I don't think it's the safest city, it's not safe to go around by yourself at night. Avoid the main train station at night (and be careful with pickpockets during the day), avoid metro stations at night
Posted: September 10, 2024It depends on the neighborhoods, but generally I don't feel safe at night walking the streets alone. In the city centre it's beautiful but it depends on the street one is walking and in the metro stations I always pay attention
Posted: August 29, 2024Rome is divided into different districts. The center and its surrounding neighbourhoods are pretty safe for tourists and locals in general. I suggest sticking to these areas if you are a foreigner and also a solo traveler.
Posted: August 9, 2024Rome is a really safe city, there are always policeman around. I ve never felt insecure and I used to return home late at night in public transport. The only place that you need to avoid during the evening is termini station.

Rome is a nice city, depending on the neighborhood it can be more or less safe, buses and public transport are used a lot even late at night, so i feel safe taking the bus even at 1 or 2, if you’re someone who pays attention even if sometimes there’s reports of people stealing on the metro it won’t happen to you
Posted: July 11, 2024The centre is safe and full of people during the night aswell. The area around the station may be less safe but it is unfrequent to hear sonething bad. You may feel not comfortable, because there are many groups of men. Beware of pickpockets on the busses an metro. Don’t accept drinks from people you do nt know
Posted: July 11, 2024Rome is a beautiful city but you have to be careful. It can be as safe as dangerous at the same time. In the metro there are many pickpockets, so be careful and keep an eye on your possessions, always. Some neighborhoods of the city are not as safe as they can seem, so always keep an eye on the people around and the situation.

The center is quite safe. Also at night. Other areas where you can find the nighlife like San Lorenzo and Pigneto it's Better to be very carefull in the late hours. It' safer ti go out in campo de'fiori or trastevere
Posted: July 4, 2024Rome is overall a safe city to stay, but I recommend to not stay during the evening or at night near Termini station, as it can be a bit "wild". City centre is safe, I can roam around for hours even at night and I don't feel any kind of danger. Just beware of pickpockets!

Rome is a large tourist city. If you keep your wits about you, you'll be okay, but yes, there are a lot of homeless folk, and there are a lot of places you can be pickpocketed. But, if you keep your belongings secure, stay with people, and keep an eye out, the most extreme behavior you will likely face is pickpocketing. They won't be aggressive. As far as harassment goes, it happens. Especially in areas like Termini. And, the night bus can be awkward for women, but generally there will also always be other people around. If possible, I recommend being with other people because there is always safety in numbers.

We had a great family time. We went to Vatican City, which was a great experience for my mom. We needed to rent a car, so it was really safe and comfy for us since we heard the train wasn't that safe. Best decision ever—we were able to travel to other places in Italy.

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.
