Rome is beautiful and Safe in day light but at night, I do not recommend girls hanging around alone unnecessarily as there have been cat calls, robberies and even rape attempts but all in dark specifically in Central Rome
Posted: June 10, 2025Rome is really safe inside the ring of city center . Don’t take so much precious things with yourself and you are safe . Stay inside the ring (city center). Take care of pick pockets. That’s all you should do in rome.

It's pretty safe as long as you keep your belongings low. I had a small carbine on my bags zipper, also I could attach my phone to my wrist. I had no other fear. People were mostly kind and helpful too.

Rome is pretty chill overall, although the petty theft is unreal. Esp in areas that are see more traffic by tourists, being robbed is more likely than not. You need to keep your belongings close and eyes open, but I would say it's pretty equal to other major eu cities like Barcelona or Paris
Posted: April 29, 2025Rome is a safe city in general, but it depends on the quarter you’re in. In the Centre there is much more safety because of the control but it’s also really chaotic, so some things still happen there.

Generally speaking it is a safe place, although I've heard that there are many pickpockets. I recommend avoiding the tourist attraction for example instead of waiting to see the Trevi fountain go to the underground fountain. Also for me it is a must to visit the art galleries like Galleria Borghese, Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, Galleria Doria Pamphilj, Galleria Colonna. For food I recommend going to Trastevere it is really amazing. But also please visit AMALFI MADRE that is Via dei Gracchi, it has amazing food and the people working there are really nice and if you want a good panino, right across Amalfi Madre is a place called Panino Divino the food there was heavenly.

Overall i felt very safe during daytime specially in touristic zones. I would recomend to try to avoid the underground in the evening and at night specially as a solo female traveller. I would also not recomend to walk around the central train station (Roma termini) on your own during nightime.
