Is Rome safe for solo female travelers?

Rome is generally a safe city for solo female travelers. Street crime such as pickpocketing and bag snatchings can occur, particularly in tourist areas, so it's essential to stay vigilant and keep your belongings secure. Public transportation and tourist sites can be crowded, which may attract petty thieves. While walking around, stick to well-populated areas, especially at night. Like any other city globally, it requires a general level of caution, but overall, Rome’s friendly and warm atmosphere makes it comfortable for solo female travelers.

Travelled with fam and friends. Stayed centrally but also spent some time in Trastevere. The city is like one big archeological site. Looking forward to visiting again in the future with just the fam.

Solo travel

I’ve been to Rome a few times, once with friends and a few times alone. I felt pretty safe by myself and with friends, but I didn’t really walk alone at night and I don’t think I would, but I wouldn’t do it anywhere except for my neighborhood in my country. But during the day and evening I wasn’t worried about anything, I heard a lot about pickpockets but fortunately didn’t see any, it’s just important to look at your belongings

We generally felt safe walking out in Rome. There is a great number of tourists, as well as immigrants from Bangladesh, Pakistan and India who work in restaurants, cafeterias etc. Italians generally don't know english so you should know basic words to move around. Rome is not too expensive and offers top food choices

During the day Rome is a safe city however at night some parts of the city is dangerous. You might wanna avoid the Termini station and near it at night considering a lot of crimes are happening there.

I felt safe alone in the city center around 9 PM, but crowded spots can be risky because of pickpockets. Always watch your belongings and stay alert around street vendors. Avoid going alone to distant neighborhoods, even during the day

After living for years in Rome, I’ve never felt unsafe, even when I was walking back home at 3am around the main train station Termini. Make sure to be keep an eye to your belongings because there are a lot of pickpockets apparently.

During the day Rome is safe, especially on the city center. On the night I don’t recommend to stay out alone, especially if the area is not in the center and quite isolated. Avoid the stations during the night.

Safety in Rome depends greatly on the area of the city. However, you should always be vigilant and careful, especially if you are alone in the evening or at night. I don't consider it unsafe in general, but you still need to be careful.
