How safe is Rome?

Rome it’s not very safe if you walk around alone in the dark. You can travel via bus in the day but in the dark it could be better if you pay attention. Anyway there are place Safier than other. It’s better if you are with other people and not alone.

I feel very safe in Rome as a female traveler, though it is important to always be mindful of your surroundings, especially on public transport. Me and my friends have never had any experiences with theft or pick pocketing.

Rome overall is pretty safe. The city centre is usually very crowded and the most famous parts are police protected. We do have pickpockets and the like in these areas. The more outside the centre you go the more you are likely to have problems, especially in areas like Tor Bella Monaca that are mafia controlled

Rome is very safe, especially in the centre. Just be careful at night time don’t walk alone in dark streets of course. The only area to avoid is Termini station after 9pm. But overall it is a safe city :)

I would say generally Rome is safe. Always take precaution, and don’t walk around drunk especially alone at night. But I used to live in NYC (East Village) and I feel safer here in Rome. Certain neighborhoods like Termini can feel weird as a woman.

Is Rome safe to travel?

4.3 /5

Based on 53 experiences

Family travel experience

Rome was very overwhelming in a good way. There where so many people walking on the streets and so much to see. I traveled with 3 other women in my family and I felt more safe than I would in the United States. It’s a very big and crowded city so I would be careful with you belongings. If you are religious I highly recommend St. Paul’s basilica outside the wall and the cathedral of Loyola.

Group travel experience

It was really good experience for us. I wanna go back to Roma again. I fell in love with this city! I tried so many kinds of pizza and pasta. They were delicious 😍😍 We had only 2 days in Roma, I think its not enough time for us. I wanna stay for 1 week, maybe later? :))

Family travel experience

The bus was not always reliable especially at night. I would recommend another way to travel at night (a scooter maybe) We stayed at an Airbnb. Less expensive to share among 4 people, it could be expensive for a solo traveler or a couple. If you plan to visit the famous seeing sites, you need to plan ahead and make reservation. The pass seems to be a good deal. We didn't plan the trip till one month before and we had to get into a guided group in order to enter the sites. Plenty good food everywhere. Might be more difficult for vegans.
