Rome is a generally safe city, of course since its so big and mixed it really depends on the area you are in. In the touristic parts and central areas you really just have to worry about pickpockets, while in the southern parts especially some poorer neighbourhood, sexual harassment like catcalling or stalking can be more common.
Posted: September 3, 2025Rome has a lot of pickpockets and certain areas like near Termini station and Cornelia station are quite dangerous at night - you definitely wouldn’t go there alone. I wouldn’t really walk alone at night and you have to be hyper aware of your surroundings and belongings when walking around to avoid pickpockets
Posted: August 29, 2025eyes oper on the public transport and of course at night but during the day you can easily avoid trouble, people are loud but chill, most of them friendly. i suggest san lorenzo, trastevere and piazza bologna to go with you young group of friends
Posted: August 25, 2025I love Rome it is sooo beautiful with all these amazing places🤍 But at night I feel so scared to walk alone especially around certain areas such as Termini. So be careful around these certain places girls stay safe. But overall I don’t ever want to move out of Rome im in love❤️🔥
Posted: August 24, 2025You have to keep your eyes open to stay calm. In tourist places, very often there are gypsy girls/women who try to rob tourists. Be careful with men's comments, as they are often just sexual, unpleasant, and can cause anxiety.

Rome is a very attractive city where you can discover the italian culture very well. People here are really nice and sociable. As a person from minorities I did not experienced racism and I also met many people of my culture (Arabic)
