bit more careful. There are also some incidents of stealing bikes and stuff but overall crime rate is not that high.
