Is Rome Safe for Women?

For me for some neighborhoods are super chaotic. I am a Turkish person who has lived in Istanbul and sometimes I feel Roma is less safer than Istanbul. Catcalling is a lot, especially pickpocket is a lot.

I have been living in Rome for two years and have never truly experienced dangerous situations, even going around alone at night. There is always someone around. I have always avoided too peripheral areas alone at night. Also Termini station is full of scary people so I would not go there at night.

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.

Rome 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

eyes 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

Family travel

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)
