Rome is generally safe, but pickpockets are everywhere, especially in tourist areas. The city center is fine for walking around, but it’s riskier at night. It’s best to stay alert and avoid being alone late in the evening.
Posted: March 8, 2025I feel it really depends on where you are, of course if you are close to the main station Termini it's not the best, but if you are in Parti near the Vatican it's quite safe, I always take the public transport at night and in some areas I am really chill cause I know them, but it's not save everywhere. If you are planning to go there check before where you are staying at night
Posted: March 1, 2025Rome but basically all big Italian cities are not really safe right now, too many male people don't have enough brain to know when doing something is not okay. If you stay with a friend, everything is okay, no worries

It depends where you are. There are a lot of poor people and thiefs especially in the Metro stations (subways). Walking around in the centre at night of course is different from walking in the suburbs, especially in those areas where it is more common that drug is sold etc. We have also to say that is a crowded city so it is also easy to not find yourself alone.
Posted: February 14, 2025It depends on the areas and times, but you need to keep your eyes open and be aware of your surroundings. This doesn't mean that Rome is a bad city, but since it is overcrowded, it is also full of people with bad intentions. Avoid walking alone at night in sketchy areas.
Posted: February 11, 2025Rome Is a big beautiful city but the safety depends on where you live. I live next to Roma Tiburtina station so it's not the safer zone but also not the worst. There are people walking till late almost Everyday, many students and young guys, especially on the weekend so it's not very bad. The problem Is if you have to take the bus or the metro by night, i dont feel safe to do It alone, i get very anxious, infact i only use my car which i have in the city since two years. Also public transports dont run as often as they should by night, so i dont recommend to travel alone if you have to go in a far neighborhood of Rome.

I travelled alone to Rome for a few days, I felt super safe during the day and evening. On nights I walked around late, I didn’t feel in danger in the center and known places. Some neighborhoods, notably near the train stations are to be avoided, notably for petty crime or mugging

Roma is one of my favorite location in Europe but sometimes (especially at Termini) I feel so insecure please take care of your stuff and yourself. Every part of Rome is amazing but there is a really big security problem.
Posted: February 9, 2025Rome is a safe city for girls in tourist areas because it is very crowded. Thefts are not very frequent, but you have to be careful, especially on the metro. to avoid dark and isolated alleys, where unpleasant encounters could occur, and to avoid bridges sometimes inhabited by individuals who could intimidate
Posted: February 8, 2025It's a big city, especially in the outskirts it is not very safe, in the center the controls are greater but it is vast and even there it depends on the area. I recommend going to areas with lots of people like Trastevere and the surrounding area, especially if you're looking for nightlife. Despite this, it's worth it.

Rome is my favorite trip so far. It was the most beautiful city, the people were very friendly and it had plenty of nature and history for lovers of travelling. It was such a beautiful experience, and of course the food was the best!
Posted: March 3, 2025I felt super safe in Rome (good areas). Hard to meet solo travellers but maybe because I wasn’t in the right mindset at the time to be honest. The city is very lively there is always a lot to do! I absolutely adored my time.

Hey girls,My friends call me Aizayyyy (they love to add as many "y"s as they can). I am calm, polite, and a very good listener and observer. I'm a student, and my complex and difficult research sometimes makes me crazy, but on the side, I like to explore and visit new places. I love to cook for others, though not so much for myself 😆. I strongly believe in doing good and helping everyone, as you'll be rewarded with something good in any form.
