Is Palermo Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Palermo

Palermo is full of people that actually mind their business, the fact is what area of Palermo you are at For example, the "Vucciria" area (is an open area that in the night time is a place for Dance and have fun) is full of every kind of people, but some could be under some substances, and I can't deny that, nowadays, Males are much more likely to get angry over dumb things; the feminine experience with the guys in there is 90% of him trying to board you but generally you can move to another spot and it just finish there. This kind of thing happens even with other open-places but you're safe. If you feel into trouble pick some good-looking people or groups and try to intend your problem. The help sign with the hand could be great too (hoping they know it tho). By the way, these are very common things in every public place at night, but if you know how to manage these things then you're good!

I think it's a safe city, but you don't have to go everywhere. I walk alone at night after work, and I never feel unsafe. There are some weirdos you might meet in the city, maybe once a year, but I think it's like that everywhere.

Palermo is a safe place, but it's important to avoid some places that are far from the city centre. Usually it's not a big deal to walk alone, I always recommend to walk with someone or at least to take a scooter.

Palermo is safe only by day.. I don't think that it is safe by night, expecially if you are a girl. You have to be careful on the bus too cause sometimes random guys push you on the back, it's not adorable

Better to not being alone. Walk Always with a friend if you are not a local. But if you walk alone dont talk and dont watch, dont give the chance to reply. People most of the time are just annoying. But if they continue be aggressive or weird

It's safe if you follow a local's guide or if you are walking in groups after dark specially. Although I would say that there are some areas that are to be avoided the rest of the areas are particularly safe. Although being a tourist I would suggest to watch out for your belongings and traps from local vendors.

*as someone who visited over 20 places in italy, palermo is in top 3 *food is amazing and cheap *mostly safe, men sometimes stare uncomfortably but nothing more than that in my experience. Be careful about your belongings as in any other touristic city *went in October and it was 30 degrees Perfect for the beach still but also not as crowded as in summer months *public buses suck in sicily compared to the rest of the country but trains are great Went to a day trip to cefalu and agrigento Would recommend agrigento 10/10 *I stayed in casa di amici, female room, super clean and walkable distance from everything

I had a great experience while visiting Palermo. I felt safe and it was so easy to get to know new people. There is also large expat community which organise regular meetings and activities
